Why would you even say that? Maybe he needs to be thankful that he has such a sweet, thoughtful wife who not only cooks for him but learned to cook the cuisine of his choice from the chef of his liking. Even our religion says that a woman is not compelled to cook for her husband. And no one should give names to food. He is lucky to have food on his table and a woman who cares to do that for him.
But don’t you think that saying that a,b,c things need to be improved is being picky and giving names to the food. My parents have taught us to never say “this is salty or bland or something”, just say “I would like more salt or pepper” because giving names to food comes back to you.
