It took me about a month to realize I was eating squid. I thought it was an undercooked mushroom. There are so many varieties of rice cakes and it takes some time to get use to the taste, and there are even different juice than we are use to having. Orange juice is not the normal juice drank here.
And one meal , I was even feed baby Octopus.With that being said, I've learned to stop asking and to just eat what is provided for me.
In Korea, Strangers or small store owners have shared free food with me. It was told to me that they were showing love to me as a foreigner. This means that it would be rude to not accept and eat happily.
Also, in every office, there will be tea or coffee. It is impolite to not offer a drink to your guest in Korea. It's the first thing you do as the host in Korea, even if it's not a party.
If you ask my mom, she will tell you that I am the pickiest child she every had. I don't like the taste of certain foods all the time. She would buy something for me to eat one week, and the next week I would not touch it.
Being in Korea, has taking much of picky-ness away. I still hate ham with a passion but I've learn to eat what is provided for me. God works in mysterious ways. It amazes me that it took him sending me to a foreign country in order to break me of my un-thankful and picky heart and change it.
On this Thanksgiving, I ask that you think about this carefully. I'm not saving to " eat all of your food because children in Africa are starving". I'm saying think about this the Korean way. The food shared with is a representation of a form of love. Don't reject the givers love or God's love.
So check out my Korean food picks! and have a great holiday.
