Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
It's the salt (from soy sauce) (bringing the conversations together) and the crunchy vegetables I just dislike
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.
Ah-hAA! I *hate* soy sauce and ginger!!
Yeah, but you have to start again from scratch on why you don't like Japanese.
Chinese food is defined by a flavor principle of soy sauce, ginger, garlic and green onions" and methods including stir-frying and steaming
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.
"Chinese food is defined by a flavor principle of soy sauce, ginger, garlic and green onions"
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.
I love Thai and Chinese and Indian food. I don't much like ginger, but I find I can avoid ginger-heavy foods in those cuisines. Japanese, I dislike. The whole miso undertaste gives me the mouth creeps.
Love Indian. Like a lot of Chinese and Thai. Like some Korean. Hate Japanese food. I hate seafood, so that's a bit limiting with Japanese. I've had tempura, but I don't dig it that much.
Food texture issues are just weird. My brain literally can't conceive of something being both desirably delicious and tactile-ly displeasing. The only foods I've ever had texture issues with were foods I hated the taste of, and I'll happily eat other stuff with the same texture as long as my tongue says it's tasty. Sometimes I feel like my tongue is stupid, or coarse and unrefined, and if it were more refined and sophisticated it'd reject a lot more.
