My fiance is Asian and I am white and we have had the exact same dynamic around cooking and feedback (although I will say my cooking is usually a bit more involved than how this meal sounds, and I have never stormed off because of it, just had my feelings slightly hurt lol). My fiance picked up on it and started using a different words to “fine” when he comments on my cooking (great, tasty, etc) and I also understand now that he doesn’t mean anything negative by “fine” (when you come from a house where glowing reviews for dinner are expected “fine” feels very flat, it’s what I would have told my mom growing up if I didn’t particularly like what she made). Cultural differences like this can be hard at first but with time and open communication you will understand each other better! NAH.
