This is why I don't cook for certain people. I could spend hours making something really good and some picky fuck will just make the icky face at it. How do you guys deal with cooking for the holidays? Do you conform to the plebs?

My dad isn't cooking shit. My mom is making it. My mom make my dad his father's day meal and he said after we all sat down, "is there no corn on the cob?". He's just like this and even if I accept it, it is still annoying to deal with. I'm usually prepared for a shitty reaction from him, but to throw a little fit over something he's never had is too much this time.

Damn dude it's not a big deal. Some people don't like some foods even though it's mostly retarded. My dad for example won't eat anything that has a buttery taste so I just made a small bowl of mashed potatoes that don't have butter in them. My sister in law doesn't like ham so we're making some chicken tendies to go with the meal instead. It's the holidays man, chill out.

I'm just not someone that will take the time to please people because they're picky. You say it's the holidays so who cares, but I tell everyone year after year that I don't want to make food if I'm going to have to appease everyone. The ones that aren't picky just know I'm good at cooking and don't want to deal with the picky fucks themselves. My mom used to make every holiday dinner gluten free just for my sister in law that barely ate anything. You feel the demeanor at the table too. It ruins everything. I'm glad your family doesnt suck.

Based. Sous vide that shit at 131 deg for a few hours to tenderize and sear over hot as balls charcoal. Remove from heat and cover the top with anchovy filets and black pepper. Place on a warm plate and tent with foil to rest. After resting, slice meat thinly on a bias and drizzle with clarified butter, a squeeze of lemon, and a sprinkle of finishing salt. Serve with an oil and vinegar field green salad and a small baked or a half twice baked potato. Fuck your stupid duck. Your dad is right.

I'm fine with people not liking things, as long as they actually don't like it. I'm not going to go out of my way to make something else for them, however. They can just pick around what they don't like. Although, if it's something that can't be picked around, I may do a half/half if possible.
Banana bread is a good example. Some people want nuts, some don't. It's not too hard to just throw nuts in/on half of the mixture.

What pisses me off is when someone insists that something needs to be present, and tells the people who don't want it present that they won't even notice or won't even taste it. Mother fucker, if that was the case then there's no reason to add it in the first place.

What a selfish child. If your parents are older/tired/traditional, why the hell would they want an orange flavored duck? Of course, it's gamier than other poultry, it's duck and that is exactly how duck should taste. They'll also have issues with you for cooking it rare. Predict how stupid you are being. Impress them by making something they already like...just better prepared then usual, or having more effort-giving sides. Make sure there's a big choice on the table, so they walk away from your meal dreaming about how nice your roasted veggies turned out, or that awesome jello mold like grandma used to make, or how soft your homemade bread turned out.
Not liking duck isn't picky, but pretty mainstream in opinion, which is why you don't see it on every restaurant menu. Duck is low tier in popularity. Make a choice of mains. It would be zero effort on your park an already cooked spiral ham with glaze at the same time as you cook your other main. You could bake a roast beef today, a day ahead, and slice it tomorrow and warm it in the gravy, durr. Brisket and roast beef tastes even better the next day. Or make the world's best lasagna or pies. Your parents are tired. Most your menu should please them. Go ahead and do 1 item that is just for you, if you need to do that. My own favorite item that is made just for me, is my cranberry chutney with five-spice, raspberry vinaigrette and bitter orange pith. No one has to like it but me, because it completes my ideal plate of dinner. Don't give a F for anyone else if they even have it. Same for my liver pate or smoked marlin dip and everything crackers. It's for me.

I can't stand picky eaters.
I was called a picky eater for my entire childhood because I didn't like to eat fucking boiled unseasoned vegetables, or bland mushy beans or some nasty ass slapped together casserole but after growing up I realized the same people who called me picky are even pickier then I ever was.

I can't even use pepper if I cook a dish for a family get together because 'its too spicy.'

Have you ever reached in the toilet and pulled out a turd and taken a big old bite? Why not? You will never know if you will like it till you actually do it.

Hilarious that the only way to get your point across is to compare food you don't want to try to poop. Embarrassing.
