I'm of british ancestry but i hate bland food

Put some Tobasco sauce in your porridge.

What you are has nothing to do with the foods you like. I'm Hispanic and theres a LOT of Hispanic dishes that I find disgusting. XD

Yes it's normal, and try eating an English breakfast, there's plenty of taste in that, especially in the sausage, drink tea with it too. If you want flavourful foods, try Samboy chips, they have more taste than a normal chip, and try Starburst lollies, which have more taste than other lollies, and try acid drops, they're really nice. If you want taste then I recommend you don't eat liquorice fudge as it has little taste in it. Also, try sausages in gravy with buttery mashed potatoes, it has a lot of taste. And even try liver and onions, also flavourful, and also try having some curry, once you eat curry you will love it, it melts in your mouth. Does that answer your question?

I'm a white person from the US and hate bland food and get sick of the same thing over and over again as well. I like my food to be bursting with flavor or even have a bit of kick to it.

I know so many people who won't eat anything but bland crap you'd feed a 5-year-old, like plain cheese or pepperoni pizza, chicken nuggets, boxed mac 'n cheese with nothing added to it to give it flavor (I know one person who adds extra milk to make it even more bland; I always add tons of ingredients to mine because I think it needs major doctoring up), burgers with no toppings, grilled cheese sandwiches with processed cheese, unseasoned meat, etc. I don't think it's as much of a nationality/cultural thing as much as the fact that their family only ate stuff like that or never made them try anything other than "kid-friendly" bland foods growing up, so they never learned to like anything else. Growing up, I ate what the rest of the family was having and was asked to at least try foods; it was not nothing but chicken nuggets, mac 'n cheese, plain cheese pizza, etc. for me like it was with some of these people.

I actually have a friend who won't eat a single fruit or vegetable and likes everything very plain. He actually said a mac 'n cheese dish (it was a jazzed up version with white cheese, chicken, and bacon, but no spices) was spicy, I couldn't believe it. I swear, he can't fill up the fingers on both hands with foods he actually likes, and none of those foods are even remotely healthy, nor do they have any flavor.

The idea that a person's skin colour has some relevance to their food preferences is bizarre and racist, and your shoehorning of "PC culture" into your comment doesn't really work, but never mind...

Traditional British food does have a reputation for being bland, boring and stodgy, but boring food is not a uniquely British national characteristic.

I lived in Italy for several years. Italian food has a good reputation, but the daily diet of ordinary Italians is pretty boring in its own way. The traditional Italian diet is healthy, but the palette of foods is very limited. The number of spices and seasonings available in the typical Italian supermarket is about a quarter of what you see in even a small British supermarket, and the bulk of most Italians' diets consists of variations on pasta and sugo along with a little bit of tough meat and greenery of some sort.

There are lots of factors involved in what foods a person prefers. Genes do play some role in that they determine how many taste-buds we're born with, so some people are born "super tasters" who find strong flavours overpowering. However, it's nonsense to believe that someone with, say, an Indian heritage is born with an innate preference for curry and hot spices, while every infant with French ancestry is born liking snails and ripe Camembert. Food preferences are acquired at a very young age when we're first fed solid food, but those preferences can change when we're older if we're open to experimentation. Unfortunately, many people are inherently conservative and reluctant to try anything new, and their instinctive reaction to unfamiliar flavours is negative.

Scones or scones?

I've never tried vegemite before. How does it taste like?
