The answer

The Shariah obligates a wife to obey her husband regarding conjugal matters and their related issues. You are not sinful for disagreeing with your husband on this matter, but it is better not to express disagreement to maintain a good relationship. Lying is forbidden, but it is permissible for spouses to lie to each other for a benefit, and "Tawriyah" (equivocation) is better. Therefore, do not tell your husband the truth about this food, and if he asks you, use Tawriyah.
