How to do it right


This is a sesame leaf, which has a unique and lovely flavour, with a piece of raw fish, and some spicy bean paste. It is a wrap. We bought a plate of sashimi, -Korean name unknown to me, at the fish market and then went to one of the restaurants there for dinner. We ate a huge plate of the various raw fish, so fresh!

Bandagi!



These are the bandagi, or silk worm larva, that we saw in a big wok being cooked and sold on the street in Seoul. We were surprised when they came to our table as a side dish at the makkali restaurant. We ordered a kimchi pancake, yummy, some makkali, not too bad, and then I had to try one bandagi so that I could get the whole Korean experience. I think they taste like a boiled kidney bean, with the same texture.

the Korean rice wine in prison cups


This stuff is the famous rice wine, makkali. It is served cold in a banged up tea pot, in these tin cups, and is excellent for washing down the silk worm larva called bandagi, as well as getting rid of the taste of bandagi.
