@Jeruba I don’t think there is anything wrong with bland food, it doesn’t have to be seen as a negative. I like vanilla ice cream, vanilla cake, pound cake, shortbread, and many other similarly flavored sweets. My husband is similar, he likes flan, tres leches, and plain cheesecake. I think that’s all along the same lines.
Would you say using it to describe someone as boring is using it incorrectly? It won’t be understood?
