For those who were clueless like me:
Roll-mops refers to a pickled herring fillet rolled (hence the name) into a cylindrical shape around a piece of pickled cucumber or an onion. The whole thing is held together with one or two small wooden skewers. Rollmops are usually bought ready-to-eat, in jars. The marinade additionally contains water, white vinegar, salt, a bit of sugar or other sweetening agent, onion rings, peppercorns and mustard seeds. Rollmops can be eaten cold, without unrolling, or on bread. After the jar has been opened, rollmops will usually keep for 2-3 weeks if kept cool.
Pass on that one too.

Wait, aren't you IN the food business?
Shame on you....

I eat things with mayo. Brian is allergic to it.

I will also order in take out a lot. Sushi, italian food, calamari, thai food. All of which he's not super fond of.

IA. If you need me, just meow..
Dh does all the cooking here, so it's usually tuna sandwiches which hubby hates,
Ramen any kind, PB sandwiches, and that's about it.
Hubby eats pork or steak.

Chicken and Dumplings, with the fluffy (not rolled) dumplings, or cereal, or, before the kiddo, a TV dinner (but now that she's old enough to eat them I see this happening again...
)

My hubby does most of the cooking. When he's not around I eat pasta....when I lived alone it's the only food I ate!

Same here... I tend to need someone to remind me that I'm hungry. Or I'll munch on cookies or ice cream.

Not healthy, I know. Oops.

When my husband's gone, we eat healthy snacky stuff... when we need a hot meal, we eat out. It's my break from cooking every meal every day, and the only good part about him being gone.

Cheers, from

an ice cube in Iowa...
I tend to eat stuff that's really crappy, that I'm too embarrassed to normally snarf in front of him...like 1/2 a bag of Wavy Lays and french onion dip, PICKLES (hehe), cheesecake (hint, hint...yet somewhat true...), dry cereal, whatnot.

Me and my boyfriend both have similar taste in food. So I'm not really sure that I would choose anything out of the ordinary when he's gone. Although I do choose more girl shows/movies when he's not around

That's one of my faves!!

Don't get disgusted and I'll explain before I state what I eat. My father was a butcher so we got to eat some foods that most people wouldn't eat. So when he's not home, I'll cook up things he wouldn't touch. Oxtail soup, gizzards and lamb shanks (not at the same time).

Yep, I'm wierd.

The last two times my husband was out of town, he took the older kids with him and I just REVELED in not cooking ANYTHING for 3 days. It was awesome. The result was that I didn't eat much, though he did leave me with frozen pizzas and other ready-made foods so I had things to eat when I needed them. The baby was nursing so I didn't have to fix anything for him, and my 2 year old ate pancakes and pizza (already prepared, so we just heated them up) for almost every meal.

That's a good name for "there's nothing to eat, go find something yourself" nights.
Since I'm not in a relationship, nor married, when my parents are out I eat all of the cheese I can!
