It's called Agu Chim and I agree it's the worst meal I've had in Korea. It tastes like I would imagine how 'Blinky' the three eyed fish from the Simpsons would taste. |
My sentiments exactly. |
The oddest thing about this dish is how fish skin, fish bones, and bean sprouts are so expensive when served mixed with hot pepper paste. |

Bundeggi smells as weird as anything. Tastes like crap too. Soondae actually tastes pretty good.

I like soondae too.
Bulgogi burgers are crap, especially from Lotteria.
I'm not a big fan of jjambong, that stuff you get from Chinese restaraunts. Rubbery squid tentatcles in spicy, oily broth. Wretch. |

Soondae was the worse for me.
I tried everything I could in Korea. I even ate pork which I wouldn't eat in the US. I don't know....it just didn't do it for me...but when I go back...maybe I will try it again.... |

Once I had a watery beef soup that was pretty devoid of any flavour. No matter how much salt or pepper paste I put in, I couldn't make it taste like anything.
The worst part was the gristly bits of grey meat left in the bottom that I decided not to eat. When the waitress saw that I hadn't eaten it, she gasped and my boss' buddy who was dining with us scolded me in Korean. So I was compelled to eat it.
Never again. |

Bondegi is the absolute worst thing I've ever tried in Korea.. (I have yet to try Boshintang and probably won't)..
Jjangjjangmyeon is awesome! I'm going to miss that huge when I go home...
Soondae is alright as well although I don't make a habit of eating it too often... |

I voted Bundeggi despite having never eaten it- the smell alone etc. etc.
I've yet to meet anyone who said they didn't like the taste of Boshintang though, it's just the idea that's so repellent (to some). |

I like it, but it's expensive. |

Galbi-tang is nothing to write to Mum about, and "Cup-O'-Bugs", or Bondeggi is nothing short of an insult.
I'm relatively safe, being a veggie and all, from the worst of the beast. But I must admit you got me laughing with "Random twigs and leaves". Whenever we're broke I joke with wifey that it's "Sticks" for dinner. |

Voted for bondegi. The scent is repulsive.
Don't particularly dislike jjajangmyeon, just really don't understand the fascination with it here. Everybody seems to think it's the greatest thing going, but I find it extremely bland. |

Calbi tang is great if you find good stuff. |
