I don’t have much personal experience with the 80s, but I have an idea of what you’re talking about. It seems less like you’re not very adventurous and more like fairly limited. Does Greek or Mexican go too far for you?
Oh I am extremely adventurous when it comes to traveling and trying other things (such as new jobs, career studies, degrees, etc) but no, when it comes to food, I am most certainly a creature of habit and like what I know and want it to stay that way. I have tasted ethnic stuff, but it's not something I enjoy...I just don't like too many spices as so many ethnic foods have or strong smells. If you can give me a chicken pot pie, I'm happy enough.

Greek and Mexican? Yeah, not a fan. I'm an American and I eat classical American foods, the sort you would get in most restaurants up until the 80s.

Did you know that in many parts of America finding anything "garlicky" was considered an extreme rarity and totally off-putting to most American palates? In fact, garlic was considered only for extremely adventurous people into exotic tastes. Same thing with Olive Oil. Before the oil craze, we used to use lard. Then starting some time in the late 80s/90s, things got way more exotic and now they are mainstream.

To be fair, there are some very picky eaters out there. I have a friend who won’t eat anything that’s white. No onions (not even red onions since they’re white-ish between the layers), no yogurt, no sour cream, no cream sauces in general, no vanilla ice cream. However, loves pizza despite the goopy white cheese. People are like that sometimes.

I'm quite vanilla across the board...although I do tan quite well (not into that though, too superficial).

My beliefs? Hmm, I guess so. I don't want to derail this thread but since you ask, I was raised in a very vanilla Protestant setting, but I am an atheist now, so I guess that is not quite "vanilla".

But yes, as I said above, even "Mexican and Greek" food is kind of out there for me.

We love going out to try new restaurants here or abroad and then trying to replicate dishes at home. We actually have deep-seated fears that we’ll somehow end up with a kid that’s that picky.

I don't know when last I've been 2 Chinatown. After all the times I got followed around in stores I was like no, not coming back.

Well, can't speak for all Atheists, but I'm creative enough to invoke more realistic things...
