I can't stand Asian food!! Why???

Question

My family is constantly eating Asian food, and they want me to eat it with them, but I can't stand it! I'm stuck with PBJ!!

Look at my picture everyone! I AM ASIAN!!! That is the problem!

Kaye0302, I was exaggerating about the PBJ. Just giving an example. And no, my face is not oily. So chill, ok?

Answer 1

I can't stand it either. I wish I could be more 'open' to new things...but girl...give me my steak and potatoes or fried chicken! Ya know?

Answer 2

One PBJ sandwich probably has more calories than a simple Asian dish. And with all the peanut butter you eat, I wonder if your face is oily. hmm...

"I can't stand" is pretty harsh, don't you think. I mean, c'mon, you can easily say that you dislike Asian food, but do you really hate all Asian food?

If you think this way & for sometime, then, you're narrowing your mind & opportunities to try cuisine outside of your PBJ or whatever fast food you have in mind. PBJ does make a simple sandwich once in a while......if you have nothing else to eat. But your family is trying to open your eyes & broaden your horizon to sample the many aromatic flavours that Asian cuisines have to offer. I bet, if you try it, you probably would like it......rather than cringe at the thought of it.

That's food for thought........for you.

Answer 3

You cant stand asian food maybe because your mind never welcomes the idea of wanting to try other kind of food, our taste buds can always adapt to the different tastes, if asian food taste no good to you maybe you better start with food that has less spicy seasonings, i'm sure you will find lots of asian food that you will enjoy eating just keep on trying, food from different countries offers a new experience and its worth trying because most of them really taste good.

Answer 4

You're entitled to your own tastes! If you don't like peanut butter & jelly, I suggest you prepare yourself something else or buy a microwaveable ready-meal! Or, you could always re-heat leftovers from the previous day - if that wasn't Asian food too..! (I assume PBJ means peanut butter & jelly - if it doesn't, what IS it??)

But if you're young, it's possible that eventually you might change your mind - that's something you can do at ANY age..!

Answer 5

Could be the spices used do not agree with you. Lots of ginger and other herbs in Asian food. Garlic for example.

Answer 6

infact, asian food is quite imaginative, thanal those steaks and burgers, though i like steaks, brazilian meats and burgers too ! but for lunches and dinners, asian food is varied, you can choose from a number of items on the meny, or if home-made, you canmake some indian fod, like rice and curry, dal , vegetables, salads with yogurt, and use masalas as per your liking. use of curry leaves, garam masala etc. make the food good for health, as well as palate.
may be your family is gong to all substandard places, or don't know how to make the food, palatable. suggest, you only learn making indian dishes, login to keith floyd, for indian dishes.

Answer 7

Did you eat it a lot as a child? Maybe you are tired of it or do not like the spices used to prepare it. Try other spices in your food. Change it up to your own taste!!!

Answer 8

Keep trying Asian food until you find what you like.

Answer 9
