“Every time we celebrate a Korean holiday and tradition, we’d eat at my grandma’s house. She can’t help but make at least ten main and side dishes or else she’ll think that she’s starving our family. I would not eat the whole day just so that I can eat two—maybe three—plates of food at dinner. But no matter how much I eat, if my grandma sees me gather my plate and chopsticks to put them in the sink, she’ll always ask me why I haven’t eaten enough.”
