Strange Korean cuisine

BY ONEIKA RAYMOND

Strange to me, that is. I’m a chicken kinda girl, and not a fan of anything too random or crazy (in my opinion).

We spotted some strange eats in our daily walks around the city. There are tons of street vendors who are always brewing up something. Large, cauldron-like cookware and wide grills were on every corner in Seoul.

In our daily wanderings through the markets we came upon delicacies such as larvae stew, boiled cow liver, and pig snout. Not too appealing to my Western sensibilities, but, to each his own, right?

  • Oh dear God. I would not survive if I had to choose from that menu. Pig snout…larva…unnnngggghhh!

  • Korean cuisine is an experience, never had the larvae, the just smell terrible. I've had live octopus and they have a fish that smells like ammonia and is extremely tough to eat. Also all the stores sell dried squid which is quite smelly. But they have amazing street food, my favorite is hoddoek, it's like a pancake filled with cinnamon, sugar and nuts. It's very popular around this time of year.

    Maybe you will come across the dog soup during your visit. I never had it but I know a few people who did.

  • @tanyaintransition: that's why it's always good to bring some nuts and a package of saltines… just in case.. 🙂

    @kourt: yikes, it smells too?! i can't deal with weird smells…

  • Oh my goodness. Larvae soup? Pig snout? Dog soup?

    *mental note to self: stick to chicken when visiting Korea*

  • ~Hahahaha, we're going to Korea early June, and I definitely won't be eating any of that stuff, YEUCH!!!! My hubby may try some as long as he has hot sauce….LOL!!
