The dog the Koreans use gives them a unique taste.

That almost looks like a fetal pig. I wonder if they got this from a late term pregnant sow that was slaughtered.

It’s funny: there were a lot more types of bread in Boise than here in CO. I’d love to get a hot roast beef and cheddar on pumpernickel, but it’s just not available here.

It’s probably hard to find a pita pocket full of sprouts, tofu, and organic heirloom tomatoes in Boise.

Used to be. Don’t hear many good things these days.

I don’t know the age of the pig but they are common here in Spain. They are popular because they fit on a standard-sized grill.

I don’t like to adulterate cuisines.

You should see what they put on pizza in Italy.

If you haven't had Korean BBQ, you're missing out.

“You should see what they put on pizza in Italy. “

I’ve been told that pizza as we know it (PAWKI) was invented in New York.

Besides, the US Men’s Foil Team took the world championship, (unimaginably, incredibly, although the reigning Olympic champion is Italian), so the Italians can just clam up for a while.

An utterly absurd contention. Pizza is documented in Italy going back to antiquity. The difference is that Americans see pizza as some sacrosanct thing with an approved list of acceptable toppings and anything else is some kind of heresy against authenticity.

Italians, on the other hand, see it as a piece of flat bread you put stuff on.

“An utterly absurd contention.”

Just made a quick DDG search.

Apparently, the controversy rages, with large numbers of partisans on each side.

Yes, I watched. Luckily my exploits were epic. I studied for many years with Diana Kennedy....the recognized expert in Mexican food. I flew to her home in Zitacuaro, Michoacan every year and more often to study. We then flew out to other states to cook regional specialties.

Sadly, it has become dangerous to traveling southern Mexico...so it has affected my desire to try certain regions.

Sadly, given our ages [mine in the 70s] and Diana’s [pretty close to 100] ...
