Respecting the Rice

Respecting the Rice
I set the jeyookbokeum on the table and opened up the fridge. "Do you want 우유?" I asked Good Man. Why I said milk in Korean, I don't know. Before he could answer, I answered myself. "That's right, you don't drink milk with rice." I started filling his glass with some water.
"You," Good Man said, pointing at me, "are not respecting the rice when you drink milk with it."
My fiancé is strange.

You should try serving him milk rice sometime, and see what he says.
(Do people call it milk rice in English? Is it rice pudding? I only know the name in German.)

... and yet people from Imsil County would disagree, since they raise dairy cows, they drink milk and yogurt w/ rice all the time.

Milk rice? Rice milk? Rice pudding? Tapioca? I'm not sure which one you mean, Gori.
Terry, he'd probably say that's 'cause they're from the country. Ha ha!

It's pretty much this, I think: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rice_pudding#The_Nordic_countries
Take (whole) milk, rice, and white sugar, and boil until the rice is cooked. Make sure to not boil over, 'cause it's a total bitch to clean up off of a stove. Add cinnamon, berries, sauces/syrups made from berries to taste. Delicious and somehow considered a meal & not just a dessert in northern Germany.

"Respecting rice"? Is that a Korean expression? When I was a little girl, my mom told me to eat every grain of rice "because a farmer had to bend his back ___(forgot exactly how many) times".

Good Man says there's no saying. I think it's just a Good Man thing.
