I was watching TV one day when I learnt that the Koreans love their cheese and ramen:

This reminded me of most Japanese who swear by natto (fermented soya beans). My wife even calls it soul food.

Which leads to the question buzzing in my mind: What is your country/culture’s comfort food?

Ramyeon (different from Japanese Ramen) yes, Ramyeon with cheese is not really that popular. You might find it in some hipster place promoted by some random influencer, but it's def not the standard comfort food in Korea.

Other than Ramyeon, Tteokbokki would probably be one of the most famous Korean foods...

This goes to show that I should take whatever I see on TV with a pinch of salt haha.

Do you have two kimchi fridges at home? That’s another generalisation I picked up from watching TV.

reply

Lots of people have one regular fridge and one kimchi fridge. Not two kimchi ones though~~

But slowly more and more people are ditching the kimchi fridge, but i guess still a majority has one. We don't.

Thanks for correcting my misconception!

Haha, i was definitely still waiting for this message of thanks 5 months later :)

Just like how you were waiting for me to post in ~science 😘

Intensively ;)

I love Tteok-bokki

reply

I don’t really like it. Or mochi for that matter. Too chewy for me haha

reply

For me, as a kid it was a warm bowl of pastina with milk and butter. Italian American comfort food, which makes real Italians wince.

reply

But why? Is it because it looks like baby food? I would have gladly eaten it. My comfort food is congee - something easy to eat is great

reply

Oh, I'm just assuming. I've had many conversations with Italian people from Italy about the way those like me who migrated to the US eat.

As you know that we are a country which is most diverse in culture, food and traditions. What we love in north, we won't find it in everyday meals in the south. We have names like North Indian Food, South Indian Food, Gujrati Food, Punjabi Food, Rajasthani Food, an so on. So much diversity that it would require me to devote a lot of time on the subject. But if you wanna know my favourite dish it's from north india ..

Looks great! What is the name of this dish?

reply

That's "Biscuits & Gravy" haha! It's a Southern Comfort food in America 😅

reply

Now I know!

reply

Mamaliga with smetana, brânză and tvorog. You don't even need forks to eat, hands are just fine.

Looks filling. Which culture are you from, mate?

reply

Moldova/Romania. Also recommend to check our borș, they have "secret" ingredient called borș acru which makes soup sour and tasteful.

reply

Thanks for letting me know

reply

I don't know if I would consider natto comfort food for me, as a Japanese American I love it but, as a Californian my comfort food is a nice carne asada burrito and some grilled fish tacos!

reply

Honestly, I rather eat burrito haha

reply

Mac and cheese

reply

with lobster!

reply

I just ate it last Saturday haha

reply
reply

Both dishes look yummy!

reply

There's a mystery. You'll eat borscht in hundreds households and everyone will have different taste

The day is coming when you won't be able to call yourself a real Bitcoiner until you've had Salvadoran pupusas, and no, it won't matter how many sats you have.
