If you can't eat properly on £25 a week, you probably deserve flogging!

So, regarding the depression issue, is there a link between bum-sex, poor diet and depression?

£25 per week? Do you have a market nearby? They're great for veggies/fruits.
And does he like fish? You can buy budget salmon (4 chunks) from tescos for like a fiver and that's two dinners.
River Cobbler is another. £2 for 2. If cooking that in shallots, garlic, tomato and spring onion is too risky, You can always breadcrumb the damn things in Japanese breadcrumbs and deep-fry. Serve with terayaki sauce and that's lush.
Personally, I couldn't go out with fussy eaters or people who can't eat meat. Life's too short not to experiment. Too many cultures/traditions.

Oooops, my bad!
sim667: only when i'm doing the cooking!
You can get 2 whole chickens for a fiver in Iceland, and get some cheap veg and potatoes to go with.
That's at least two nights worth of meals plus some sandwiches for lunch. Afterwards boil up the carcasses and chuck in any left over veg for soup/stew which should see you through another couple of days.
And yes, spend the rest of the week speeding off yer tits or sleeping.

My boyfriend hates the same foods i do for the most part.
I don't feed him anyway, he feeds himself.

I really hate this thread title, why should a bf be so fussy and unable to cook at all? Dunno if i could live with someone like that.

We spend about £25 a week on food and have some lovely meals, but they wouldn't suit your partner's taste at all as they involve a lot of things like veg/potato curry, pasta & sauce, soups and vegetable or fish stews etc, all made from scratch, mostly vegetarian with the occasional fish or seafood meal. We can't afford to be too fussy right now, and £1.20 on fish fingers would be wasted money - I could do a curry lasting for 3 days with that money (apart from the spices which I already have in the cupboard) - a few spuds, an onion or two, a few chillies and some tomatoes or a tin of tomatoes. Our blow-out meal this week was a fish pie which cost about £5 to make and lasted for 2 mealtimes for 2 people.
I think often there is a gap between what people would like to have and what in reality they can afford - most of us experience that. But your partner needs to come to terms with the fact that his income can't finance a roast dinner with all the trimmings or whatever else takes his fancy every night. He has to realise that isn't going to happen, however great your or his cooking skills are - and broaden his tastes and his mind to fully appreciate the huge range of options that are available on a lower budget.
I have to say though that I really enjoy cooking, and I especially enjoy cooking for my partner (he works long hours and I work part time with periods of not working, so I do all the cooking, I like doing it so it's not even a chore to me) - if he didn't appreciate and enjoy my cooking, I don't think we'd have stayed together! There was loads of stuff he didn't like (rice dishes were his particular bugbear) when we first got together that he now appreciates, because that's what I like to eat, so sometimes I cook it, that's what is on the plate, so he eats it, and finds he enjoys it. We rarely eat ready meals or processed food, only occasionally when he's done a double shift and got home really late and I'm suffering from fatigue, in which case we break out an emergency frozen pizza. Other than that everything is cooked from scratch.
