How do you try to broaden a conservative eater's palate and get them to be less scared about trying new things?

My roommates are midwesterners who's favorite restaurants are Olive Garden and Buffalo Wild Wings when we're surrounded by good Korean and Mediterranean food, and who have probably five vegetables they eat on the regular.

They're obese and have difficulty eating new things which limits their diets considerably. And it's fun to try new things. Why wouldn't you want to help someone like that?

Or something like that.

If those places have take out, bring some home and offer them to give it a try. Some peoples palates will never grow though, it seems to be a neurotic personality thing and that's something you are certainly not going to change.

Give them baklava. B dubs is awesome. You have to ease them into different food, they're not going to try Korean food because it sucks.

Korean BBQ is fucking GOAT and even if you're a picky eater (which I've been and am trying to better myself) there's no way you won't find something you like.

Communal dinners, whoever cooks determines what to eat. Everyone has to behave like grown up and eat their din din.

I cook them new foods and make sure to do a really good job at it. In my experience most people who claim they hate a specific food have only tried it once and it was either bad ingredients or bad preparation. Make it correctly with good ingredients and they will often love it.

You also have to be a bit mindful of the presentation and you might have to work up to certain dishes. I wouldn't serve fish-head curry to someone like this...at least not at first.

You can also ease into it. I think Korean is very accessible due to the BBQ angle. Invite people over for BBQ. Do the basic shit like hot dogs and burgers, but then do some Korean-spiced short ribs too. Everybody loves those. Then that's a foot in the door for more Asian food, etc.

Establish a reputation in their eyes as a good cook by doing an outstanding job on foods that they are used to eating. I.e. they know you make the best mac and cheese. The best thanksgiving turkey. The best BBQ. And so on. Once you have a reputation for outstanding food you can serve them other things and they'll surely try it.

Nice hyperbole there.

I don't think anyone has a problem with the fact that different people have different preferences. But what's so silly is when someone refuses to even TRY something new. There is a difference between willful ignorance and personal preference.

I hear you. People with peanut allergies truly are the worst. My brother's fiancee claims she is allergic to nuts. They're coming over to my place next weekend and I plan to bake some treats with nuts in them but I won't tell her there's nuts in there until she tastes them in order to broaden her palate and show her that nuts can be tasty too.
