I don't really enjoy Chinese food either. Maybe it's this:
"Chinese food is defined by a flavor principle of soy sauce, ginger, garlic and green onions" and methods including stir-frying and steaming, he said. "Once you get too far away from those rules, it is no longer Chinese."

It's the salt (from soy sauce) (bringing the conversations together) and the crunchy vegetables I just dislike. But I love non-spicy Indian, Thai, Vietnamese, and Japanese food. Indian food should be easy to get into-- it's got all these delicately spiced, creamy sauces. Love Indian.
Ah-hAA! I *hate* soy sauce and ginger!!

Hmm. As a disliker of salt and any vegetables whether they crunch or not, it hasn't really gotten in the way of me enjoying the cuisine. But I do like ginger. And garlic. And green onions. Like, a lot.

Yeah, but you have to start again from scratch on why you don't like Japanese.

Which makes it right up my alley. YUM.
I like salt. Way more than is reasonable. In fact, it's probably what I should give up for Lent, but I'm not crazy.
I also love ginger, garlic & green onions. If I could grow those three things, plus maybe onions, potatoes, oregano, and basil I'd be set.
I actually prefer the low-sodium soy sauce. But still, YUM.

Cause it's the same thing as Chinese! *w*

Liese, Lori too loves salt. She thinks it's something biological to Asians.

I love all of those flavors, except, I hate chinese food. For me if you left it at soy sauce, ginger, garlic and green onions without adding cornstarch to make a gravy, then we'd be good.
And, I love crunchy veggies. Well, if I have to have veggies, I'd prefer that they crunch.
I'm bon bon's food negative person.
I am Kat with a side of Lori when it comes to food.
