why is this drama localizing a chinese dessert as pumpkin pie . stop localizing food names im begging u . its fucking confusing to grow up thinking a rice ball is a goddamn jelly donut ok we should have left this practice behind a looooong time ago

#jordan talks #especially bc this character is like. i entered a cooking competition based arouns chinese cuisine with a ‘pumpkin pie’#like……. she’s absolutely not meaning a pumpkin pie in the way an english speaker is gonna imagine it #i just dont think food names should be localized THAT much #like you could write ‘chinese pumpkin cake’ instead of just nan gua bing #but like at least…… then you can google it and go oh ok #its like if a kdrama called tteokbokki ‘pasta’ or some shit idk #that anime clip where the girl calls curry ‘pizza’#like :| first of all most of us are more familiar for foreign cuisines now #but second. it just makes everything confusing #at least use english words to describe it in a way that doesnt confuse it with another existing dish #im getting mad at the subtitler as if they have the freedom or salary to even care that much
