they took our spices, but not our tastebuds. in this episode, we discuss the duality of being kids of migrants - why do we love our kadhi chawal so much? we believe all white people can do better, starting with masterchef australia. we realise we learnt nothing well, not our mother tongues, and not our privilege. but we are here to learn, and to teach you. we ramble on, drink water, and do many professional things.
imp note: we have intentionally said 'culture' 8000 times to support your drinking games.
no matter how much you learn, there is always more.
