Fussy Eaters

My husband is a fussy eater, there are so many foods he won't eat or even try. He won't eat foods mixed together so no casseroles, stirfries, he eats everything in order starting with the carrots and ending with the meat. If I want to make something different, I either have to cook seperately for him or wait til he is out. When asked what he wants for dinner his standard reply is "I'm Easy, whatever you want". I always tell him he isn't easy.

My main frustration is that we also have a cat who is a fussy eater. Husband does most of the grocery shopping so when he buys cat food he always buys the cat what she doesn't like, she prefers fish and chicken but not red meat. I constantly ask him to only buy fish or chicken but he constantly comes home with cans of meat cat food, he tells me "she's a cat, she'll eat what we give her".

If I can't talk him into trying new foods, what chance have I got of talking a cat into eating what she is given?

I suppose I have to console myself with a son who will try anything and a daughter who will try some things.
