The Weird, Wild and, Ultimately, Sublime
Well it appears one writer for the NY Times digs Korean food.

| Suddenly, from one corner of the tent came a crash! Bodies and bottles tumbled to the ground, and for a moment all conversation halted. One fallen tippler pulled himself back onto his stool, and a grim-faced waitress rushed over to wipe the blood from his head and bandage the wound. Then it was back to normal. I sipped my beer and plunged my spoon into a bowl of kimchi jigae, a rich stew of pork, tofu and kimchi, the pickled cabbage that is Korea�s national dish. I had been in Seoul 30 minutes, with plans to eat my way through the city, and already, I felt, I was getting to the heart of things. |

| Nice article. The writer should have called me. I would've taken him to a really good 돼지갈비 place near here. We've recently come across a good 닭갈비 place, breaking a year and half long drought. I think both of those belong on any list of good-to-great Korean dishes. |

I see whitey. 
Ah ha... "soju, the Korean spirit made from sweet potatoes." (I was wondering exactly what it is, now I don't have to look stupid and ask) |
