dreaming of korean food...

[lizzyfizzy]

*sigh* we have none in the area and can i just say that if you have never had korean food before...IT IS SO GOOD!!! i love almost all ethnic cuisine, but korean takes the cake for me.

try it sometime. you'll be a believer. YUUUUUMMM-MMMMMMY!

until next time,

I love Korean food too! I'm lucky I live in San Diego now and there's Korean food. I just love the little side-dishes they bring, the kimchee, the pickled cucumbers, tofu... I better go this weekend!

ha ha, Korean food is not high on my fave food list. I prefer Mexican or Italian .

didn't you make Korean food for your DH before?

[digideb]

OMGosh! We had this Korean lady in our church when I was like 10 & she made THE best egg rolls!!! YUMMY!!! Thanks Lizzy, now I want some! LOL

[lauren grier]

I actually don't think I've ever had any korean dishes........

show me some things that *I* would eat.. lol

[lizzyfizzy]

la, you would love it. they actually have TONS of veggie side dishes that make a whole meal on their own. yummmmmy!!!! they also have this dish called bi bim bop, it comes out in a hot pot and it's filled with rice, steamed spinach, mushrooms (a special yummy kind), carrots...etc etc...anyways all these yummy veggies, then it's topped with a fried egg and you pour this spicy (soy)bean paste over it called 'gochu jang'.

korean food gets a bad rap cause people associate it with 'fermented' things. it really is super flavorful and delish! yummo!

never had it before i met dh, now i have been eating and cooking it for almost 12 years now. i actually love it more than dh too! me, my sisters, my kiddos and my parents could eat it everyday.

my fave dish is actually kimchi chigae (kimchi soup). omgah, i could eat it every single day.

I'm with Mimi, Korean food is definitely not high on my list of fave foods which made living there a bit difficult. My DH likes it though. By far the worst thing we encountered in Korea was Peanut Butter Fried Squid at a theme park. Just the smell of it was gag-inducing.

[lizzyfizzy]

PB fried squid...lol! thank God they didn't bring that to the states.

[DawnMarch]

I love Korean food. Not all of it, mind you, but the stuff I DO like, I like a LOT!

[Tracie Stroud]

OK, I was doing good till I got to the pb fried squid.

[lauren grier]

well I regularly eat fermented things willingly anyway.. LOL.. but uh.. PB fried squid.. oye.. LOL

I haven't eaten much (if any) authentic Korean food before, but I love food from other countries as well, so I would probably like the non-sea food stuff. One of my good friends that I have known since I was a little girl is Cambodian and hanging out in her house w/ her mom's cooking was a HUGE highlight of growing up years

whoa, that is all kinds of wrong.

When my sister and I visited Korea many years ago, my sister had such a hard time with the food. By day 5 or so she was begging for American food.

I am somewhat of a picky eater. Korean food has too many weird, unidentifiable things in it. plus too many tiny fishies.

It was a cruel trick of the universe that made my Korean-food-loving DH marry a Korean girl who can't cook Korean food.

Some Korean food is OK. I guess.

I will try anything once...I however have had a really hard time eating any type of foreign food after my husband and I were in a chinese food restaurant and I heard what sounded like someone slaughtering a cat. All you heard was this blood curdling yowl that was unmistakenly cat. I went to the manager and asked what the heck was going on in the kitchen and he denied there was a cat then I said well I heard it when I was in the bathroom and the kitchen is just on the other side of that wall so he says oh one of the workers must have chased a cat out of the kitchen. NOOOOO WAYYY they did something to that cat. Now I dont know what they did but you could tell he was hurt. I might be missing out on a whole lot of yummy foods but everytime I try to eat anything that even remotely resembles chinese food I think of that day and I feel very sick.
