Food is a great example of mixing cultures

Posted byVanya Wryter ConsultingPosted inLifestyleTags:, , , ,

The other day, I had Korean food. Asian food doesn’t usually have cheese, but in North America, they have cheese in their food options. For example, Japanese sushi has a cream cheese roll, which has cream cheese in it. This ingredient is not typical for Asian cuisine. Many Asians are lactose intolerant, so cheese products aren’t popular.

I tried a Korean special platter that had rice, green onion, egg, bulgogi, corn, and melted cheese in separate sections on a metal pan that was heated by elements on the table. The platter was enough to share for three people. The cheese is unusual for Asian cuisine. The melted texture reminded me of pizza.  

The AAA beef “box sushi” (for lack of a better word) reminded me of Japanese cuisine. However, the Korean version had a slightly different flavor than the Japanese one. It was my first time trying out both dishes, but I liked them.

To me, these dishes were a great example of how cuisines from around the world and cuisines from different cultures blend together to create something tasty.

  5. This post was very informative. I had no idea about cheese and Asian food. But now that I think about it I don’t see cheese in the dishes I have eaten. I do like those Korean barbecue meatballs. I had some a few months back. Delish!

    2. There are a lot of restaurants that have Indian food here in BC, Canada but I’m not sure how authentic it is. 🙂So with that context in mind, I’ll say that I have liked the Indian food that I did experience and I would definitely have Indian food again.

  9. I absolutely love Korean food, it’s one of my favourite types of food to make. Although traditional Korean food doesn’t have cheese lots of Koreans in Korea now add cheese to their dishes too. I follow some Korean YT channels and lots of their recipes and meals have cheese added to them. It’s interesting how different cultures end up influencing one another.
    I also think food is such a great way to learn about other cultures.

  10. Your exploration of Korean cuisine with a North American twist sounds absolutely delightful! It’s fascinating how the fusion of traditional Asian dishes with elements like cheese can create a whole new taste experience, blending cultures in such a delicious way. The way you describe the special platter and the AAA beef “box sushi” makes it easy to imagine the flavors and textures you experienced. It’s great to hear that you were open to trying these unique dishes and ended up enjoying them. Do you have any other fusion dishes or unusual food combinations you’re looking forward to trying next?

  11. Interesting how we can blend foods in different ways. I grew up with many Chinese restaurants advertised themselves as Chinese -American restaurants. When I saw my first Chinese restaurant in Tijuana, Mexico, it should not have been a surprise to see it billed as a Chinese -American restaurant.

      1. I don’t know since we didn’t stop. My guess is a blend of typical Chinese dishes and Mexican dishes. Both cuisines are popular in the US. Would be a fun restaurant to try.
