Belated posts: FOOD. FOOD. FOOD.

Another forgotten post:


     I reallly should have written this post ages ago.  Because what is the first thing everyone, even the Koreans, wants to know?  "HOW DO YOU LIKE THE FOOD?"  (Seriously, even my Korean professor asked us!)

    Well, you tell me.

Korean fruit is better than your fruit.  So sweet! So juicy! (Wish I had a picture of the mangos and giant apples to show!)

Perhaps a bit odd, but still tasty.  (Refer to Foiled Again for more info on this and the following foods.)

I have maybe 1/4 left of the quince tea.  It's been good to my own and other friend's sore throats. 

Cute candy, of course! (From White Day)

Jok-bal!  Ok, so the meat in this is technically from the pig's hoof.  But it is delicious and tender nonetheless.  And the noodles and lettuce are delicious, too.

No, these are not Korean. We made them at a professor's apartment. Biscuits and jam!

And last, but certainly not least, jimdok.  Otherwise known as a late night snack, take-out dinner, foreigners' favorite food... (meat!!!)

I'm pretty sure an entire chicken is in this thing - neck, heart... (ok, maybe not some of the other organs) - but it is a lot of work picking meat off with chopsticks!



Of course, there's kimchi.  But, I may or may have not gotten a picture of it, since it's so normal that I never really thought about it... Yummy fermented cabbage!

And bibimbop. Still a favorite.  Hoping to get some at a local Korean restaurant this summer (or make my own with Lauren?)

And mmmm meat.  Bulgogi, cheese galbi, samgalpsal, fried chicken (different and better than American fried chicken).

OK, so maybe I got sick of the lack of variety or escape from Korean food of Korean fusion foods for four months, but I'm going to miss not having the option and variety to HAVE it, too!


(But, I did find a recipe for jjimdok already!)
