Food

Alright everyone keeps asking me about food here and I can't say I'm an expert on it yet because I have been somewhat hermit-like this past week...until last night, but more on that later.

The main Korean staple, other than rice, seems to be kimchi, which is cabbage that has been steamed and has hot sauce on it, tho the hot sauce just tastes like Tabasco to me. And it is everywhere, like a full aisle in the grocery section, it reminds me of Tim Tams in Australia. My verdict is still undecided on whether I like it or not, but people say I will become addicted to it.

I have not seen dog anywhere on menus but I'm told that people do eat it, mainly older people. Nobody I have met has tried it and I don't plan to. If you are that curious about it you will have to come try it for yourself (you can sleep on my floor).

It is typical when you go into bars that they bring you munchies, last night there was one dish that looked like cockroaches (my most dreaded bug of all!) and they said I had to try one, when I said what I thought it looked like they told me I was close, it was silkworm larvae *shudder*. Everyone said I had to try at least one, so I said when Lorne's wife, Marianne, tried one, I would try one, which is going to be my answer for anything I don't want to do because Marianne doesn't like anything. One of the girls who we were out with has been here three years and she said they taste just like dirt, so I don't know why anyone would want to eat that, much less as munchies at a bar.

Today is my first time venturing to the grocery store on my own so more on food later!
