Food can bring people together—or cause problems when different cultures clash at the table. When a love for spicy street food meets a taste for traditional German dishes, eating together becomes a real adventure. We talk about the fun and challenges of mixing Uyen’s Vietnamese cooking with German food, sharing stories about adjusting to new eating habits and finding dishes we both like. Find out why Uyen avoids insects but loves chicken feet, and how we manage to make different food preferences work in our relationship.
