Maura: Yeah, so potlucks and comfort food, but first we’re going to talk about Canadian food.
Harp: Exactly, but that’s kind of weird because what kind of food is Canadian food?
Maura: Yeah, it’s a really hard topic actually. I remember I was in France, maybe five years ago, and someone there asked me “what is a typical Canadian dish?” And honestly Harp, I couldn’t think of anything.
Harp: Yeah, I’ve been in the exact same situation. The answer that I would give would be poutine…

Of all the podcasts with 'real world' English examples, I like yours the best. Maybe its the fun you put into the lessons. The students can here that in your voices. And they also feel your dedication to what you are doing - it's just not a job you do, but a gift you give to everyone who listens. And while the students like the Lipservice PDFs for all the information it contains, as a teacher I am impressed by the professional effort put into making them. I give the Culips podcast and the Culips crew my highest recommendation, both as a teacher, and a listener.

My comfort food is chicken porridge and nurungji. Nurungji is crust of overcooked rice.
When we boil nurungji with water, it becomes soft and smells good. These are better for sick people, because they aren’t too hard on the stomach.

That sounds interesting and kind of delicious. I remember a friend of mine who made a crust of overcooked rice once and it was so good! I wonder if it was the same as your nurungji.
Thanks for sharing!
