NGL, when I go back to Korea after a while, the hardest thing to get used to is how everyone seems so angry all the time 😤

Okay but fr, I love plain bread too. Sweet garlic bread? Hard pass. Sweet pizza dough? Absolutely not. It's just how it is here, bread is more dessert than meal, so the lines are blurry. I lived in the US and once saw a cheap sushi place use jasmine rice for sushi and I was so mad I almost flipped the table, no cap. If you're in a culture where something isn't a staple, you gotta put in the work to find your taste, what else can you do? 🤷‍♀️

Why are you trying to make a meal out of something that's literally sold as a snack or dessert, bestie? LMAO 😭

There ARE a lot of delicious bakeries tho? Obvs there are differences compared to Europe, but how lucky are we to get decent baguettes and pain de campagne in a culture literally on the other side of the world... but yeah, the air quality is kinda trash 💨

But like, showering with hard water in Europe just leaves you feeling slimy and gross all day, no cap 🤢

Fr tho, rice needs SO much water to grow, you can't even cultivate it in dry climates. 🌾

Hold up, the last part is wrong. Globally, wheat has more cultivated area and more consuming countries than rice, and noodles/bread are more mainstream. Most rice is consumed in Asia. Just facts. 🌍

German bread is cool and all, but I can never forget that Hefeweizen I had near the New Palace in Stuttgart 🍻✨
