My parents carried mouthwash in the car rather than give up eating kimchi. Today I watch white hipsters line up for kogi tacos.

Kids eventually stopped yelling "yuck" when I had rice and seaweed for lunch. Now toasted seaweed is a low carb snack at Trader Joe's.

@sarahjeong I got loud "eeeeewws" w/ a thermos-packed lunch. That lunch: chicken nuggets. It's targeted at the food, but it's not the food. -
@SherwinPK ok but wait your parents packed you chicken nuggets? -
@sarahjeong a few times. They were big on assimilation. Also, they themselves were kids of immigrants (to the Philippines). Immigraception. -
@SherwinPK It's funny what ends up resisting assimilation. Like my parents just could not give up kimchi—lots of Koreans just can't. -
@SherwinPK But so much else succumbs to assimilation!

I work at home so I made some kimchi spam fried rice for lunch

@sarahjeong I had spam loco moco for lunch yesterday and cherish every bit of disgust I got for it. Spam + Tang = space food success club. -
@funranium spam is fantastic -
@sarahjeong Still working on the fine art of kimchi. Took me until age 29 to start liking sauerkraut. -
@funranium I still don't like sauerkraut tbh -
@sarahjeong I find beer helps. A lot. In many situations. -
@funranium@sarahjeong red wine does same thing for blue cheese. Hated it til I had some@a wine tasting, which apparently rewired my brain
