    Japanese and German... Both sides hate me, I am considered an abomination and none of them ever let me forget that when I was growing up.

    That is incredibly sad. One of my grandmothers is from Japan, and moved to California with my grandfather after WWII. I haven't met most of her family (can't afford to go to Japan), but they have always been very good to my mom and her brothers and sisters... but I know that isn't always typical. I love being of mixed heritage, I think it has allowed me to see things from a more global point-of-view.

    :frown: I would imagine that was difficult to comprehend as a child - I'm sorry to hear that you had to go through that. Both of those cultures have interesting food, though.

    I've only been to Japan once, but now I am mildly obsessed w/ those interesting hybrid foods you see in there like the pizza w/ corn and seaweed as toppings or those rice omelettes. Spaghetti sandwich! Talk about carbo loading!

    My mother is Korean and I was born there. My father was German/English and Spanish. I love Korean foods- always have it in my house but I limit it due to my current lifestyle changes ( agreed- it's the sodium). My fathers side comes from TN- very home made country southern cooking. I know how to cook some things from memory. My favorite from my childhood would be biscuits and gravy :)

    Armenian/German/English/Dutch. I love me some garlic and am generally a foodie....all definitely from my Armenian side. Hence, I am on MFP. I also have a Kim K-esque butt, without her tiny waistline :)

    I was born in Italy and moved to the States with my parents and 2 older brothers when I was 6. The rest of my family is there. We always eat 2 courses, the first of which is pasta. The second course is some kind of meat and a vegetable.

    Irish. Love potatoes and booze. Grandparents were farmers from northern Mo., which explains my love of comfort foods that cook all day, like ham and northern beans, served with un-sweetend corn bread. I've developed a passion for authentic mexican food, which i usually have at lunch M-F. Is it wrong to be Irish and love Scotch? And Bourbon?:drinker:

    I'm Native/Spanish American. My ancestors come mostly from Spain, but on my fathers side I have Indian blood (Apache and Navajo).
    I was born and raised in the USA though.
    I love fry bread and mexican food. I was raised eating much of this.

    Half Japanese (Mom) and Half mostly Irish (Dad). When we eat with my mom's family it tends to be teriyaki marinade for everything and to top it off most of my family is diabetic! I totally don't think it's weird to eat rice with everything I think it's normal, finacially smart, and fulfilling. I just started eating this type of brown rice that is slightly processed so it tastes and cooks more like white rice but its healthier, though not as healthy as real brown rice. I also love that sushi, though I suck at making it and therefore have to buy it when I get those cravings. I don't really know that many Irish dishes... my dad tried to get me to eat some weird meat pie thing when I was young but it was not to my tasting (aka it was gross!)

    I'm a food lover... that's why I'm on this site tracking my food... but I really love mexican food... mmmm... I could eat mexican food five times a week. The only type of food I really don't care for is Italian, I know I'm weird but I really don't care for pasta and never had, plus for some reason after eating pasta I get really bad heart burn which does not add to my enjoyment.
