When we started our new class novel, we learned that the main character of the story is a Korean American who can't stand the smell or taste of kimchee. That is a staple food in every Korean's diet, so her family teases her that she should have her DNA tested!
We decided to find out what she was complaining about and taste kimchee for ourselves. Almost everyone in the class felt brave enough to grab a toothpick and have a taste of the garlicky cabbage mixture. Now that we know what kimchee smells and tastes like, some of us agree with her distaste for the stuff. Others think it tastes pretty good and Julia is overreacting.
Ask your child what he/she thought of their first taste of kimchee!
