[QUOTE="Merkuri, post: 4631635, member: 41321"] Huh, maybe that's why I like Asian food so much. It's one of the few cuisines I can partake in freely without ever having to worry about whether there's milk in what I'm eating. I think crab rangoon is the only thing I've ever had to stay away from, and I get the idea that that's a very Americanized food. Personally, I have a rule that I'll eat anything once as long as somebody else eats it first. (That last part is an escape clause so my smart-mouthed friends *coughAwayfarercough* can't say "eat some of this dirt, then!") Last summer my boyfriend and I went to go visit my sister in California. She lives near San Francisco, and was extremely excited to bring us to all of the restaurants out there. My parents had visited her a few months earlier and weren't very receptive to all of the strange cuisines she wanted to try on them. She had called me up a week or two before we were heading over there and asked me what kind of food we were willing to try. "Thai?" "Sure!" "Korean?" "Sure!" "Ethiopian?" "Sure!" When she had gone through about half of her list and I'd responded positively to all of them she said, "Oh, you make me so happy!" [/QUOTE]
