I guess this is a cooking question..
I was talking to a friend of mine and some how we got onto the subject of seasoning food. I made a comment that white people are boring because all they use is salt and pepper and occasionally garlic. I'm spanish and so is my friend, so of course us being spanish we're used to foods with all these rich spices and whatnot. I was talking to my boyfriend and I told him about it because my boyfriend is... well he's whiter than a sheet of paper. Anyway for some reason, he told his mom about it and I feel really bad now that I said it because I feel that I've offended his mother. His mother and I have a very good relationship considering the fact that I've been with my boyfriend for a long time. I just feel really bad about making that comment now. He told me that she pretty much agreed with it, but I still feel horrible about it because I eat over at their house almost every weekend and she cooks, but her food is really good! I don't know what I should do. I don't really want to bring the subject up again because I don't want to offend her even more if in fact I even did offend her. Any advice?

Don't worry about it!
Honestly, relax.
It's not an insult. It's actually the truth. It's just spanish people are much more daring when it comes to cooking and alot of white people aren't.
I doubt that you offended her and if she says anything about it just explain that you were joking around and didn't mean to offend anyone, I'm sure she'll understand.

Just relax! Your comment was made as a basic overall sterotype of white cooking. Even I didn't take offense. Mostly it is true. That doesn't mean the cooking is bad, just not terribly daring. How bad can you screw up a combo of potatoes onions and garlic with some salt and pepper? Plain, but boy does it taste good. Don't worry about it!

Well i think the next time you see her say " hey about that joke i made i hope it didnt offend you i was being sarcastic im sorry if it did" or something like that, im sure she doesnt feel bad or anythingplus maybe after you have eaten over say Wow that was really good.
Hope i helped.

lol i really really hope this doesnt sound bitchy..but its not that serious haha. cmon hun its food! but if you want to be sure..just tell her that when u said that you didnt mean HER food..n tell her you love her food! to show it, just take extra helping and dont put pepper on it! lol. but if/when you talk to her, dont make it any serious convo. just make a light simple statement so she understands! if you make it something serious n heavy she'll probably feel awkward! xoxo!!
