  • I hate people who don't like to try new or culturally different food. It really tells me a lot about who they are and I lose respect for them.

      • So you're telling OP she is rigid in HER thinking by calling her "retarded?" Who is close-minded in the thinking dpt. now? My retarded child is perfectly happy to try new foods. I would not be perfectly happy to meet either of you.

    • OK. Because someone might be a wonderfully caring friend who constantly goes out of her way to help other people, and a lovely, intelligent, person who is fun to be around, but you know, if she's a picky eater, it's just appalling and you really should "hate" her and get her out of your life as soon as possible.

      • ITA. i have an awful stomach issues and have to be very careful with certain spicy, ethnic foods, especially when dining out and i generally avoid trying anything new when in public. hopefully no one is jumping to this unfair conclusion about me.

    • If you re-wrote your post to be something like: "I often discover that I don't appreciate people who are always unwilling to try new foods," then I might agree with you. But I don't always feel like trying something new- sometimes I want something tried and true.

    • Fine, might sound judgemental but I'm coming from a point of view of someone who is not American and when I offer food from my country of origin, I find that there are two different responses. Those who eagerly try and the ones who make a face and decline (or reluctantly take a teeny tiny bit). I've seen this enough all my life and have made my own very unscientific conclusion about these types of people and I'm usually right in my own very personal judgement.

      • curious--what culture food? i'm super open, and trying new food from different cultures is wonderful. i can't think of a single cuisine i haven't tried!

      • You are correct that people who make a face or are reluctant are likely not especially adventurous people in general and may not rush into trying new things. If that's what you value, great. To me, that's way down the list -- after being a very kind and considerate person and someone with whom I'm able to have an intelligent conversation and who is generally happy and fun to be around.

      • Now I would agree with you. I really enjoy when someone is adventurous or open-minded to things outside their comfort zone, and I find those who aren't to be dull, and often sheltered, but that's just my preference in friends.

    • I don't like to travel internationally or dine at nice restaurants with these people, and maybe don't do teh fancy dinenr parties with them as a guest, but hate is kind of a strong word-

      • OP here: yes, hate was a strong word. I just had an experience from the night before that had me a bit incensed and confirming strongly what I feel about people unwilling to try new food. I find this person incredibly boring and closed minded to begin with so no loss I guess...

    • my brother is like this. he thinks panda express is "too fancy" and only eats kfc, burger king, and mcdonalds. i've never seen him eat a fruit. he's not fat at all either, he's 6 ft and 140 lbs. he always orders plain cheese pizza, plain vanilla ice cream, etc. i get so bored just looking at it!! it matches with his personality too, he's a very loyal friend, nice guy, but doesn't like to travel, meet new people. He has all the same friends since childhood and does the exact same thing everyday. I have met a few people like this, and the funny thing is whenever i ask "is your fave ice cream vanilla" they are so shocked, like i am a clairvoyant or something. Anyway, I would go nuts if my spouse was 'boring' like this, seriously i can't stand eating the same food everyday, having plain everything, not travelling, etc. But I can't hate on my bro because his "type" are usually the reliable, loyal friends.

    • Well first of all hate is a strong word. Why would you dislike someone because they don't want to try new food, seems odd. Since you are so ethnically superior then go to Japan and try their squid ice cream. That's right, they have it and the people LOVE it.

    • The fact that you generalize about and hate people based on their food choices tells me a lot about who you are.
