In general, if you weren't brought up with food diversity, you'll probably cling to what you like and makes you feel comfortable. Same goes for Americans who visit China, give them a week and they'll be dying for some McDonalds. A friend of mine went there for international school and he mailed ordered frozen hot dogs and breakfast cereal because he just couldn't survive on chinese food. Bring any American to China and try introducing them to congee & noodles for lunch, I'm sure they'll freak out too. Same goes for Indians/Pakistanis... I had to oversee our outsourcing team that was visiting the States and most of them simply refused eating American food even when I suggested vegetarian places. They ended up eating at the same indian restaurant for 3 weeks straight.
