The one thing I really hate with cooking-themed isekais is when the MC whips out a completely foreign (Korean or Japanese, usually) word for the dish name and nobody even thinks to question it.
@fushiginiku yeah like how can you expect everyone would like it- I still think it's cool and stuff but it annoys me a bit that once the people gets a taste of the 'exotic food' aka the food from a different world they dont question it, judge it, etc. Especially since this generally takes place in a place where historically their food are rather bland, but then again the settings different. Also I tried different types of tteokbokki and you can kind of taste the seafoodness idk, and Korean food or asian food in general are pretty strong so people (at the party) who have more sensitive tastebuds would surely react in a different way right? But then again I'm just taking this with a grain of salt and pushing it to the back of my mind lmao.
@UuulonnyuuU tteokbokki is rice cake though? like its literally made from rice/flour , if you're tasting seafood it's because of sauce/gravy, maybe try traditional tteokbokki in chili paste (gochujang) or cheese tteokbokki? you shouldn't be tasting seafood from flour xD its honestly bland on its own, see tteokguk (rice cake soup) which is also not a strong dish, its more similar to congee/porridge in taste, so it wouldnt be strong unless the gravy is
