If I've learned anything from my time traveling, people LOVE sharing their food with people from other cultures, and they absolutely LOVE it when other people enjoy their food.         When either my girlfriend or I are sick, we get Kimchi Jiggae, and last time we went, the Imo running the place was super nice to us, because we told her we like that food when we're sick, and she said it reminded her of her daughter who had moved away and always misses her mother's kimchi jiggae when she is sick.         Last thing these people would want is us sticking to just American food.
