I've loved Korean food since I first got there.

I understand kimchi is really good for your gut flora. I’d like to try it sometime but then I remember how bad our house smelled when Mom made sauerkraut.

I was thinking of opening up a North Korean restaurant, wouldn’t have to server any food.

When I was in Korea, a Korean American soldier took me beyond the shops that served soldiers...and to this large open sided tent with people standing at counters around the perimeter. The grill was in the middle. Sort of Korean ‘fast casual’. I have no idea what we ate, but it was really good.

I have never tried Korean food. Actually never lived anywhere there was any to try.

I used to work at a Summer resort which had around 40 Japanese students for around a month. The last day they were there would be Japan Night. They would prepare a Japanese meal for everyone.

Several of the dishes were excellent. I liked the rice balls and the chunks of chicken cooked over a flame on a bamboo spit.

On the other hand, they made something out of seaweed which was awful. I noticed many of the American students backing up to a garbage can and while no one was looking, in would go the seaweed.

Fried kimchi on a hot pastrami sandwich has been invented in my kitchen and it’s real good.

Korean barbeques are becoming popular. Your table has a grill in the middle and an exhaust fan blowing full blast right above it. The servers bring thinly sliced cuts of meat, then you and your party grill ‘em up according to your taste. Yeah, you’re doing your own cooking, but at least you don’t have to scrape off the grill after you’re done. ;)

For a few years, there was a tiny Korean/Cajun joint in my old hometown. Husband Cajun, wife Korean.

Nothing like red beans and rice with a side of kimchi to prepare for a romantic Dutch Oven evening with the Mrs.

"Hagfish are a type of non-vertebrate chordate--not a true fish, but not a true invertebrate. Locally called meokjangeo, or "slime eel," they are eaten only in Korean cuisine--mostly in Korea, but sometimes by Korean expatriates in Japan and California.

Hagfish are chewy, with a softer spinal cord that runs through their back, and have a mild taste, with an unpleasant aftertaste."

Galesburg has a few decent, non-chain, restaurants.

Things have not been economically well there for far too long, sadly.

Isn’t Galesburg where Grant was from. There was a girl from there or near there who visited the before mentioned Summer retreat. She may be the prettiest girl I have ever seen. She came with a church group. At a talent show they put on a little play about Samson. Of course she played Delilah.

Perfect in face and form.

As long as it is spicy and includes octopus and kim-chee it is worth ordering again.

Galesburg is home to one of the best collectible gun stores in the country, Simpson Ltd.. Lugers are their specialty.

I love Korean food. In fact, I made Daegi Bulgogi (spicy pork - my favorite) last night.
