Picky Eater Tries Raw Seafood in Korea

[@JasonNguyen-wv3lw]

The fact that y’all threw her in the deep end with the first dish as raw crab is crazy lmao

[@xaostek]

If you start at the deep end, the shallow waters feel like nothing!

[@LegPressWhizzer]

Yeah I love seafood and even I would hesitate with gejang just bc I've never had raw crab before. It was a definite risk

[@LettuceLand]

she took it like a champ tbh a lot of picky eats I know start gagging and throwing up

[@mareneaufrance5096]

Gotta give Lizzie kudos for trying. I've seen people barely taking nibbles of food, and stop. Lizzie went back for a second bite without prompts. Good job!

[@FlavorofMind]

Yeah, props to the folks that go for a second bite! Always! 😅

[@zoeykeller9083]

Lizzie is actually quite hilarious. Props to her for trying even though she didnt like it. Great sport.

[@AnonymousNoNayme]

14:12 made me lol. Not a shrimp-guy? Pretty sure she wasn't a guy at all let alone a shrimp-guy

[@destinynolastnames7462]

She did a really good job. She didnt say mean things, she tried her best and really tried to swallow everything. Thats what trying new things is all about. It makes me feel a bit better about wanting to try marinated crab.

[@FlavorofMind]

Definitely. Hope you go for it and try sometime! Quite a rewarding food!

[@AnonymousNoNayme]

"She didn't say mean things, she tried her best and really tried to swallow everything." Wife goals.

[@vickyou2238]

So glad that Lizzie found something that she liked in the end! As someone who also isn't the biggest fan of seafood, props to her for trying them all haha

[@kleethepimp]

Good on Lizzie for trying. I'll eat almost anything but I do understand people who are like "not for me". Whoever can talk themselves into it tho, should try.

[@watcher]

She's a trooper

[@FlavorofMind]

Agree! Stepping into the unknown leads to all kinds of good possibilities and memorable experiences 😅. I'm glad I rolled the dice and started trying the (supposedly) more "exotic" Korean foods years ago, because I've learned to love just about all of it!

[@paigestepp1848]

The flow of this episode is so natural and the intro is stellar. Proud of Lizzie for going outside her comfort zone ☺️

[@LegPressWhizzer]

As a picky eater myself, this was an impressive showing from Lizzie. It's expected that the raw items would give her more issues since it seemed like texture was such a big hurdle for her and it's not surprising that the chili lobster would have been her "favourite"

[@divab63]

So impressed that Lizzie tried all those dishes. I love seafood and thought they all looked amazing but I can’t imagine someone who doesn’t like seafood trying some of those dishes. Definitely some challenging dishes. Now if I was there, nothing would be left on those dishes 😂😂😂.

[@blumtnpaj23]

I love Lizzie so much, her mom also seems like a REAL character

[@okimak]

Love this episode concept. Lizzie is great. Awesome to include another member of the production team. It's also great seeing a woman featured the whole episode. Really enjoying Travel Season. Great job, so far. 👍🏾

[@alirodina]

Didn't think I would enjoy this as much as I did 😂 She's such a trooper, but Lizzie's reactions are hilarious

[@lik3th3hamm3r]

One, Steven please come sit across from me while I try all the foods that scare me. Two, Lizzziiiiieeeeeeee I love you. This was such a good time, thank you!

[@chrispinner8505]

This has been my favorite episode. I moved from New Orleans to Chicago, and have been baffled by the midwestern "I don't like seafood" crowd.

[@clickhere2d1e]

To be fair to the Midwest, I was always told "don't buy seafood if you can't see the sea." And I think that the people who said that are right, because the difference in the quality of seafood between a landlocked state and a state with a coastline is HUGE.

[@DinahMarie21]

The oysters made me think of Andrew saying “They’re basically just snot rocks”

[@nekochan5000]

she's awesome. please have her try more foods. i'm loving her genuine journey

[@raisamushrafichep5583]

Appreciate Lizzie tried, but not sure how I felt about this episode. As a foodie, I love seeing people enjoy and the food that they're eating!

[@unlessyoucanbebatman]

I love seeing folks enjoy a variety of foods that I personally wouldn't try (some sort of vicarious living, I suppose), but as a fellow picky eater who has had a rocky past with seafood, I love episodes like this where I can see other people going out of their comfort zones, and I'm inspired by their courage. It's also just nice to feel seen, especially with things like textures bogging down certain dining experiences and food styles.

[@Lili-ib2rh]

I'm proud of her and sympathise with her, as I myself have eating difficulties (for reasons of texture and health problems) but I'm also a bit jealous because I love seafood and fish. It's probably the only thing I can always eat without difficulty (unless it's not fresh or the person is a terrible cook).

[@KimJayViet]

Considering how overfished the oceans are, it's more for us. I'm not side-eyeing people who don't have a palate for seafood; just means more for seafood lovers.

[@FlavorofMind]

Exactly. This is the take!

[@threvorpaul]

It's a little evil thought but yes 100% agree

[@KimJayViet]

@@threvorpaul I didn't overfish the oceans. It's a hard fact but I'm not evil for bringing it up. Maybe more of us need to watch documentaries about environmental degradation and bring it up more often. Our children deserve it.

[@threvorpaul]

Learn to read and with context. Especially here with your own comment as the origin. And me saying "I agree with you" 🤔 Nowhere did I say YOU are evil or YOU overfished the ocean 🤦🏽‍♂️ The evil is related to you feeling gleeful/happy that others don't like seafood but you do and you feel happy about their "misery".

[@threvorpaul]

@@KimJayViet are u stupid? genuinely?

[@mylesfamjam7619]

This episode was absolutely priceless, my wife and I were almost crying laughing! My wife is a texture girl as well! Loved it!🔥🔥👏🏻👏🏻

[@dangdayne808]

I don’t usually like or comment videos but because Lizzy tried these dishes I gotta give this video a round of applause 👏👏👏❤

[@zo594]

Raw shrimp and oyster on basically her first go at seafood is a lot to ask! 👏 Good on Liz plus it's not like every Korean person will like oysters or even seafood as a whole either 😂 all g

[@souns101]

Omg as a seafood texture hater, I totally related to Lizzie and I appreciate her trying it damn

[@mrpandabearrr]

her ending was the best part. haha great episode

[@kugrash]

as someone who struggles with food textures a lot, i definitely feel for lizzie but appreciate her trying all this all the same! i'd love to be able to do something like this with friends but sometimes that gag reflex with whatever my brain registers as a "wrong" texture is a beast to deal with

[@watcher]

She powered through and we love her for it. Also s-tier handle kugrash4life.

[@all.nights.dreaming]

Huge props to Lizzie for trying the food but this is so hard to watch. That poor girl. I feel so anxious watching her struggle. 🥲

[@FoxNimbus]

I hope they let the restaurants know what was up so they didn't think they messed up. 😂 Lizzie, you were so brave! Proud of you!

[@LionMettled]

Hearing Lizzy say she'd rather skydive again instead of eating the raw crab and then taking that big bite full of roe is so funny to me 😂 Mad respect to Lizzy for jumping in, this was a cute video

[@koreanguy604]

She is so hilarious

[@AyasaurusRexx]

This is what I like to see in people -- the willingness to try despite the preconceived notions of how they'll experience the food. Obviously, it can pain some people to see other people not enjoy the food that they love, but it's such a good thing to not say no but that you're willing to try it once.

[@LadyWoot]

Ive always had a bad time with oysters but i still hold out hope that one day someone will introduce me to an oyster that doesnt make me gag

[@LadyWoot]

​@MegaMike3443ooo that might be it

[@Skenjin]

@@LadyWoot Fried oyster is one of the few seafood dishes I actually enjoy.

[@harvestmoon_autumnsky]

A much smaller one, they're sweeter. The big ones taste like sea snot. I'll eat them but...the small ones are delicious

[@Michelle-pk8jl]

Kumamotos are a great gateway oyster! They're smaller, sweeter and firmer in a good way

[@cyril4614]

Try small ones with strong seasoning/sauces! Tbh i also cant eat oyster that big, but if its smaller, i actually quite like it

[@IAmLucipurr]

raw marinaded crab is one of my FAVORITE things but it's so hard to find in america. I'm also cracking up watching her eat this crab. this poor girl 😂😂😂

[@FlavorofMind]

Definitely. It's just one of those Korean foods that are really hard to find over there, especially with matching quality. But it makes coming to Korea all the more special I guess!

[@kennykim4783]

You can find them at Korean market like h-mart, etc

[@callmecynthiaa]

A lot of Korean restaurants actually have them on their menu now!

[@IAmLucipurr]

@@kennykim4783 like premarinated? before I even tried them from a restaurant I bought some frozen blue crabs from h mart and used a recipe for the marinade and made my own during quarantine. when I finally tried it at a restaurant I was surprised I was spot on with it and it tasted just as good. I'm too scared to get the live ones from h mart and make them more fresh but one day I'll try to do it from the live fresh ones they have out in the bucket 😅

[@IAmLucipurr]

@@callmecynthiaa I've found some spots recently that specialize in them so I've been able to enjoy them at restaurants more now!

[@bbpisc]

god i love ganjang gaejang its cold, creamy a little sweet. its like such a pure delicious flavor. so so good with hot rice and a spoonful of the marinade. thanks lizzie for trying!

[@kennethchen319]

I think maybe you did the equivalent of throwing someone who can barely doggy paddle into the deep end of the pool, I feel like she needed to be eased in. That is so funny the whole thing about all seafood being creamy in texture, I never thought about it. Great video!

There’s a difference between actually putting a “whole piece” of new food in your mouth and just giving it a nibble. Lizzie is an abso-f&$!ing-lute champ at actually trying smth new throughout the whole video. Like the amount of positivity she’s trying to endure with something that scares her especially to put in your mouth takes an insane amount of courage. Huge kudos, wow!

I kind of like how this is turning into How I Met Your Mother vibes. Great intro, but now inviting friends. This is an episode where Ted, Marshall, and Barney bring Robin to try seafood.

[@sugreev2001]

As someone who doesn’t like seafood as well, kudos to Lizzie for trying everything and not really creating a fuss.

[@drdanyu]

IMO most of our food preferences get imprinted in our very early childhood which is why I am immensely grateful for being born into a Korean family. I don't see Lizzie ever truly loving raw marinated crabs 😂.

[@drdanyu]

We talk about mother tongue in regards to languages but it definitely applies to food preferences.

[@FlavorofMind]

I am fascinated with this topic honestly 😂 As someone that didn't like certain Korean foods at first but now loves some of those very same foods, I'm a big believer that some folks can adapt and enjoy new flavors/textures. But there are all kinds of eaters out there 🙂

[@drdanyu]

@@FlavorofMind I believe that biology plays a greater role than psychology. During my early developmental years I was exposed to fermented foods (kimchi, Korean miso), seafood with different textures (sashimi, dried squid) and spicy food. So as an adult my body does not perceive, for instance, stinky cheese, durian, fermented skate or Buldak ramen to be a physical threat. Of course psychology/cultural conditioning over time has also made me appreciate these foods/delicacies.

[@FlavorofMind]

@drdanyu I definitely agree that biology is a big part of it, no doubt. But I also know people that have made some big changes in what they will or won't eat, and I have to believe some of that is a mix of sensory and psychological. I used to detest cilantro, for example, and now I enjoy eating it by the handful. I can't explain why exactly 🙂 but I believe there are plenty of others out there who are capable of such a shift.

[@lilykep]

I love when people don't eat things I enjoy. More for me, and I never have to worry about them eating something I've bought for myself. Me and my whole family love avocados and when I was living at home I had to fight for every single one I ate, now I'm married and grown and my husband hates avocados so every one I buy I also get to eat.

As a seafood lover, this was an extremely frustrating episode to watch because i would have eaten everything 😅. Prompts for trying though.

[@FlavorofMind]

Haha, me too... I say try everything if you can, when it comes to food. But in the end I realize not everyone will think the same way 😂
