Probably stereotypical, but I find well done steaks to be a total waste.

I rarely cook steak, but when I do I go to a butcher and get something quality and fresh. Normally I don't care how other people enjoy their food, but when I take the effort to get quality steak and someone at a family get together asks me to cook until the steak is grey in the center it just deflates me. Logically I know that if everyone is happy with their food it doesn't matter, but personally having to mangle a steak so it has the taste of ground beef just goes against every cooking instinct I have.

I've learned that when certain people are coming to a holiday cookout to just cook burgers or BBQ instead. Everyone is just as happy with what they get.

I consider myself openminded and tolerant.

I once heard a fellow say he was from Minnesota and he thought ketchup was too spicy.

Outwardly I stayed calm but in my heart I wanted to burn the heretic.

I fairly recently moved to Minnesota and I love very spicy foods. I just have to accept the fact that everything people here tell me is spicy is going to be very tame. People that get to know me have started saying "really spicy... for Minnesota" lmao

Do they have black pepper on the tables?

Generally yes, that's peak Minnesota spiciness I suspect.
