My boomer mother in law. Rural origins. Just… Likes the garbage she gets there because she’s used to it. She actively dislikes fine foods with strong flavors. She would prefer to eat mushy overcooked pork chops in mushroom soup every night. Maybe a side of overcooked broccoli.
Brags about eating bowls of saltine crackers and milk.
I used to work with a lady that would refuse vegetables like a child. She had to be in her late 50s early 60s. She’d complain to me about health problems and then vehemently refuse any healthy alternative I’d put out there.
Interestingly enough, where I live, it’s McDonalds that has strong flavors. Not the most complex flavors or anything, but they at least put enough salt in their stuff that you can taste it. Plenty of fancier places make burgers that are better in every other aspect but sauce has little to no flavor compared to say, a Big Tasty. But of course the funny thing is, some of these places are now cheaper than McDonald’s…
Okay yeah, Indian food has strong flavor for sure.
It’s more local stuff here that is fairly weak flavor and in comparison, American-origin fast food has stronger flavor. We’re a meat and potatoes kind of people. Without too much flavoring, except we have ridiculously strong mustard that you put on your plate instead of it being used to flavor the meat beforehand.

That milk and crackers bit is so gross!

By strong flavor I mean Mediterranean or Indian food. She can’t tolerate it. Needs her KFC mashed potatoes and gravy.
