At least in my life, I have seen more women than men who love this “ddong jjigae.”

I really want to do food carts. Usually when I’m at a food cart, I don’t have my camera. Bad habit. Some of us have been talking about doing street food walking tours in Seoul. I’ve done a bit about odeng and the Crab Man. I want to do more.

maryeats.com has a good video on street food.

Hi, I just found your blog after googling “oyster stew” images. You food descriptions are great, images helpful. I’m a foodie too, lived in Korea (Seoul and Namhae Do) for a while and am also from the gulf coast (Pensacola). This is a great site, keep up the good work.
Since I haven’t read through the entire blog, have you explored the food cart issue yet? You know, all the different fish sticks and sticky cakes for snacks? Thanks for sharing your experiences in Korea. It’s has the best food! What I wouldn’t give for some crispy spicy chicken and a cold, cold beer.

yeah, “rotten garbag”. I eventually had to tell him not make any comments when I’ve had the kimchi jar out. he’s been kind enough to oblige me. and i don’t think he’d believe the health benefits of kimchi, though it had crossed my mind to mention it to him. : ) thankfully he loves spicey food though!

It takes a special person to like fermented foods. I wonder if it comes from a genetic survival need of our ancestors. From what I’ve read, some foods supply us with more nutrients in fermented form, along with the obvious benefit of boosting our immune systems.

Ooh, that is a family favorite of ours. It’s so delicious, even if it does smell like feet.
