When my husband and I were first dating, we were living in Korea. He ate all the food I made and talked about how good it was. I took him to my hometown of Guam where he met my family and ate the local food.

Now that we are in the U.S. he is starting to act like he isn't interested in the food I eat. He even told me he doesn't really like rice that much!!! How can he say that?? That is all I made when we were dating and he always ate it with a smile! LOL! I am thinking "Wow, this man really tricked me! I thought he loved Asian and Island food but I guess not!"

How are things with your spouse? Is there any food that you love that he does not like? My husband will still eat rice if I cook it. I just try not to cook it so much (even though in Guam we eat rice for breakfast lunch and dinner!) He loves potatos so I make that a lot for him and I buy little treats for myself. Like, pickled veggies, soy sauce, Ichiban, fish....He doesn't like any of that so I just buy a little bit and eat it by myself.

	by BraniOut on Jun. 11, 2008 at 9:33 PM My hubby is Chinese and I am white. LOL...Like your husband, I ate Chinese food when my DH and I were dating. I even ate things like 1,000 year eggs. But for some reason, now I just can't take Chinese food anymore. It think I got tired of it or something. LOL Anyway, DH makes his own Chinese food, and I eat my own food. DD eats whichever one appeals to her that day.
	by Bun-Bun on Jun. 11, 2008 at 9:42 PM i'm pretty lucky that my dh is not a picky eater and will eat just about anything. but he loves korean food (he's white, i'm korean), and will eat just about anything put in front of him. unfortunetly, i don't know how to cook korean food, so we only eat it when we're w/ my parents or if we go out to a korean restaurant. otherwise, it's meat and potatoes :-) (\__/) (='.'=) (")_(")
	by Kailenesmommy on Jun. 11, 2008 at 9:48 PM I'm Korean and hubby's Chinese. Its opposite for us. My hubby loves Korean food, no matter what it is. I just won't eat a lot of the Chinese food. Some of it is just really strange to me, plus its so greasy.
	by wifefirst on Jun. 14, 2008 at 2:15 AM I'm Hawaiian, Chinese, Japanese, English, and Irish. Hubby is white. He prefers potatoes to rice. He will not eat poi and isn't a big fan of raw fish. It's just something I'm used to.
	by sunshinejlr on Jun. 14, 2008 at 2:36 AM i'm half filipino and half irish. my boyfriend is as white as they come! his idea of ethnic food is teriyaki chicken from the japanese places in the food court at the mall or sweet and sour chicken from chinese takeout. sigh if i want to cook filipino food... i am cooking for one! i can't wait til aiden is old enough to eat table food... then i will have company!
	by HUMBOLDT707 on Jun. 14, 2008 at 7:04 AM My husband does really well with it... He actually loves it and will always give something a try. There are things that I eat that makes him stray but I can't blame him. Things like spicy pigs feet, dried squid, cuttlefish, and tripe all make his skin crawl but it's what I grew up with and love. He will however eat his weight in kimchi, kimbob and bulgogi. LOL
	by shoelaces on Jun. 14, 2008 at 9:49 AM Hi, Im a filipino and my hubby is an arab. He likes filipino food a lot specially my homecooks, if by chance i ask him..would u like me to cook arabic food for dinner? he goes; been eating that all my life..pls feed me with you own specialty. LOL! he goes crazy with my caldereta, kare-kare, Tinola, Bulalo even pakbet! So i didnt bother to perfect my arabic cuisine. NING shoelaces
	by tai.mama on Jun. 14, 2008 at 5:08 PM Haha... don't they all trick us when they're dating us? They'll eat anything with a smile. lol ;o) My dh is always interested in trying chinese/taiwanese food (and japanese.. I like a lot of japanese stuff after living in Japan). But he's not that interested in eating it on a regular basis. About the only things he actually loves are cha siu bao (chinese bbq pork buns) and bok choy (veggies)..

My mom couldn't even get me to eat them! hehe.
	by kimshi on Jun. 19, 2008 at 1:39 AM I'm Korean & DH is caucasian. I don't know how to cook Korean food, so we usually eat American foods. I like my food spicier than he does. I only make sticky rice & he doesn't mind. He likes Asian food as long as it isn't spicy or sushi. We used to go to Korean restaurants when we lived in Atlanta, but where we live now, there aren't any...just Americanized Chinese restaurants. Yuck!
