I love food. I have yet to arrive in a country and not enjoy their food (I can't imagine how hard that would be). Korea's food is no exception, I love it. Most (but not all) is spicy and 99% is delicious. Also after spending 2 years eating in Korea it will be hard to go back to normal. Salad is much easier to eat with chopsticks than with a fork, and I am not used to eating anywhere that you don't share your food. Usually here you choose your meal before you go to the restaurant, as all places specialize in only 1 or 2 things. Then you order that specialty, they bring it, usually in a large serving container, or a pot, or if it is bbq on a plate and the grill is in the middle. Then they bring out a million side dishes until at the end of the meal your table looks like this:
Here is some basic galbi (Korean bbq) just starting to cook -- mmmmm.
Below is jjimdalk, one of my favorites, chicken, noodles and vegies cooked in a double boiler -- I need the recipe -- hopfully Xuen can get it for me before I leave.
Below is one of many spicy soups. This one is potato and pork, the meat falls off the bones it is great -- it's also what I had for dinner tonight :) This is how it comes when you order it for delivery, the guy comes back later to pick up the dishes -- what a great system!
This last one is street food. I love the selection and it is all great, except the bondeagi -- silk worm larvae are not my favorite food.
