'You married a Chinese guy and you can't figure out a single Chinese dish that you can eat?': 23-year-old wife refuses to eat any of mother-in-law's cooking, plans to blow off family dinner entirely

Everyone has a picky eater in their life. Maybe you had a lot more of them when you were a kid, but some picky eaters hold strong throughout adulthood. For whatever reason, they just have a limited array of the kinds of food they will eat. They stick to what they know and exclude the rest. This behavior is common, and it doesn't have to be an issue. As long as the picky eater does their best to try not to make it anyone else's problem, that's all you can ask for.

There are measures you might have to take as a picky eater to ensure that you don't ruin any relationships. Eat a meal at home before going to a risky eating situation. Let your hosts know ahead of time how they can best accommodate you. And most of all, don't make anyone else suffer for your choices. It's not their fault that you don't like what they cooked, and you should never make them feel like it is. But not all picky eaters understand that. Some of them wreak havoc everywhere they go.
