[quote=Anonymous]Good question. I have no idea. I'm from a small midwestern city. I like all kinds of foods and cook food from various different cultures at home. But I have noticed that if I'm cooking a basic meal, I mean a meat, starch, and veg dinner, my food is blander than my east coast friends. I also like to make casseroles. I have to purposefully spice it up with a sauce or something if I'm having a DC friend over for dinner. I think maybe it's just that you cook like you learned growing up. Even in my midwestern hometown we have lots of immigrants and within a half hour drive, you can go to restaurants from all over the world. I'd venture to say that even among my friends back home who go out and eat more flavorful things, they still come home and cook casseroles or basic seasoned dishes. [/quote]
