I'm indian as well and I've never really had this problem with anyone else. Nor would I behave in the same way (but that's probably because I can't cook). Either way, just talk with him and set some boundaries.

Could have been worse. Some roommates bring a bunch of black guys and suck each others cocks all night.
Example :

Have a talk with him.

Unless the guy eats a lot, maybe it's better to try for communal living, as it's very used to do in most dorms. Sometimes when you're out of money he may have food and vice-versa, might work better for you.
They first ignore you. After they laugh at you. Next they will fight you. In the end you will win.

Don't freak man, if the dude cooks great food let him do it! hell I would pay him to do it.

My old room mate can not cook for shit and insist on cooking all the time. It really pisses me off.

This seems to be the best option so far, why over complicate something?

And do it in a nicer way then this post :p

But i would talk to him about it asap, the longer you wait the harder it gets. While it is not that big of a deal and im sure he will understand.

Edit: That blog about the gay roommate is sick and at the same time the most funny thing i ever read lol.

^ Well, He's got a point, it is a culture thing.

I mean, who the hell just use food that BELONG to another person without asking him?

It's like using your shampoo and drink your coke. It's just not DONE.

If you really need to, then at least ask.

well its also a culture thing to appreciate good food and shareing with people who live in the same house as you? example, ordering an pizza and cola for yourself when you know the entire house has been living on oatmeal for a week.

its not a good premise for good atmosphere and budding friends / neighbors.

as for the OP, you are insecure because you know its bad mannered, and while you should establish boarders i strongly advocate a mentality that very share and cooperate strategy.

Yea I think an I pad is the way outta this one.

But really, this is like, WAY more than reasonable. Either deal with it , or just let him know very casually.


Or be an internet shut in!! You get it on your I phone right?

It could very well be a culture thing. It could also be just an upbringing thing. It could be a million different things. In any case, bringing in race and being a racist about it isn't going to even begin to solve any problems.

The solution is easy imo: Make up a plan for how much money you are prepared to spend on food per day (for just yourself)
Buy food for this amount of money and allow room mate to use at will. (Since you apparantly enjoy his cooking).
Use his food whenever you need it.
If you buy the end of the month has spent no more money than your budget allowed then the sharing thing works out fine and you don't need an argument. Otherwise splt the fridge in two and keep things separate.

I honestly don't see what the problem is. You barely have enough to eat and you are poor. He comes in and turns your crap into something delicious and actually supplies you with MORE food.

The point with the oatmeal is right as well. You don't just live with someone and watch them eat oatmeal for a month while you cook up sweet meals for yourself and eat it. It's good to share. Sure hes using some of your food, but you yourself said that you get more for your buck than he is getting.

You could just tell him to ask you before he uses your stuff. That way if you really really wanted to keep your food you can just tell him not to use it. Talking with him about it won't make him mad, a nice guy like him would understand, I mean if he were mean as hell then I would be scared to talk to him about it, or I know talking to him about it would have no effect.

As for the accent, well... there's nothing you can do about that, but I mean... in hindsight if you actually had a friend to room with you would never have been in this situation. Consider yourself lucky, some people get stuck with genuinely shitty roommates
always tired -_-
