S2E12: The Joy of Gimbap

Better Moody: The Way Forward

Long before TikTok trends and lunchbox hacks, there was gimbap—a humble Korean seaweed roll that carries more lore than you might think. Born as a traveler’s food, wrapped tight to keep life moving, gimbap has always been about more than what’s inside the rice and seaweed. It’s a symbol of sharing, of journeys, of joy in simple abundance. In this episode, I unwrap the layers—how gimbap became part history, part culture, part everyday comfort, and why I think it deserves its own mythology. By the end, you’ll see why gimbap isn’t just food…it’s lore you can eat.
