Bibimba = Chocolate Popsicle?

I'm sick with a headache so I know I'm not supposed to, but I'm on the internet watching some Japanese drama.

To protect privacy I shouldn't say the title.
It's Japanese with English subtitles.

Anyway, one part's lines were:

"What do you want to eat?"
"I want bibimba!"

Bibimba (or Bibinba) is a Korean dish with rice and veggies & ground meat.
What makes it good is the hot sauce.
It's served with the rice on the bottom, topped with the ingredients, but you're supposed to mix it all up before you eat it.
The term "bibim" means to "mix" and "ba" is "rice."

They serve it on Korean Air whenever I go to Japan.
This is why I choose Korean Air.


Anyway, in the English subtitle it said:
"What do you want to eat?"
"I want a chocolate popsicle!"

Hee hee.

That's funny.

And that's what happens when you don't have a script in front of you when translating.
