What about things like curry, spag bol, shepherds pie, chilli con carne?

This totally sounds like my ex! when we first met he only ate chicken n potatoes! Eventually he branched out (thanks to my insistance lol) but what we found worked were things like:

Plain chicken or beef curry served on a naan bread (no rice or veg there) which can be cooked at home or bought from a take away.
Steak with peppercorn sauce.
Crispy chilli beef (bought in asda and tesco) served on waffles.
Pizzas
Minted lamb steaks with yorkshire puds and roasts
I also used to stuff a chicken breast with cheese and pepperoni and cover in a cheese sauce served with italian cubed potatoes (thank you frankie and benny!)

Hope thats of a lil help

Oh, I really sympathise with your mum, I have had to cook for people like this too, not easy. If he lives with them then I would suggest that he cooks his own meals, its not like he has special dietary needs or is a veggie or vegan.

Personally if he was just there for one meal then I would make something he liked but if he is living there then 'tough t*tty mate, sort your own food out, its not a hotel'. Why should your mum be stressed out because a grown man does not like vegetables, he is happy enough to shove junk food and e-numbers in his gob, so for him I have no sympathy whatsoever.

Sorry if that sounds harsh but as had been said, he should be grateful someone is making him a home cooked meal.

Fish fingers and hash browns.
Beef soup and a crusty roll.
Macaroni cheese with lardons in the bottom of the dish

What's the matter with good old bangers and mash?He may even like some baked beans with that.
