**What is Taiwanese food, really? **In this episode, Mindy and Joeru explore why it’s so hard to define — and why that’s exactly what makes it special. From Fujian roots to Japanese influence, military village dishes to modern night markets, Taiwanese cuisine is a rich mix of history, creativity, and personal taste. In this episode, we cover: • The multicultural roots of Taiwanese cuisine • Historical and regional influences on “Taiwanese flavor” • How state banquet menus reflect social values • The evolution of Taiwanese dishes in modern life • Our personal “taste of Taiwan” memories 🗣 Listener Challenge: What’s your favorite Taiwanese dish — or one you thought was Taiwanese but turned out to be from somewhere else?
