Korea's national dish only made it to number 12 and they thought that was worthy of a news item. Sad. I actually had some kimchi yesterday that, by accident, the wife's mother had forgotten to coat in all that red crap and it was surprisingly not bad.

This poll proved nothing but that on-line polls are useless. "The World's Tastiest Dishes" as determined by CNN Go, a site dedicated to the Asia-Pacific region. Did you know that Rain if the most influential person in the world?

Sadly, I have had several friends visit Korea and try the food over the years. They generally try to act kind about it, but most common remarks were:

1. Why is this fatty meat so expensive? (One person remarked that their family gives pieces like it as scraps for the dog to eat).

2. How can they taste it with all of that red sauce?

3. OMG this stinks!

4. Thanks for showing us Korean food, but next, can we try that McDonalds or KFC we saw?

As for me, I like water kimchi, gakdugi, and j-yook.

i just can't get over how absolutely terrible korean food is, when you compare it to every single other country in asia. i border on gluttony whenever i visit a country outside of this place.

Good Korean food is mediocre at best and ridiculously overpriced. There's no way in seven hells Korean food can be considered better than, say, Swiss, French, Indian, Singaporean food, and that's just the tip of the iceberg. Probably on par with the garbage a lot of Americans eat though.

By the way, NETs in South Korea should stop reading the English Chosun Ilbo.

Chosun Ilbo writes low-quality tabloid-like articles, like that kimchi article above.

Is kimchi a dish? I'm not really sure what constitutes a 'dish', but I think it should be something that you can eat as a meal or a snack. Who eats just a bowl of kimchi?
I consider kimchi to be more of an ingredient for use in dishes such as jiggae or fried rice etc, or as a compliment to a meal.

Kimchi is the worst thing I've ever eaten (besides bondagi, I can't spell it but you know, the larva). Although most other Korean foods I really love.
