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.
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...
What do you like about bland food? Lol
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.
🤣🤣
Why are you laughing? They explained politely their preference. You are being rude for no reason.
The Basque country (north Spain) is considered a place with really good food, a d we don't really use that much spices, food quality and good combinations are a hallmark of our cuisine.
Sure, you do you mate.
Well, this behaviour of yours explains much.
You should probably be careful not to generalise from a single example. There are people who can't cook all over the world.
