I'm Korean-American and I grew up hating Korean food! The only Korean food I would eat growing up was omurice, which is basically just fried rice in an omelet. Korean food is a lot of soups, stews, and spicy stuff, and I'm not a big soup person and I have always had no tolerance level for spice. (Yes, it's true, I don't eat kimchee)
Now that I'm an adult, I really love some Korean food dishes, but it's still not my absolute favorite ethnic cuisine. But while pregnant with my second, I had crazy cravings for bibimbap (mixed rice bowl with veggies) and now it's probably THE favorite food of both my kids. They both LOVE Korean food.
I still can't stand dduk, though! That's what Koreans eat for dessert, when they DO eat dessert, other than fruit. It's a sticky, thick sweet rice cake and there are many forms... I pretty much don't like any of them!

. Now I hardly ever eat Korean food and rarely crave it. I want LO to love Korean food but she only likes the mild soups, rice, dried seaweed, dried squid, and bean sprouts. She is sensitive to spicy and salty foods so she's not crazy about it like some kids are. I'm going to keep exposing her though bc I want her to love it like I did growing up
