  the reason conner’s hot dog was white is cause it’s fish cake inside, not an actual hotdog 💀

  As a Korean American,  I was raised on my mother's cooking which was Korean food as it was in the 1960s/70s.    Some time after that, Korea learned to incorporate more and more sugar into their cooking.  Like a lot of countries, sugar became one of the cheapest sources of calories and flavor.  As a result, the food radically changed.  So now I feel like a thawed frozen caveman when I eat in Korea.   Most of it is too sweet for me now.   Its actually a common topic among the elderly and other people who grew up in a time capsule like me.

  Cultural context:<br>Most people in Korea actually associate hot dogs with corn dogs, often coated with fried taters and cheese inside.<br><br>Also that soup Connor likely got wasn’t miso soup: it’s miyukgook or Kelp Soup. It’s natural MSG and is regularly served as a birthday tradition where you drink your next year in a bowl. Korea has its own fermented bean paste separate to Miso called Dwaenjang, which is honestly saltier and much larger (it’s served in a stone pot)

  All the folks saying that the sweetness from the kelp broth came from MSG have no clue what they&apos;re talking about. MSG is literally a salt -- it&apos;s in the very name. It&apos;s supposed to taste savoury.<br><br>Also true on Koreans having sweeter palates. I love Korean food and watching Korean cooking shows, and chefs seem to use sugar pretty liberally.

  One think it like about Korean food in North America is that it survived &quot;Amerification&quot; the best so it&apos;s easier to find more authentic versions.<br><br>Japanese and Thai restaurants all feel the same and with Chinese food you&apos;re out of luck unless you live in a big city with tons of Chinese people that will actually eat real Chinese food
