<human>: Can you give me a shortened version of the text?

My wife is from Pakistan, and I'm from the US.  We've been together 8 years but only got married and started living together a few months ago. She loves to cook, it's her favorite hobby.  She cooks primarily Pakistani and Indian food, and some American food as well.

I really don't like the native food she makes.  I've tried it a bunch of times, and I make an effort for her, but I honestly can't stand it, it makes me sick.  I know the food isn't bad itself because guests and family really seems to love it, but I personally don't like it at all.  I really crave the days she makes mashed potatoes and gravy because those are much better.  I know I sound like a cultural idiot, but I can't really help the foods I like and don't like.

How do I tell my wife that I can't eat her cooking anymore?  I'm more than happy to cook for myself but she takes a lot of pride in her cooking and really enjoys it.  I don't want to break her heart by asking for American food only, plus I know she'd hate having to eat it every day.
