lol, usually like this! I recommend a Japanese one bc the Korean ones are sweeter than I prefer. The less neon yellow, the better usually, imo!

imo, for this texture, you want one that looks like the first pic, not the second! (Second is still good, but it’s not CRUNCH maxxing like that)

The veg has been dried before it’s pickled, so it’s…. Thicker? Denser??? Idk. It just has this SUPER incredible crunch. Not crisp at all like a rice crispy or a fresh veg

No, I literally don’t know how to describe it! I feel like western food never achieves this texture! It’s SUPER crunchy, but…… dull? That’s not right but I’m grasping for words I don’t have! It’s a p common Japanese pickle texture, but good, wrinkly-looking takuan is the best for it.

Takuan has the same, but this one has it a little *more*

you’d have one nickel, due to me being the only sole bearer of the curse, alone 😔

I think they kind of genuinely can’t empathize with someone having a trait that is outside of the mainstream default, especially since it’s not particularly visible in this case. Like, they *know* I’m mixed race in their head, but they can’t know it in their hearts.

I know! It’s genuinely a miracle. And they’re so like… open to new food and grateful for me sharing my culture w them. I’m always blown away

I bear a curse

This is very frustrating and invalidating for me, but I shudder to think of how they’d act if I wasn’t white-presenting. If I was full Japanese.

it’s so exhausting. It’s been 6 years. They just CANNOT understand.
