In Korea, we have this misconception that you ought to have pancakes on a stormy day. I understand, it might seem insane!

So our body desires us to raise the sugar degree by consuming some carbs, and also Koreans occurred to select pancakes. Most likely that’s due to the fact that our mum made pancakes for us on a stormy day and also our mind remembers this!
