Koreans react to Americans eating exotic Asian food

We've seen Americans react to Asian foods, but what happens if we see Koreans reacting to Americans reacting to Asian foods?


YouTube channel KoreanStarTV decided to answer just that question. Showing a group of Koreans reacting to BuzzFeed Yellow's video "Americans Taste Exotic Asian Foods," the viewers gave a variety of reactions to the unique dishes that were shown in the video. For example, despite the fact that chicken feet are consumed in South Korea, only one of the Korean viewers enthusiastically expressed his love for the dish. For the most part, the viewers couldn't help but admire the way the Americans in the video willingly ate the chicken feet, despite how strange and twisted they actually look. 

Natto, a Japanese gooey fermented soybean dish, was the next dish, which was also met with mixed reviews. While some viewers said they didn't mind the taste, one man said that "I feel that I'm going to throw up, too." 


Next up was durian fruit, known for its pungent smell and overpowering flavor. The viewers who were familiar with durian couldn't help but comment on the stench, saying, "It smells like rotten feet," and laughing at the horrified reactions of the Americans. 


The dish of balut, however, drew a unanimous shocked and horrified reaction from the viewers. As the eggshells cracked away to reveal an unhatched bird, viewers exclaimed things like, "Is it possible to eat that?" 


Finally, the familiar Korean dish of sannakji, live octopus, drew cheers. Despite the squirming tentacles, one girl remarked that it was "the easiest dish to try" while someone else remarked "Visit Korea and try to have sanakji here. It's yummy!" However, one girl acknowledged the risky component of this dish, saying, "You could even die while eating this.


At the end of the video, the viewers asked questions such as "Are there any exotic or abnormal dishes in America, too?" They also expressed their respect for the Americans' willingness to try dishes that the Koreans found strange, such as balut, and even curiously wondered out loud what such dishes would taste like. 


Which one of these dishes would you try?
