One of my upper level students has been showing an interest in the nuances of English intonation. There are a few phrases he thinks are particularly funny sounding--among them, "food you eat" is hilarious... I'm feeling too lazy to write any recipes down right now, so instead, here are some photos of "the food you eat" in Korea...
Our favourite Kimbap Nara (essentially, a Korean diner).
Dolsot bibimbap is in the earthenware bowl (dolsot refers to the bowl), and to the right is a roll of kimbap (a little like sushi but with no vinegar in the rice. Kimbap contains interesting fillings--like sweet, pickled daikon, canned tuna and ham!). Banchan is the word for the many side dishes that come with most meals. The obligatory kimchi is in the small dish in the upper right. Gochujang is the red pepper paste in the lower left hand corner. Interesting fact: Gochu (the pointy red pepper from which gochujang is made) refers to the pepper and to a certain part of the male anatomy:)
Jasmine tea.
Spectacular garlic and chili prawns.
Fondue? Yes! There is a little cafe in Chuncheon called Fondue. They make cakes, coffee and platters of goodies to dip in fondue!
Some really stunning coffee at "It's Coffee."
