Harp: Yeah, and we’re also going to talk about comfort food.
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…

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!
