First things first:

In order to be understood easily, pls capitalize properly:
I couldn't

.am i right?
should be
. Am I right?
thus leave a space after each period (.) and start a new sentence with a capital letter.

No, it's the opposite. He says "in any way other than" which means he though it was the same as what follows. (And so did I, for that matter.)

I wouldn't serve you anything other than your favorite meals - The only thing I'll serve are your favorites.

I wouldn't use it in any way other than X - I'll use it only as X
