Ha. :-)
Yeah - got similar issues here.
I'm Irish/Italian, she's German. I can handle carbs; she apparently can't.
She likes the fried foods. She likes chicken. Hates lamb, mutton, goat. Not as big on red meat as I am.
She hates salad.
I'm getting used to it... Mostly because she's lost 12 pounds recently, using weightwatchers, and I'm not far behind with the ketogenic approach, working to a full-on Fat Flush. (Provided I stop with the goodies like Starbucks and candy.)
I need to get back on the literal menu, though. I'm sure I'm eating too much protein to maintain ketogenesis.
Also not a fan of most fish.... She likes fish, especially shellfish. I'll tolerate tuna and salmon, shark wasn't bad, but white fish? Yuck.
Might I suggest a crock pot approach, and see if you can grow foods? Tomatoes are good, peppers, beans, maybe strawberries. Hydroponic methods might work. Also lets you do Lettuce. Maybe carrots. Avocado, maybe? I'm just guessing & suggesting, though, consult an expert. ;-)
Topsy Turvy, I think was the brand name. Might work. Depends on a lot, though. We failed with the tomatoes - yield of maybe 5 tomatoes, about 1 per plant. But hot peppers? Too many to count! One plant got us like 200 in one season! YMMV.
