    I am white and was born in. Australia then moved to US and for the life of me I can’t eat bland European food. I was invited for dinner at friends place who is British and they served me chicken. I took the first bite and couldn’t eat more.

    To be polite, I said sorry I need to use the washroom, came back and said I am nor feeling well and want to go home. They were concerned but I dont think they suspected anything. I went my merry way and thanked them for the food.

      You should probably be careful not to generalise from a single example. There are people who can’t cook all over the world.

      I’m brown from a spice-heavy ethnicity and I love bland food. I must’ve been a medieval monk or something in a past life…

          Sometimes less is more. Melted butter on really good bread, or mashed potatoes with just a few ingredients where each can shine (e.g., freshly grated nutmeg).

          I also don’t tolerate spices well, so it works out.
