Hello Everyone
First of, I'm super excited to be here😊.This is my first time posting here, but definitely not my last. I had read #Fashtioluwa write up on Korean food and it drew me to this community. Since I'm here, of course I am a K-drama fan. Infact, I am a Korean fan. Let me delve into the main thing " Korean food".
One of the most beloved aspects of Korean cuisine is its communal nature. Meals are often shared, with friends and family gathered around a table filled with various foods and banchan (side dishes). This sharing tradition strengthens relationships and emphasizes the importance of togetherness.
Unlike my country where barbecue is done at one side of the venue of an event and people trail to get some, Koreans cook their own meat at the table (pork and beef) and drink beer. A popular example is soju ( a colourless beer) packaged in a portable bottle taken using small cups and makgeolli sometimes called takju ( a milky olden and present day rice wine) taken using a bowl.
I haven't tasted any of their food and side dishes, but I sometimes imagine myself eating it. I will one day taste one of those , that I know for sure 🌝. If I am even privileged to travel to South Korea, I would love to eat every single food I come across. From their street foods, side dishes, everything!
Watching K-drama and watching them eat has made me realized that each meal carries the following; spicy, sweet, salty, sour and bitter. Dishes like bibimbap, a bowl of rice topped with seasoned vegetables, meat and chili paste. Kimchi the famous fermented cabbage dish, kimchi jjigae (kimchi stew) tteokbokki (spicy rice cakes), bulgogi, and lots more. Do I have a favorite? Not yet. I haven't tasted any yet. Remember?
However, I think their instant noodles might be my favorite cause I love noodles and it's easy to make. I haven't even mentioned their crispy fried chicken. Oh my! I salivate whenever I watch them eating that. If I don't end up eating any of their food, I wouldn't miss eating their Fried chicken.
Thank you for stopping by.
