I explained to her that a big American grocery store might have two types of instant noodles and it wouldn’t be anything she knows or like.. I don’t think she gets it.
I’ve exposed her to a weird other universe in our time here, where because of where I live (Little Saigon, SF) and where we were (Alhambra and Monterey Park, biggest destination for modern Chinese immigration today), she thinks our food situation is similar. I had to work really hard to incorporate those elements in my life! (I don’t love big box US grocery stores. I don’t eat any of the things they sell, really)
