He dishes up, you say thank you. Its as if you’re thanking him for the meal.
Fool him and dish up. He might slip up and say thank you.

Hello all, hope you are well.
Now, yes, I know I'm lucky to have Mr P to do the shopping, despite the rather "random" substitutions 
BUT I'm getting pretty damn miffed!
I thank him for doing the shopping, even with the substitutions, if he dishes up, I thank him for doing so. On the very rare occasions he prepared food (cheese and onion sandwiches at lunchtime only thing so far, and only because he was making one for himself and I suppose felt obliged to ask me if I wanted one, as I was in the same room!) I thank him.
However, I have been cooking my bosoms (small though they are) off, going all "Domestic Goddess" with the home made soup, pies, etc and haven't received a single "Thank you" 
I sometimes say "How is it?" Or " Is it ok? " just get "fine" or a sort of grunt!
When we have finished, he will usually rinse and stack the dishes (we don't have a dishwasher 
) and then toddle off into the sitting room!
Feeling somewhat taken for granted!

Lucca was actually asking Hithere if she/he was taking it too seriously, have a quick read back and I'm sure you'll get what was meant! 
TBH so is mine Doodle
and I'm holding on to him very tightly

My OH does thank me for meals, drinks, etc. He occasionally makes a drink for both of us. The things he doesn't do are of course many and varied but 'thanks' he does quite well. Grateful for small mercies, me

If I don't get a Thank You from DH (I usually do) I ask, in an exaggerated Fred Dibnah voice, 'Did tha like that?'
Sounds like he’s a long term project, then, Phoenix. Or like I said, you could keeel him and start afresh.
