[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you should go over the top and cook them something VERY authentic from your home country with spices and vegetables that you know they'll never touch. They'll have a bit of cultural exposure, and you will never be asked to cook for them again.  Win win.  Just make sure DH has the nearest pizza place on speed dial.[/quote]

:roll:

Or she could just behave like a normal person and try to cook a dish her in-laws might enjoy, in their home where they are hosting her.[/quote]

I’m also Asian and family visits, like what OP describes, are very hard for me too. I don’t think OP would as willing to cook if she was in SF or NYC, but in less diverse areas with only chain restaurants and fast food joints, it’s tough to tolerate being surrounded by processed foods day in, day out, and everything offered is beige. Maybe she enjoys cooking at home and her husband sees this as a compromise. [/quote]

PP here. Okay. But the suggestion to essentially punish their hosts for being white Midwesterners is childish and stupid. What grown woman thinks it’s really clever to serve her *hosts* something she knows they will hate? OP never mentioned them being bad people, they just like bland food.[/quote]
