Well ... not all of it. Dog soup was palatable, I guess, but I remember one time a little ceramic bowl that was going around the table, and from which everyone was taking something out and eating it, finally got to me so I could see what was in it. Live sand crabs, about the size of my thumb nail. The idea was to "crunch" 'em on the first bite, then chew 'em up and swallow. I swear my first thought was, "If that sucker survives the trip down, I've got a problem!" It was the only thing I passed up while in Korea.
I don't know if you tried it, but as far as I'm concerned, ginseng wine tastes like liquid softball field. Yech!
But plenty of kimbop, yakimandu, and battered, deep fried hot peppers (forget the Korean name), along with the requisite Crown Beer, made for a fine weekend.
Yeah, well put. It tastes just like dirt, not dirty, just dirt!
I drank a lot of OB beer over there. If the bottle was still, you could see the little squirt of formaldehyde they put in as a preservative. We used to light it with a lighter and enjoy the brief shot of flame out of the bottle.
Speaking of flaming drinks, once I saw a US Marine spill a flaming B-52 shot down his chin. I laughed myself silly as his friends frantically slapped his face trying to put it out while he tried to fight back.... LOL!
