I've long believed that good food, good eating, is all about risk.
Whether we're talking about unpasteurized Stilton,
raw oysters or working for organized crime 'associates,'
food, for me, has always been an adventure.

Living in Korea is immersing yourself with their culture and most especially their food. Korean food is definitely a class of its own. Not everyone can learn to love it. For me, Korean food is an acquired taste but once you get used to it - you'll definitely fall in love.
Korean BBQ is the most popular dish, aside from Kimchi (fermented cabbage and chilli) and Bulgogi. They use difference cuts of meat - marinated or not and spicy or not spicy. It ranges from beef ribs, pork belly, sausages, and any cut that suits your appetite. At the center of the table, a charcoal grill is placed and you can grill your own meat. The grilled meat can be eaten with a bowl of rice, bowl of steamed fluffy egg or lettuce with raw or cooked garlic, bean paste, chilli - so you can be creative on how you want to eat it. It is best eaten with Kimchi, Kimchi Soup or Bean Soup. Like any other spicy food, it is best paired with beer and a shot of Soju. Soju is the traditional Korean drink - the equivalent of Wine for the French, Sake for the Japanese, Sangria for the Spanish and Vodka for the Russians.
This is our favorite Korean dish and we eat it almost every week at our favourite mom-and-pop restaurant.
