Okay, since I've started the new job, every week some kindhearted individual has taken it upon themselves to give me a big plate of ddeok. I really appreciate the gesture, but I really hate the stuff.

I'm looking for creativity here- what can I do with this?

(keep in mind, I DON'T want to offend anyone.)

Since you have started a new job, did you just get a new home? It is customary to give ddeok to your neighbors when moving in. Giving it all to them and meet the neighbors.

Maybe that's why people keep thinking it's an appropriate present?

Most schools place all their employees in the same building, are you suggesting she give away her ammo? Shocked

Yes, because I don't want to see a bunch of white people having ddeok fights. Wink Rolling Eyes Idea

It could be, but they should have told her what to do with it.

It's like Christmas cake- you're not supposed to EAT it, silly!
Just keep it moving like a hot potato! Cool

Seriously, I miss ddok- especially the semi-fluffy cake-like stuff...
