My fiance made japanese food for my dad one time, and at the end he said. I didn't even need tortillas it was that good. Haha he eats spaghetti with tortillas and salsa 😮
@@jovemgafanhoto4512yeah but the mamas complain a lot on this channel when they try new food lol I think our dads are just more open to trying new food (atleast my dad is)
Where did you find dads that can describe food in more than one word? My dad, if we give him something new, we have to just interpret his body language haha
I'm a Korean dude, honestly was surprised to see this show up on my recommends! I live in Italy so sadly we're definitely lacking good Mexican food here- But man I do miss the good stuff I used to eat back when I lived on the west coast. Mexican cuisine is one of the best all around!
As an italian in constant finding of authentic/traditional food from around the world is really hard to find good places. But i got lucky at least with Indian, Chinese and Greek
I watched a lecture on the history of kimchi and come to find out the Chili’s were brought from Mexico and they grew them in the royal gardens hundreds of years ago. It’s so amazing to see that even in small ways we are more connected then what meets the eye. I loved this episode and how descriptive the dads were. And they enjoyed it too!
True. Long time ago kimchi didn't have much color--it was basically napa cabbage that was preserved with salt along with some aromatics. The chili was introduced to Korea by Mexican traders and eventually found its way into kimchi, along with many other Korean dishes. Koreans call bread "pang," very similar to the sound of the spanish word "pan." This was brought to Korea by either the Mexican, Spanish or Portuguese traders. The Japanese word for breadcrumbs (panko) is also rooted in the word "pan."
@@RinLaHarlequinthere was already a culture of pepper farming in Korea thousands of years ago but it would be around 500-700 years ago that the Koreans would make kimchi spicy. Pepper is kinda endemic in Korea’s flat farmlands
I’ve always said that Mexican people would love Korean food because both our cultures love bold flavors. That’s why it tastes so good when you combine the foods together.
I'm not Mexican nor Korean but love both foods. In the Army I had Mexican friends and did 2 tours in Korea. I also started life out as an Army brat and learned early in life to appreciate foods from other cultures.
I really love how they are so open to trying new stuff, they're honest and polite and have great tastes. I'm a Korean person, and now I really want to try Mexican style pickled onions with my kimbap the next time I have it. Sounds delicious! I usually love them with my pork adobado
one thing as I learned as Mexican-american is that the main staple flavors like savory, spicy, and sour translates perfectly when I had Korean food for the first time. You will enjoy Mexican food very well as the flavors are so familiar
Bro/sis! I'm Korean and I LOVE Mexican food! It's a must try! When I was in elementary school, I had a Mexican friend who asked if I ate Mexican food before. I said I love Taco Bell and I eat it often. He gave me this face as to say HOW DARE YOU call Taco Bell Mexican food. Then his mom made me a burrito at his house and omagawwwsh..... I was enlightened. I was in 3rd grade but the grown up taste of cilantro, lime, and onions with the meat made sense to me.... pallete well beyond my age was awakened that day. When I got older and visited Cali, another one of my friends recommended this Taco truck a distance from his place. I remembered the awesomeness of Mexican food. I now live on the west coast and Mexican cuisine is a staple I need at least once a week. Sorry. Comment got a bit long lol but hey! That's how much I love Mexican food and recommend you try it!👍
@@user-vw3ml3de8yThat's crazy lol i have a similar history with Mexican food--growing up my best friend was Mexican and his mom would always cook for me as if I was her own child. Such an amazing and warm culture, even to this day-nearly 3 decades later- i miss her and her wonderful cooking.
In case you curious about how to prepare the onions, generally you just cut the onion in thin slices and cover them in freshly squeezed lemon juice, add salt, (sometimes pepper, or other spices as oregano or dry chilli flakes, but is not necessary, more like personal taste) and wait for one or two hours, and they ready to eat^^
That’s most Latino parents. My mom is Latina (Dominican/Colombian)and my friends freaking love her same with my brothers friends. It doesn’t matter if you just ate she will still put a plate a food in front of you. And she is a hair stylist so she always offers my friends free haircuts.
As a native Korean I loved watching this video. Just to add, the flavor profile of many Korean dishes (both main and side) are deliberately one-sided and unbalanced because they are meant to be eaten together. If you go to typical Korean restaurant they will serve you 6-15 side dishes for FREE when you order 1 main dish (usually a family size hot pot). Kimchi and Danmuji are like ketchup - they are on every table by default and packed into every delivery order. Plus almost every dish is meant to be enjoyed with rice including those Japchae noodles. Just like the Spicy Ricecakes are eaten with Assorted Fried Veggies and Korean Blood Sausage, never by itself.
My older Korean relatives and friends LOVE Mexican food. I think Koreans and Mexicans have a lot of similarities! Family dynamic, upbringing, and taste buds!
I am Korean living in Texas, and I find a lot of Koreans like Mexican food and a Mexicans like Korean food. I also know several couples where one is Korean and the other is Mexican. So there is probably a lot of truth to this.
@@desktopkitty Im also Korean who grew up in Texas, I like making "Korean tacos"- Dwaeji Bulgogi or regular beef bulgogi with cilantro, onions on a flour tortilla with a squeeze of lime juice. Or making Fajitas with Kalbi.
Although hard to find real Mexican foods in Seoul, the majority of Koreans express their satisfaction with Mexican foods even at their first exposure. I believe both Korean and Mexican cuisines are very heavy in spices and share similar ingredients with similar climate - making them approachable even without prior knowledge. I almost never find any fellow Korean not liking real Mexican tacos as long as cilantro's not there. Cilantro aroma is probably the biggest show stopper for Koreans because we just don't have Cilantro growing in Korea.
I’m a bit of a Mexican food snob having grown up in California. I was not expecting good Mexican food in Korea, but I went to a restaurant in Itaewon (can’t remember the name) and really loved the food there. The tacos were delicious, and I also got something like carne asada fries with kimchi that was bomb
Considering this format is like a thousand times removed from it's originator, 100% you gotta keep those Papahs cause they will make this channel live or die
My mother is Korean and I grew up on this stuff, I love videos like these! No one should feel bad if they find the texture of japchae strange, I've had it my entire life and can only enjoy it in small amounts at a time because the texture can become off-putting even fo me. Also I'm super glad you had them eat the kimchi WITH something, instead of just alone! It's a strong dish, anyone would be harsh on kimchi the first time if there was nothing else to temper the intensity. Great video!
Dude these Dad's rock, I thought the cold noodles would really throw them off but all liked it. MX and KR Mix well in terms of food and even a lot of cultural aspects.
Nothing beings me more joy than watching people of my culture, my heritage enjoying other cultures foods! Keeping bringing these men back they did a wonderful job describing and explaining everything 👏🏼
These people are Californians. They speak English, better than many white people who assume that they cannot speak English! We Hispanics are mostly bilingual; some of us speak many more languages too.
Hello, I'm Korean, and I loved watching you guys trying Korean food. Great and honest feedback on how you experienced the new flavors. Here is a suggestion for you to try something else, if you like Menudo. Try a soup dish called "Neh Jang Tang" It translates to "organ soup" It's made with a rich beef bone broth. This is my hangover cure.
I like raw kimchi, but I definitely understand some people have trouble with it. But if you fry it up with some rice or even with potatoes or something like that, it's absolutely amazing. I usually fry it up with potatoes and onions. It's almost like Korean hillbilly fusion loooool
@@jpbaugh I think they meant that dried anchovies are used to make the sauce for the kimchi. That is real common in most kimchi recipes. It is very salty and obviously there is some flavor of salted fish in the sauce, but it isn't fishy tasting or smelling and they don't leave large anchovies in. They aren't actually using chunks of fish or whole fish in place of radish or cabbage, which that comment might have sounded like. The vegan who complained about it may have an issue with an animal product used in making the kimchi. Some vegans cannot handle even the thought of an animal product in their food.
love how vicente still ventured into trying kimchi with the bulgogi despite initially saying he doesn't like it on it's own. Would love to see them try korean desserts in the future!!
have them try indian food next! they would probably love it, all my friends from mexico in san diego loved the indian place i brought them to, much love
Yep a way to preserve food in the days before refrigeration. Most human pathogens couldn't survive something so salty or something so far outside our body's ph. Same idea in some ways with spicy foods being so common in the tropics. That acidity is not something many microbes do not like.
yes! I teach in Korea and when I introduce myself to my students or they ask about my culture's foods, I always bring up curtido because they're so similar and are both eaten like side dishes. 😆
Now we need some Mexican-Korean fusion! These dads are spot on like for sure pickled onions in Kimbap that sounds awesome. I can’t believe I’ve never tried tajín on mu before!
as a korean, this is so sweet! for the papa that didn't like the kimchi--try cooking it next time!! pan frying it changes the flavor completely. try it cooked with fried rice.
These dads are cool, I loved how receptive they were to trying the different flavors and textures. Also, they were great at describing their likes, dislikes, and challenges with eating the food presented to them
For kimchi its alw a hit or miss depending on how it was made and how long it ferments for. And ofccc personal taste. Thats why i love it, such a diverse side dish
On a side note from the topic of the video, these actually really help me to descern what the guys are saying with their different accents. It's another level than Spanish class.
Both the mammah's and papah's were so kind and cool sharing in this culture, it was so nice to see! :) I think Mexican and Korean people have similar ways of approaching cooking.
I really loved this…being raised Mex. These dad’s reminded me of Uncle’s and my older cousins ❤ I loved how they explained the flavors and also how polite they were! My son and I recently started to make kimchi at home because we love it so much…my daughter tried it on her bean burrito even lmao 🤣 I freaking love Korean food and hope to visit someday to have street food 🍲 my dream 😴 🇰🇷🍜
I’m glad that both Mamah and Papah have tried Korean food but I think they would have a grand time at a Korean BBQ restaurant I know my mom did and so when the mood hits her we would go to the closest Korean BBQ restaurant near us which in my case is Goku Korean BBQ and Hot pot just seeing her enjoy the food always made my day (by the way my mom is from Puebla, Mexico 🇲🇽 and when I send pics of my mom just enjoy food of different cultures to my grandparents they tease her about it later and my mom’s response is that it’s my fault which honestly I take full responsibility and I regret nothing 😂)
❤ respecting all their comments and feedbacks here. Working in a kitchen with lot of Mexicans and latino/Latina, I can't truly get a sense if they enjoy korean food if I were to whip a dishes for them. Some dishes that were showcased here are standalone dishes, while side dishes are literally palate cleanser or something to add on with other dish experience. For example, I've made huge batch of korean fried chicken pickled radish that everyone were complaining about how it smell, and when they ate it with fried chicken, they ask me to make more 😅
Mexican and Southern/Soul food have always been my favorites. Been getting a lot more into Korean and Vietnamese past 3 years. Love it! We make a variety of noodles andsoups at home along with Boon "Pork noodle salad"
If you are in Los Angeles, hit up Western Avenue. Gol Tong for chicken, Anko for dessert, shaved ice and stuffed fish bread,(It is really a sweet waffle that looks like a fish. No fish involved), but there are SO many great restaurants on Western. Just about any of them will be pretty great.
That’s the thing with kimchi. As a non-Korean person, you might think that the kimchi alone is bad but good when mixed with something else. After a while, you start to like kimchi by itself.
Have been binge watching these guys lately and I'm sure these are some really classy dudes. Even in the face of something foreign, they demonstrate thoughtfulness and comportment. Excellent role models and I will be trying to emulate their behaviors. Great videos, thanks!
As a Korean dude who grew up in Brownsville, TX (5 min from the border), I learned super early that Mexican people love Korean food and vice versa. The flavor profiles are similar in so many ways. Birria/yumsotang, menudo/yukgaejang are examples that come to mind. Also, I'm surprised to see that they enjoyed the nengmyun. I love it but I get that it's different from what most people are used to.
I remember one time when I was in Korea, my family and I visited one of the street side diners where tteokbokki was being served (this is incredibly popular as street food/diner food), the person running the diner has a secret where they'd use pumpkin to sweeten the dish wish absolutely took it to the next level flavor wise.
Korean food is one I grew up eating, my mom always badmouthed the kimchi but she likes it now. The secret is shown here and goes even further. You'll get bored with the bulgogi/kalbi and the kimchi saves the day. If you talk to older Koreans, they say that even the sweetness of the meats gets immature("candy") for them and they start liking it with less and less seasoning as they get older. You'll be taking random bites out of the kimchi jar soon..just keep it clean, fermented foods are sensitive. Great video!
LOL, hey! Thats me! I am also a Mexican Dad...married to a Chinese woman from Beijing. I love all Asian food. Korean is good for sure with the heat. I prefer Sichuan Style Chinese however!
WOW if the dads won Oscar awards for describing the dishes as seen on screen the Moms would smash that way over the top to get more Oscar awards too epic.
Man, this just makes me so happy that they're trying something new, then having them try some items with another, and they find out that it makes it into an entirely different taste. Keep going! Honestly, for Mamah! or Papah! (or both), have them try different kinds of pierogis. Whether if they're frozen by Mrs. T's, or if you know of an orthodox church nearby that serves it on certain days, I think it would be fun. If you look past the dough, these can be pretty simple to make with different fillings. There are even dessert versions with blueberry or cherry filling. Traditional fillings are cabbage, potato, cheese potato, cabbage and potato (?) and rarely, a meat filling. Any research you do pairs them with sour cream, applesauce or fried onions or mushrooms, but it's something I think that people would get on board with. Seguir avanzando Papah! y Mamah!
Which country should they try food from next? 🌏🌎
Colombia! With love from a fan over there!❤❤❤❤❤❤
Italy
indian food next!
Thailand
you should have them try European food would love to see their reactions. amazing videos by the way all ways make me
laugh!

i agree, very descriptive of the foods
Very impressed by the quality of the reviews by all
Agreed 😊
The men did a really good job describing the dishes.
The BIGGEST compliment here was, “this one doesn’t need Tapatío” :)❤
I'm guilty for liking this comment to get it to *666 likes*
But I wholesomely agree, Tapatío is a must to have on tap.
@@th3thiiird3y3 nah Valentina should be on tap

Nothing needs Tapatío, there’s better hot sauces like San Luis, Botanera, Valentina…..
i love how the dads didnt really say anything negative even when they didnt like it. more episodes with these respectful kings plz.

The second señor always talk like its just a little ♥️ “esta pequeñito, poquito, saborsito, arrozito, sabrosito”
I am in love with the way they describe the food. They know their flavors
It's hard to impress Tiberio, but Korean food is his kryptonite. Looking forward to the next video!
This video genuinely made me smile ❤️ It was great how open minded they approached the food AND enjoyed it. Wanna watch more from this channel.
On a side note from the topic of the video, these actually really help me to descern what the guys are saying with their different accents. It's another level than Spanish class.
It feels wholesome to see people trying new foods for the first time😃 Very happy to see the dads enjoying Korean food
Would love to see them try korean snacks and drinks!! ☺️
I was hoping they tried a pepper dipped in ssamjang, or just ssam altogether! Pair it with a Milkis or something lol
Both the mammah's and papah's were so kind and cool sharing in this culture, it was so nice to see! :) I think Mexican and Korean people have similar ways of approaching cooking.
I’d love to try their food the fact they’re open and describe the flavor and are genuinely happy makes me love this video 👍👍👍
I really loved this…being raised Mex. These dad’s reminded me of Uncle’s and my older cousins ❤ I loved how they explained the flavors and also how polite they were! My son and I recently started to make kimchi at home because we love it so much…my daughter tried it on her bean burrito even lmao 🤣 I freaking love Korean food and hope to visit someday to have street food 🍲 my dream 😴 🇰🇷🍜
Please have them try Vietnamese food! I would love to see them try it based on how open they were in this video!
I’m glad that both Mamah and Papah have tried Korean food but I think they would have a grand time at a Korean BBQ restaurant I know my mom did and so when the mood hits her we would go to the closest Korean BBQ restaurant near us which in my case is Goku Korean BBQ and Hot pot just seeing her enjoy the food always made my day (by the way my mom is from Puebla, Mexico 🇲🇽 and when I send pics of my mom just enjoy food of different cultures to my grandparents they tease her about it later and my mom’s response is that it’s my fault which honestly I take full responsibility and I regret nothing 😂)
That's so sweet! :)
❤ respecting all their comments and feedbacks here. Working in a kitchen with lot of Mexicans and latino/Latina, I can't truly get a sense if they enjoy korean food if I were to whip a dishes for them. Some dishes that were showcased here are standalone dishes, while side dishes are literally palate cleanser or something to add on with other dish experience.
For example, I've made huge batch of korean fried chicken pickled radish that everyone were complaining about how it smell, and when they ate it with fried chicken, they ask me to make more 😅
Mexican and Southern/Soul food have always been my favorites. Been getting a lot more into Korean and Vietnamese past 3 years. Love it! We make a variety of noodles andsoups at home along with Boon "Pork noodle salad"
I love Papah! was eagerly waiting for their next video. Let them try Belizean Food (Belize 🇧🇿) ❤
If you are in Los Angeles, hit up Western Avenue. Gol Tong for chicken, Anko for dessert, shaved ice and stuffed fish bread,(It is really a sweet waffle that looks like a fish. No fish involved), but there are SO many great restaurants on Western. Just about any of them will be pretty great.
Lol giving them kimchi straight up as first timers, that's hardcore.
Ikr lol
the way one of the dads appologized after trying the kimchi warmed my heart😭❤ he seemed so sweet!
Watching this makes me think of how I used to cook Korean food for my Mexican friend when we lived together and she kept calling it Korean menudo 😂
My dad is Mexican and my mom is Korean. I love these videos. These dads were very polite and it was great seeing them enjoy the food.
Please guys! Try Colombian food next! Is so comforting and delicious! Native colombian aporoved!🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤
That’s the thing with kimchi. As a non-Korean person, you might think that the kimchi alone is bad but good when mixed with something else. After a while, you start to like kimchi by itself.
Italian Korean and Mexican are my all time favorite foods❤❤ viva Mexico 🎉
These guys were awesome. No drama just honest opinions. Also appreciate the chance to practice my Spanish, gracias señores
As a Korean, Danmuji(pickled radish) is actually Japanese food. It was first made by a monk named Takuan Soho(1573~1645).
Have been binge watching these guys lately and I'm sure these are some really classy dudes. Even in the face of something foreign, they demonstrate thoughtfulness and comportment. Excellent role models and I will be trying to emulate their behaviors. Great videos, thanks!
Just came upon this video...THANK YOU DADS for giving us your honest opinions...Don't feel as intimidated to go to a Korean restaurant now😊
As a Korean dude who grew up in Brownsville, TX (5 min from the border), I learned super early that Mexican people love Korean food and vice versa. The flavor profiles are similar in so many ways. Birria/yumsotang, menudo/yukgaejang are examples that come to mind.
Also, I'm surprised to see that they enjoyed the nengmyun. I love it but I get that it's different from what most people are used to.
My uncles would be like "Ta bueno." "Buen sabor." "Bueno" "Gracias" *men of few words* 🤣
I remember one time when I was in Korea, my family and I visited one of the street side diners where tteokbokki was being served (this is incredibly popular as street food/diner food), the person running the diner has a secret where they'd use pumpkin to sweeten the dish wish absolutely took it to the next level flavor wise.
Korean food is one I grew up eating, my mom always badmouthed the kimchi but she likes it now. The secret is shown here and goes even further. You'll get bored with the bulgogi/kalbi and the kimchi saves the day. If you talk to older Koreans, they say that even the sweetness of the meats gets immature("candy") for them and they start liking it with less and less seasoning as they get older. You'll be taking random bites out of the kimchi jar soon..just keep it clean, fermented foods are sensitive. Great video!
LOL, hey! Thats me! I am also a Mexican Dad...married to a Chinese woman from Beijing. I love all Asian food. Korean is good for sure with the heat. I prefer Sichuan Style Chinese however!
4:42 Thats genius! It only makes sense right guys!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
WOW if the dads won Oscar awards for describing the dishes as seen on screen the Moms would smash that way over the top to get more Oscar awards too epic.
Adoro la voz de arturo! Es como un dulce a mis oídos 😮
Love this!❤ my dad would’ve just said, “yah it’s good.” No further explanation! And they seem super sweet!
I love Korean food, I'm so glad they enjoyed it too! Tteokbokki might be my favorite.
dads are so wholesome man i love em
Man, this just makes me so happy that they're trying something new, then having them try some items with another, and they find out that it makes it into an entirely different taste. Keep going!
Honestly, for Mamah! or Papah! (or both), have them try different kinds of pierogis. Whether if they're frozen by Mrs. T's, or if you know of an orthodox church nearby that serves it on certain days, I think it would be fun. If you look past the dough, these can be pretty simple to make with different fillings. There are even dessert versions with blueberry or cherry filling. Traditional fillings are cabbage, potato, cheese potato, cabbage and potato (?) and rarely, a meat filling. Any research you do pairs them with sour cream, applesauce or fried onions or mushrooms, but it's something I think that people would get on board with. Seguir avanzando Papah! y Mamah!
Mexican and Korean are two of my favorite cuisines, interesting to see Mexican dads eating korean food
Filipino Food and Jollibee should try too🇵🇭
ummmmmmmm.. by FAR the best commenters. They could do this for a living lol
Man I wish I had a Mexican Dad...
3:58 yes you can. The one mixed with spices is called DanMooJi MooChim
I’m sitting here with my Costco tub of kimchi watching this.
