As someone who&#x27;s married into a different &quot;ethnic&quot; family, the palate difference (at least for us) is incredibly wide on both sides.  I can&#x27;t really stomach most authentic Chinese food, and especially can&#x27;t deal with the flavor and texture of the desserts.<p>Likewise, my wife&#x27;s family can&#x27;t handle traditional midwestern dishes, nor traditional soul food well at all.<p>That&#x27;s just been my experience of course, so I&#x27;m not claiming it&#x27;s indicative, but it&#x27;s actually the hardest part of our marriage (which, is a good thing, I think).
