[quote=Anonymous]I dislike food gatekeepers. Some people act like if you don't like specific foods you are horribly provincial even if you generally eat lots of different kinds of foods. Like I know a guy who loves Korean food and always serves kimchi at his house (he is not Korean). I always decline it because kimchi just isn't for me -- I like a lot of pickled stuff and I like kimchi as an ingredient in lots of things because the concentrated flavor can be great. But I don't like it on it's own -- I get lots of people do and that it's served as a side dish on it's own in Korea but it's not for me. But every time I eat a meal with this guy (husband of a good family friend) he makes a huge deal out of the fact that I don't eat it like I'm super basic because there's this one food I don't eat. And on multiple occasions he's said things to me like "I mean pretty much all Korean people love kimchi but I guess you know better..." and I'm like I don't "know better" but I didn't grow up eating it and it's just never been my thing. Let it go. But because he's made his fondness for kimchi his entire personality he takes my dislike of it as a personal affront and will not stop bringing it up.[/quote]
