My Haole husband is actually part Hawaiian and grew up in Hawaii just like I did. BUT while he loves rice and expects it every meal except when we eat spaghetti, he butters his rice! Yuck!
Unfortunately, as hard as I tried to teach our Hapa kids the “right” way to eat rice, they too love it with butter.
On the other hand, I managed to get my daughter to love Natto (stinky fermented soybeans that even many Japanese can’t stand) and my husband has said we can eat natto on days he is not home.
To his credit, he did try to eat it and just could not swallow it, literally.
