Okay, you said controversial...
The vast majority of Americans have the palate of a four-year-old. But it seems like most people on this thread have educated palates. š |

I am going to agree with you. But, I will say that goes for most people in most countries where they don't travel much. I think pretty much all of Europe is the same. I am an immigrant and FIL thinks German sausage is the height of diverse cuisine! Other than that, older he gets, more boring his food gets. Pot roasts, turkey roasts, spaghetti and philli cheese sandwiches are his weekly rotation. He only likes cookies and cakes that are very American, chocolate chip cookies and chocolate cake. He even complains that when he goes on a cruise(not now clearly) cakes and sweets are not sweet enough bcs they cater to those damned Brits and Europeans. SIL's and BIL's families like only typical American food, meat and potatoes and lunch meats. SIL thought she was extremely sophisticated in her youth when she would dip bread in olive oil. They are all highly educated people though, but live in Indiana and CO, so I don't know if that makes a difference? I trained DH as best as I could, and he adores veggie curries and most other foods. I think it might have to do with exposure. My dad, back home, also liked the food he liked, though it was a ton of salads and veggies and soups, but Italian food was not food to him. Caggabe and green beans and peas and similar were. I think we can probably say that most people that are not exposed to many cuisines like what they are used to and grew up with. |

Combining them in a dish is bad for you, like a fish or lobster sandwich with cheese. Drinking a milkshake, right after eating seafood as examples. Eating them individually and spaced apart isnāt bad for you. |

| Vegetarians pescatarians etc are overly proud of themselves and tend to be overbearing and overly focused on food. |

I don't disagree with you but I will say that it's not much different elsewhere. People usually eat the food from where they're from. And actually, when I was living in Spain there was none of this "what should we have for dinner tonight - Italian or Japanese or Chinese or French?" They go to the local bistro and eat Spanish food most of the time. |
