Just being nosey........ Does anyone here live in a multi-racial household, with the partners being from different racial, ethnic and/or cultural backgrounds??
I, for example, married and Mexican/American and I am British!! Hows that for a crazy combo??? In our house eye cook shepherds pie or roast beef and Yorkshire pudding one day and then Enchiladas the next day or some other Mexican cuisine!! Ours is the only place where u can have tacos and a cup of tea!!LOL I am deeply interested in anything Mexican, American Indian or Mayan and Aztec Indian!! | |

I know you're gonna think I must have been kept in a closet
and I really did stay home a lot listening to music while my sisters went lots of places. But here goes. I am a city girl (Dallas). My hubby is a country guy (deep country). I was so inner city that I was shocked to learn that the food we ate actually came up from the ground...oh I had read about vegetation and all, but they never said it was food...lol. Then to find out that stuff like luncheon meat and bacon came from the sides of a barnyard animal (a hog..ugh!), I was amazed! Then to find out that the eggs we ate came from a chicken's behind... 
(well I still don't really know exactly where that egg exits the chicken), I mean, talk about cultural shock!!! Then I saw cotton that we make clothes from out in the fields...
It took only a couple of months before my husband took over the cooking... I have yet to develop a taste for country cookin'. Thank God for Pizza Hut and stuff 
Anyway, I feel that culturally, my mate and I are worlds apart. So...how's everybody doing?  | |

Sounds like you are the country one, if you didn't know where bacon and eggs came from. Not to mean, but did you go to school in Dallas or anywhere? These things are taught in in the school system no matter where you live, or where you were raised. These are not 'cultural' things. Culture to me would mean what's the meaning of Chiterlings, Escargot, Teriaki, Lo Mein, Enchalada, Baklava etc. [This message was edited Tue Jan 14 7:27:13 PST 2003 by jthad1129] ---------------------------------

Mexican American here  with a weakness for all things British. What's that word Anglophile? It all started with my fascination with Dickens (damn him...lol..) and David Copperfield.
PICTURE IT: XMAS...two years ago... My sisters are both married to guys from different worlds. My older sister is married to a white guy and they have little blond headed kids running around while my kid sister is married to a black guy and they have little black kids running around. My brother's girlfriend is Asian/American and since I'm gay (my boyfriend at the time was British) my ex and I were thrown into the chaotic mix...my mothers digs it all but my father hates us all...lol...he wonders why we couldn't all bring home some nice Mexican... here's to diversity...
