    Omg your son specifically requested kimbap? That is so cute 🥰🍚 I remember the korean vegan’s story on youtube when she said she brought kimbap to college and the white kids thought it was gross… It’s such good food. Your son has good taste!

    I love that! I’m 48 and when my dad passed I moved back in with my mom and she sends me to work almost everyday with something she made me to eat. My coworkers ask me what is have from the Korean mom mart everyday.

    oh my trauma is calling.
    I hope kids nowadays are nicer towards ethnic food.

    When I was young and a new immigrant, I didn’t want to bring Korean food to school and would want more Western food like sandwiches so I could fit in. Kids would make comments about the Korean food I’d bring which made me self conscious about not just the food but my identity.

    It’s amazing how in a couple of decades, the Korean culture is more known and younger generations, I think, are more accepting of cultural differences. Random reflection but ‘gimbap at school’ just brought out a core memory.

    Those look so good! I wish I had someone make me kimbap for school when I was younger 🙁 cause it’s just a no-fuss simple and hearty meal! But oh well, I guess adulting means I can make myself some anytime (though I feel lazy most days 😭 )
