[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Long story short…DH and I are visiting his side of the family in the Midwest and he told them I was going to cook ‘something Asian’. I’m Asian and the dishes I cook I know aren’t going to go down well for the wife who is averse to anything spicy and lives on soda and fast food. I have never seen her eat anything that wasn’t a French fry or a fish stick and she doesn’t eat vegetables either so I am leaning towards just making a chicken teriyaki but was hoping DCUM would have some ideas?[/quote]

Rudeness is your problem more than cooking. [/quote]

Sorry, but can you explain what was rude in the OP? How is observing that someone doesn’t eat vegetables rude?[/quote]
Calling them “white bread Midwesterners” maybe? [/quote]
+1 and, if you can't see how
"Lives on soda and fast food. I have never seen her eat anything that wasn’t a French fry or a fish stick" isn't rude, I don't know what to say. [/quote]
What if it’s the truth?[/quote]

The truth doesn’t have to be rude or dripping with contempt.

“They aren’t very adventurous eaters, and most of their meals are fried, frozen, or processed foods.”

Is accurate without the ugliness and hyperbole. [/quote]

It's not much better.  Maybe just try "they haven't had a lot of (insert your country's food here) and don't like a lot of spice."[/quote]
