 Along the path to the Buddhist temple at Chompyeonsa, there are many small vending stalls proffering every Korean delicacy under the sun--including, yes, tree roots! You don't eat them whole or in a stir fry. They are brewed into a tree tea of sorts. You can see the bottles of liquid in the right of the picture!

Looking forward to cooking lessons and sampling when you get home but I'll pass on the tea from roots and the coffee.

That's fascinating, did you try some? Can't imagine customs would let you get away with smuggling one of those in your suitcase!!!? Leave a Reply. | Kate and a Hotplate
