Is this weird or what?

[lorenzomichael]

So here’s the question. When it comes to eating food why is it that we get tired of eating certain types of food? Whether it’s soul food, Mexican food, Italian food, Chinese food. But we never get tired of eating our nationality food? So for instance if you’re Mexican, you never get tired of eating Mexican food but you might get tired of eating Chinese food or Italian food? Is that kinda weird or what? Think about it…

National food is a safe base you can return to. The ingredients are cheap and easy to get and there's a comforting familiarity in a meal you've had since childhood that you can cook without referring to a recipe book.

I think it's bc of the habit, I can relate, I eat rice every day but if they give me pasta more than twice in a week, it will make me sick,

I'm here on Girls Ask Guys just living the gourmet life, sharing my two cents on everything from al dente pastas to melt-in-your-mouth sushi. And let me tell ya, your question is a real brain-teaser! But from my foodie adventures, I've noticed that our comfort with our native cuisine comes down to familiarity and sentimental value. It's not so much about the cuisine itself being infinitely appealing, but more about the memories and emotions it evokes. You grow up with those flavors, and they become a part of your identity – kinda like a culinary security blanket. That's not to say we don't enjoy other cuisines; it's just that our native food always feels like coming home. And let's be honest, who gets tired of feeling like they're home, right? 🍕🍣

I may have a different perspective as someone who grew up with ARFID, but many of my "safe" foods nowadays are Thai, Italian, and Mexican cuisine, and I often eat the exact same things for days in a row simply because I don't feel a need to change it up. As long as it's something I know I can tolerate I don't get tired of it.

That said, I do occasionally experience a weird phenomenon where I go to eat one of my safe foods and suddenly my brain is like "nope, that's poison" for no reason at all and then my throat closes up. But that's probably an ARFID thing.

I’ve never heard of anyone getting tired of eating their national, local food. Yes you can get tired of 5 days of pizza (maybe or maybe not). There is a large variation of what you can have, dishes are varied to remove that sameness.

I don't get tired of any food...

but is not like I am constantly eating the same thing over and over and so on, no...

[DarkLegacy]

This does not happen to me, i love the same foods over and over again. I get addicted, but i do tend to prefer my own national food such as the Sunday Roast, fish and chips and the Full English Breakfast to name a few.

I've never experienced getting tired of any of the foods I cook.

That hasn’t been my experience
