She must not have as refined a palate as other people. I only say this because she mentioned knowing it was hers because of the other person's reaction.

the girl in red has chaotic energy, i’m here for it

[@noneno2805]

@vencebi pdr tf she doesn't, chaotic energy is where they're chaotic not edgy 👀

[@toxicpeng6552]

Depressed energy*

[@annedrade]

They all seemed pretty calm.

[@LostKat]

I love how the woman in red is apparently a little different... and her mom's kimchi is also a little different. It's the little things.

[@ElephantChatting]

I love this comparison 💕🙏🏾 because I noticed that as well lol

[@djm4854]

I noticed that, too! She thought she just guessed it bc of that other girl's reaction, but she didn't realize she guessed bc it spoke of who her Mom is as a person. She saw her Mom in the food through someone's experience. That's honestly so powerful!

[@bloom3486]

They're so respectful to others food! love it. not like them "dads taste other dads..." etc vids

[@baewuxian]

Man those videos are rough they outright spitting those foods😭

[@tedlovejesus]

Those are actors teasing the black dad stereotypes

[@LG_Hakubi]

That's because those parents were competing against each other and playing it up for the camera. This video is a completely different concept 😕

[@sarahk8742]

Standard for Korean kids who grew up American.

@Joe Landry I like it :)

[@ilovesparky13]

It’s everywhere…

[@eaten_kookie6247]

@Joe Landryit's so good

[@aznmochibunny]

@Joe Landry Seems to me you've just had really bad kimchi. Also, kimchi is extremely healthy for you and has tons of health benefits. I'd take kimchi any day over stuff like broccoli and bittermelon.

[@jisookim1452]

@Joe Landry Then it probably isn't just your taste, no need to hate on it

[@enzosison3799]

Wow. I actually got so excited when they all got it right 😂 lol

[@laurenhan1215]

[@yonpark6245]

I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO INVESTED IN THESE KIDS GETTING THE ANSWERS RIGHT. This is because I am a Korean mom and I know I would be heartbroken. FIGHTING!

[@InDadequate]

IDK, I'm an old white guy and I was probably just as invested ;-p I love KimChi, and I know how different it can be from batch to batch, cook to cook, so when I find one I like, Its like a favorite shirt, or pair of shoes, I buy it in every color and keep coming back

Haha my mom can't even cook so yah...

[@stellabailey3372]

The girl in red is the most relatable person I’ve ever watched.

[@7arabgirl]

Seems like the girl in red doesn’t get along with her mom.

[@kakuella]

I can relate to that .. 😂😞😂

[@aznmochibunny]

I don't think it's necessarily that at all. Asian parents expect certain things out of their children - getting good grades, finding a good spouse, graduating from an Ivy League university, etc. It just seems to me that she decided to do what she wanted instead of doing what her mom (parents) wanted, which most likely has disappointed her mom many times.

[@muhammadwalid8440]

I dont even know how to enjoy kimchi, the smell is so strong like durian

[@aznmochibunny]

@@muhammadwalid8440 Maybe you've just had bad kimchi (maybe just overly fermented ones). I prefer the fresher ones which don't really have as bad an odor than super fermented kimchi. Durian is just a whole nother level of smells.

[@caff8305]

@@aznmochibunny it be like that in russian parent too ;

I just love how respectful they are, it’s a much different turn from Black aunties try other black auntie’s potato salad 😂🤦🏾‍♀️

That was the best video I’ve ever watched 💀

[@kseniakolykhalova5629]

you are so right! different families have their own recipes .... and if it doesn't taste like your mom cooked, doesn't mean its bad. i don't have my mom since i were 25 and i really miss her cooking.

My parents' kimchi taste changes every year, depending on the crop quality of the year, the availability of certain ingredients that year, the brand of pepper flakes used... there's no way I'd be able to tell it apart from other kimchi.
