There've been some comments on how certain Westerns wouldn't be able to eat Korean food. And I must admit, there are items that I would be very unwilling to try, but most of the food is simply amazing!! Amazing if you like spicy!! and are ok with most of your meals containing more cold items than warm. Soup is always warm, and most times always spicy. Meat is usually warm, especially if you go to a restaurant that has coal burners in the middle of the table and you do the cooking yourself, BBQ style.
Here's a look at some of the food we had one day (after hiking Mt. Geumjeong-san). This doesn't even show all the food we ate or the meat, but you can get an idea of how many side dishes they bring out for you.
After the meat is cooked you place it in a lettuce wrap and add anything on the table! You can add one item, you can add two, add everything in multiples if you want!! There doesn't seem to be a wrong way to eat a meal like this. And... it's SO good!!
For a more in depth look at Korean food, I highly recommend that you check out Aeri's Kitchen and try to make at least one dish! She keeps it simple - nothing too crazy or scary on her site - she won't ask you to eat octopus! but you can buy it in the fish markets!! Maybe after a few more months I'll give crazier dishes a try! For now I'll stick to what looks and is safe!!
