I suppose its also because as some get older they get stuck in their ways and cant be flexible anymore..if they ever were. Reminds me of my mother...she would eat nothing in a Chinese restaurant except Chicken Chow Mein....no way was she putting that other foreign food in her mouth.

A man I know, now in his 60's has worked in the grocery business in a highly populated east coast state since he was 18. Over the years he rose into high corporate management. Also over the years he attended many food handling courses. Although I have asked him from time to time to join me for a meal in a Chinese restaurant of his choosing he always refuses. He reminds me that many if not most of the worst food handling infractions given as examples in the numerous courses he has taken were from Chinese restaurants. He will not trust their hygiene practices (or the lack thereof).
Also, the worst food I ever ate was in China over a two week tour. One of the participants became so seriously ill from the food there they evacuated her by plane for hospitalization. The food I ate in Egypt and Morocco was OK but not remarkable and I did not get sick. It may have been Halal. I don't know or care.
