simplybrill Posted July 20, 2005 Posted July 20, 2005 Is it possible to be "Set in your ways" at a young age? My hunny and I are from two different ethnic backgrounds, (he's white, I'm a mixed south-american latina) and Ive yet to take him to a resturant that doesnt serve chicken strips, for fear that he'd hate it! He likes mexian food...but that's not the same as what my mom makes at home, we're not mexian, we're mixed, so her food tastes like a mix of indian and puerto-rican food. It's great!!! He's from the midwest, and grew up on very, um...I guess you would call it "American" food. He doesnt like seafood, or eating anything off of a bone, among other little quirks he has about food. He doesnt really like Italian food, but he likes the Olive Garden, which is pretty much americanized Italian food. I thought okay...well if he likes Italian he might be open to some Latin cuisine? We went to an authentic Italian place for Valentines Day, and havent been back there since?? Oh yeah and he likes chinese food, big surprise there, everyone likes chinese food. I eat everything, it doesnt matter what culture its from, and I'm always willing to try new things. This guy's in love with his mama's home cooking. I tried her "Spanish Rice"...it had tomato soup in it ya'll. We're getting more serious, and I can't help but think...will he ever get out of his box, and try new things? Will he expect me to cook just like his mama? Anyone had this kind of funny delimma?
UltimateZen Posted July 21, 2005 Posted July 21, 2005 DOESN'T LIKE ITALIAN FOOD????? Being Italian, well I find that insulting. Italian food is so good! I hate Olive Garden because that is not true Italian so I agree with your b/f there Anyway, I had a friend whose brother only ate peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, turkey sandwiches, etc. This guy was like that Subway guy Jarrod. To this day (he is 22 right now) he only eats sandwhiches. Mind you, I consider him a freak....I mean who can only eat bland, standard sandwiches??? The guy doesn't even have meatball sandwiches!!! Just sandwich, doritos, and a coke. Just thinking about it bothers me. Just my 2cents worth. Good luck. Try spiking his food with ethnic food!
