삼겹살

Ahhh, Samgyeopsal (삼겹살). Imagine huge slices of bacon. But without the curing and salts and all that. Now Imagine a little portable grill on your table. A lady comes up and takes a chunk of pork fat to grease up the grill, puts some kimchi and potatoes on the grill and hands you a plate of pork belly meat.

Yup, you get to cook it. You also get a bunch of side dishes, and sauces for your meat. Oh, and you don't get a knife, you get some scissors and some tongs. For the uninitiated this can be a bit tricky. But don't worry, like most things with Korea, so long as you try a Korean will come save you and cut up your food for you.

Check out the sides in this photo, oh, and can you read korean? Even if you can't, I bet you can guess what kind of pop that is!
