[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why can't she have asian food at family dinners?  Why can't you eat it?[/quote]

NP. Because I do not change my entire eating habits for my AP. We do ask our AP about food and we discuss what we typically eat during the matching process. While I do accommodate certain food preferences (such as not eating mushrooms, etc.), I do not out of sudden learn how to cook Asian food. [/quote]

[b]So, you will not change your entire eating habits but you expect her to?  Nice[/b].[/quote]

No way would I change my eating habits.  Not even in the realm of possibilities.  Will we have fun and try things with AP from their homeland?  Sure.

I would rematch in a heartbeat if an AP wanted me to cook their food for them; they are coming here to live in America and I am hosting them to provide them a safe, fun experience and learn a bit about them.  Not recreate their country of origin in America.

I seriously doubt you have hosted an AP or even have a clue about the program.[/quote]

It doesn't sound like the AP is demanding the host cook her food.  It sounds like the host is demanding she eat what is served regardless of preference/taste.  Maybe host is  horrible cook.  Host is demanding she eat with them multiple nights a week.  AP is cooking her own food and that is not good enough for host.  When I have someone in our house we take into account preferences and will cook based off those preferences.  But, then again, we eat a lot of Asian food so that would be great for us. You both need to be flexible.[/quote]
