Episode #16: Lose Taste or Lose Your Native Language

from Overthink This!

In this episode, the dilemma is both emotional and practical: would you rather be able to speak and understand all languages fluently, but never speak your native language again, or lose the ability to taste any food or drink?What starts as a “this is easy” dilemma quickly turns into a conversation about family, identity, culture, parenting, growing up between languages, and how much taste really matters when food is tied to comfort and memory.
