Either I ate what they were preparing, or I didn’t eat that meal.

My mother tried that with me. Unfortunately for her, I inherited her stubbornness, so I was willing to just not eat and/or be punished.

Eventually she caved and changed the rule from "Eat what I make or don't eat" to "Eat what I make or make something your damn self", which I found much more agreeable.

Oh hey, it's me

My mom wasn't as stubborn though, she caved to "Fine, make it yourself" pretty early, and then I ended up being a decent cook. I attribute the fact that I took Home Ec (particularly cooking) to the fact that I was picky, and was allowed to be so
