One of the regualr side dishes, not sure of the name, but it's a green leaf in red sauce, but not kimchi. Anyway, I've been eating this stuff for a long time until one day I was looking closely at it for some reason, and saw that there were tiny (oh, maybe 1/2 the size of a fruit fly tiny) worms crawling around in the stuff. I notify my Korean friend and the waitress, point out the almost-microscopic worms, and they both said, "It's supposed to be that way, silly foreigner! When the worms come you know it is ready to take out of storage and serve for dinner."

Ewww.

Maybe not unusual, but I just had my first black chicken.
I don't know the color when it had feathers, but the meat was marbly black.
It was tougher and more gamey than most chicken, and quite a bit bigger.

I tried to Wiki. My goodness, there are a lot of chicken breeds!

My co-teacher and I were eating at an outside affair one day and he got some of those silk worm things. They smell horrible. He nagged and nagged so I eventually tried one. One bite into it and I was bent over puking my guts out onto the sidewalk. Embarassed Embarassed Embarrassing 'er what???

Mr. Kim never asked me to try one again Laughing

Does TV count? On the fishing channel once they showed a guy combing the seashore for a small lobster/crayfish type thing. He'd pull one out of the sand, rinse it off with bottled water and bite it's hind-quarters off while the thing was still squirming away. Now that's what I call fresh sea food.
