I think it would be interesting to see just how many people DONT like foods that supposedly were introduced thru their culture.Jaime Greennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1187433608406453993.post-90978303530319766762011-10-25T11:14:40.636-04:002011-10-25T11:14:40.636-04:00Omg, finally someone who sees where I'm commin...Omg, finally someone who sees where I'm comming from with this. Some people would even question you being this or that race just because you don't like everything that they like or assume that is what everyone in their race like. I tell people I don't eat egg rolls and people not only in my race, but others give me this face of bizarre or disbelief because I'm different in a little way.Jennifer Keonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1187433608406453993.post-59273491173747770682011-10-21T15:13:13.332-04:002011-10-21T15:13:13.332-04:00This blog is hilarious!

But girl let me tell you, yes i am black (im actually of mixed race: german, native american and african american) but I absolutely HATE spaghetti, lasagna and pizza!!! I think it has more to do with the tomato sauce but the thought of me eating any of those things makes me cringe, face frowned-up and all!! As a child I have memories of my aunts (my mom already knew i didnt like it) forcing me to eat it not understanding how a child didnt like it, almost like I was abnormal or something.<br />I had a friend of mine say to me once, why do u eat cheese steaks, cheeseburgers or chicken wings plain?? My response was contrary to popular belief every black person does not like salt, pepper, ketchup, hot sauce on their food and heck no I dont drink Welch's grape sodas either!! His was reply was: o yes they do!!!!!!! LOL<br />Yes people do assume that certain foods in their culture should and are enjoyed by all in that culture but as you pointed out, its simply not true.Jaime Greennoreply@blogger.com
