Soup for the Soul


So, Caroline arrived yesterday and will be with Julian for three weeks. Wanting to introduce her to some authentic Korean cuisine, we went out in search of some Korean bbq. As it was 10 at night on New Years Day, nothing was open. So we went to the first restaurant we could find...BIG mistake.

They served us this soup--and to give them some credit, the broth tasted good after putting every spice on the table in it--the kicker, however, was the "meat" in the soup. This meat was actually intestines, tripe, and god knows what else. Always keeping an open mind when it comes to Korean cuisine is necessary, but this stuff was awful, just terrible stuff.

I thought I had gotten rid of my gag reflex about three meals after being in Korea, but this stuff took it to a whole new level. The problem is I don't know what it was called so there is a decent chance I will get it again in the future. We promptly ordered more beer and soju, and left in search of some pizza. Which we didn't find.
