I'm watching this in 2023 because me and my mother fell in love with this show instantly because Marja looks so much like she could be related to Queen Latifah!
Thanks a million to the people involved in these series- excellent job ! I've learned a lot and was thoroughly entertained - so much so that I've recently had discussions with friends to do a foodie trip over to the same spots chronicled here. Thanks!
I love this show & their receipes , the only thing that grabbed my attention was the fact she put her spoon back in the bowl after she put it her mouth
Rice is NOT a side dish, it is the main dish. The greeting often used in Korea is "have you eaten rice?" because that is the most important part of the meal.
Also that greeting was common after Korean war, due to starvation of third world poverty of the past Korea. So when they asked did you eat rice, and depending on how you answered the host would make you a meal. Although the greeting is still used to this day, due to Korean polite culture you wouldn't say I haven't ate, but say something like i am fine!
Spice up your life :) Try spaghetti with a little bit of kimchi on the side. Try red wine with a little bit of kimchi on the side. Try curry with a little bit of kimchi on the side. Try ramen noodles with kimchi on the side. Try chicken noodle soup with kimchi on the side. Try fried chicken with a little bit of kimchi on the side. Stir fry chopped up kimchi with spam and mix them with fried rice. It will change your world and you will never go back. Cheers everyone and Enjoy :)
It's fortunate for Marja that she got adapted and didn't grow up in Korea. Her view of her birth place would be a lot different if she had because of all the discrimination and hardship she would have faced being a mixed race child.
I’m watching on tv ,love your show but that noise (music) while you and your husband cook at home yea that’s gotta go,it sounds like a rusty wheel bearing in dire need of grease!
