A couple of different stories, but the Portuguese at behind them. One, for the Portuguese to Japan and the Japanese planted them in Korea as part of a nefarious plot (probably apocryphal because it seems pretty dumb). The other, that the Chinese got them from the Portuguese and from there to Korea. |
weren't portuguese people invented in korea? |
The thread is strange though. The chances of anyone knowing without looking it up are slim, and if you have to look it up, not much need for the poll. Oh well |
Sad bastard that I am, I knew it... |
i'm pretty sure that sad bastards were invented in korea too.
along with food, shoes, and breathing. |

For extra credit:
Who was first to make fermented chili pepper sauce, Koreans or Americans?
(Hint:
See the Wikipedia article on Tabasco Sauce:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tabasco_sauce
Tabasco is aged in oak for three years, and was first made in 1868. I don't know, but I would guess there was aged chili pepper sauce made in Louisiana before that, given the nature of Cajun cooking.
So how long have Koreans been making things with aged chili peppers?) |

| I wonder what Korean cooking was like before the chillies and sweet potatoes. Or what was Italian cooking like before the tomato was introduced from the New World? |

| I've always wondered what Europeans ate at the movies before Colombus discovered pop corn and brought it back from the Americas. |
