lol

just go to some of the area's best korean restaurants and look for the guy sobbing "I wish I had some cream and oregano!"

lol

The cream and oregano poster.

Not only a low IQ dimwit with zero reading comprehension, but a psychopath to boot.

Look, I like Korean food, don't get me wrong, but I just do not want to have it for the 1000th time in a row. Yes, I have utter contempt for my wife who gets to have 99% of the control over what goes into our mouths and what I get to eat for dinner. Maybe once in a while I want pizza? Maybe every so often I want something as simple as a damn burger? I love Middle Eastern, Turkish, Greek, etc. types of foods, but because she doesn't like it we are forced to never eating it. Meanwhile I let her have Korean 100% of the time whenever she wants even though it is probably ranked 15th on my list for most favorite types of cuisines.


I am getting sick of it to the point I am considering a divorce. Am I crazy? The controlling freak nature she has over my dietary choices has gotten intolerable. Maybe I want more food diversity in my life besides Asian food. I want to punch a hole through a wall I am so angry over this issue.

Is she Korean? this happened to me when I dated a guy who is Korean. I don't think he realized it but, every time we went out we got some type of Asian food.

ha, I was in Korea last month. Agreed. The food there was great, and no, we didn't just have Korean food. And super cheap. Bonus: no tipping.

It was a downer coming back here.

Well you don't have to tip but,you will be considered very cheap. If you are ok with that than what do you care what people think?

It’s a troll or a mentally ill person… the giveaway was when he said he wanted diverse food like cream and oregano.

You're a dimwit. You tried to claim Korean food is diverse. It's not diverse on a global comparison. Examples of Korean food not being diverse were pointed out to you - traditional Korean cuisine doesn't use many ingredients that exist on the planet and are used by other cuisine like creams, cheeses, herbs (oregano, rosemary, thyme just to make a few), tropical fruits, . Korean food rarely uses other cooking techniques like roasting, sous, vide, roux, etc.

Your stupid claim would be akin to stating French food is diverse. Or Italian food is diverse. No they're not. No single cuisine alone is diverse.

Korean food is developed for harsh climates. It's flavor profile is constantly that of pickled. Everything is often cooked using a wok, hot pot, or grilled. It's good, I don't hate it. But maybe people want more diversity in their life than some cuisine developed on a small peninsula n East Asia? You can take the kimchi and shove it where the sun don't shine.

Besides, Thai food is far more diverse than Korean. I'd rather that anyway.

Thai food is no more diverse than Korean food.

I love both, FWIW. I had been searching for a good Thai restaurant in the area for years after we moved here from CA.

All foods evolve, including Korean food. They put cheese on different dishes today, and that is not traditional. A lot of ethnic foods now do fusion. Someone mentioned taco + Korean.

I agree with a different PP that you just need to put your big boy pants on and tell her you want to compromise. If she whines, let her. Just get take out and put headphones on (as someone suggested). More than likely, she will eventually give in.

To divorce over this seems really stupid, but your inability to handle this is stupid.

If you want pizza before Korean you're a malfunctioning human. Also, same if you think the OP said he eats Korean seven days a week. Don't ever say you want your pizza unless you are six and are at a bowling alley birthday party.

it's ok, some people have immature taste buds, like little children.

Uh oh, look out everyone, we have the world's greatest taste bud God here. She is the ultimate gatekeeper in telling YOU what is or isn't good eats. You happen to want pizza open day rather than Korean!!!?? How could you you low class inferior child?

The queen has arrived to tell you what you should eat.

It must be the wife posting, lolololol.

He is not saying Korean food is not part of a diverse spectrum.

I mean, he's clearly dealing with some mental health issues, it's not really about the diversity of Korean food or whether Korean food includes enough cream and oregano.

Anyway, it's almost certainly a troll and I haven't laughed so hard at one in a long time.

DH and I usually go back and forth and it takes us forever to decide what to order when we get takeout or go out. I would eat Asian food pretty much every time, though not always the same kind! But he likes pizza and burgers and BBQ. We can always find something we both agree on.

I’m in tears, laughing, at the idea of a tiny guy with a bad mustache riding around Nova in the backseat while his wife drives, sobbing because he HAS to eat the world’s favorite cuisine- AGAIN!

In no way is Korean food the world's favorite cuisine. Where on earth did you get that idea? It's not even the most popular Asian food--I would say Thai or Chinese claims that spot.

Imagine being so stupid and claiming Korean food alone 'is diverse'. Oh yeah, where are those tacos in Korean food that could eat a Mexican craving. Where do Koreans ever use things like tomatillo or something like chocolate in their cuisine or have anything remotely close to a feojada or use yucca in their traditional cooking? That poster is delusional in thinking any kind of single cuisine alone can be diverse when you are talking about diversity on a global culinary scale.

troll went too far here... korean tacos are, of course, a favorite of most people.
