So, train them... or at least train your DH. It can be done. When I met my DH, he took his steak medium well and wouldn't touch spicy food. Why? His mother takes her steak medium well and won't touch spicy food, and when he was growing up, she made him eat the way she ate. She likes to say, "If it has any flavor, spit it out, it's bad for you."
Within a few years, I'd trained DH to eat medium rare steak and Indian curries hot enough to take paint off your car (the way I like 'em).
Anyway, back on topic: I am sure that the string bean fries, at least, will quietly disappear off the menu when no one orders them. Barf. At least they're not serving spaghetti on toast (a British dietary staple).
