Referring to the last paragraph, whats your take on the kind of influence others have had on your hubby's food habits?

[manogat]

A couple of things:
1. Although he appreciates tasty food, but I don't think he gives any more importance to food than the function it performs and mostly categorizes it as eatable and un-eatable.
2. Since he has grown up in different parts of the country, he has got exposed to many different cuisines in his formative years and there is little that he holds as "My way of eating or my food". If there is nothing as "my food" for him, there is nothing as "others food" either.

So you seem to indicate that growing up in various parts of country and getting exposed multiple cuisines make you more tolerant to all kinds of food.

Yeah, I do believe that the more one is exposed to different cultures during one's formative years, the more tolerant the person grows up to be.

May be we don't get tired of talking to each other...Not yet :-)
BTW, how did you like the post? I thought it was an interesting write up. Don't you agree that food forms an important dimension of culture and food habits an interesting insight into the psyche of people?
