What gets you to try a cuisine you've never eaten?

I've noticed I do not pay a lot of attention to a cuisine right up until I get a story attached to it. Listening to someone talking about a dish they grew up with, or watching an iconic movie scene built around a meal, for me personally does more than any review ever has.

Also convinced every cuisine gets adopted through one gateway dish, and it's never the most traditional one, usually it's more whatever overlaps with what people already eat.

could a big fast food chain ever do korean food without it being embarrassing

been thinking about this since I saw shake shack still has korean stuff on the menu. when they first did that gochujang chicken everyone clowned it, like slapping gochujang on something doesn't make it korean. but it clearly sold because they never stopped.

so now I keep wondering when one of the actual giants tries it. like a mcdonalds or a wendys or one of those huge gas station chains dropping some korean fried chicken thing or a bibimbap bowl or whatever.

part of me thinks I'd try it out of pure curiosity. the other part knows I'd take one bite and start comparing it to the real thing immediately.

the thing me and my friend keep arguing about is what would even be the right way for them to do it. she thinks it only counts if there's an actual korean chef or korean brand involved in the recipes. I think that can just be a shield, and I'd almost respect it more if they went "this is korean american fusion, we're not pretending it's what you'd get in korea" but then that kinda sounds like an excuse to be lazy too. we've gone back and forth on this for like a week

what would make it feel lazy to you? the recipe / the way they push it? and would you even try it in the first place

Korean cars and liveries in FH6

Hey all!! I’m doing some research on the Korean cars in Forza Horizon 5 and how the livery system works, and I wanted to hear it from people who play. A few things I’m trying to understand:

• Which Korean cars are in the game right now (Hyundai, Kia, Genesis)? Which are base cars, and which are locked behind the Car Pass, rewards, or DLC?
• Are any of them good to drive and used by players, or more of a novelty in the roster? • What's the general feeling towards Korean cars?
• How do liveries work in practice? Can you put any design or logo on any car, or are there limits to what the vinyl editor lets you do?
• How do people find and share liveries? Is there a marketplace or search, and do creators get credited?

Appreciate any answers! Thank you so so very much!!!!
