[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Someone here thinks that older white Americans will love biryani, korma, plain roti?
I don't think so. They are not open-minded, just like older people in any country like to eat what they know.
I was at an Indian restaurant yesterday with 3 older white Americans. They looked at the chicken tikka masala as if it was gross.[/quote]

Agreed. I’m 30 and i love a wide variety of cuisines originating from all over the world. Even my mother (60) likes most things but she grew up and has lived in metro areas where she could try lots of different cuisines. My grandparents (88)? Nope. They like meat and potatoes. It’s what they are used to.

Also, while I like plain rice and rice dishes, I do not eat rice with dinner every night like some do. I don’t think that common, culturally, for white Americans. [/quote]

Meh. Won't worry about the older Americans. How many are  left anyways? With pandemic, health issues, old age? Give them whatever they can eat without GI distress for the days that they are still alive.  Don't worry about them.

In the 30 yrs I have been in USA, I have seen a huge change in how people eat. No one had even heard of cilantro back then and now all grocery stores carry it. Now people are making all kinds of Indian food and all Indian restaurants buffet lunch is just crowded with people devouring the tandoori chicken and fish jhalfrezi.

Well, some of us can certainly go without the nasty cilantro! No thanks![/quote]
