I believe that environmental factors greatly influence human's lifestyle, culture, thoughts, cloth, and food.
Korea has a lot of mountains more than 70% of land mass. The mountain chain starts from Mt. Baekdo located between China and NK. It goes down to south along the east coast. And it turns to west at the end.
That's why east side of mountain chain has the steeper slope than that of the west. Yeongseo(west part of back born of the mountains) has more 300 ml precipitations than east because of mountain blocks.
Korea has 4 seasons- Spring, Autumn is wonderful ! not so hot, not so cold while l feel myself swimming in the hot pot during Summer And it is so cold and dry during winter.
Which causes that Korean have developed "Fermented food" - For instance, Kimchi, Soybean paste, salted fish and so on.
One more factor would be a reason that Korean regard good food as preventive medicine. You are what you eat. !!
Korea has 3 side seas, mountains, rivers, and fields. Brilliant Korean have tried a thousand of recipes wide ranging from boiling born to take nutrition (protein) and getting rid of poison from the herb on the heat. (bracken)
Basically, Korean food is healthy food. Although Sometimes foreigners get crazy when people eat raw octopus or beef or maybe silkworm and so on.
If you really want to try unique Korean food, why don't you go to Gwangjang market in Seoul?
First come, First served !! The market is crowded all day long. Once you find the unoccupied seat. You may have it. Strangers become friends over food.
Dumpling, handmade noodle, specifically l love hand pull dough noodle. less $5 for 8 pieces of dumpling(meat or kimchi).
Dried fish - we call it Gulbis. If you pronounce it reverse, the meaning gets Bigul which means "unmanly".
The name satires King Seonjo who left his people behind in 16 C.
According to unofficial history, he loved this. Since that moment, people twisted its pronunciation and call it. "unmanly" You will have another chance to know more than historical wars and neighboring rivals. Anyway! dried fish!!
This is Meongye from the sea. It has 2 types. One with rough and bumpy skin(farmed) - usually yellow one. Another is violet color(natural one- more expensive)
It is good with Soju- Korean whiskey. - sea squirt.
Sliced raw beef coated with sesame oil.
The central egg yoke will make it be soft and have flavor with the meat.
Displays are fermented food and salted fish. Garlic stem, sesame leaf, anchovy, sliced and dried radish, and seaweeds whatever you name it.
Mung bean pancake is one of the items there that you must try. For your flavor, options are seafood, meats inside and plain one.
Porridge- plain, red bean, abalone, pumpkin, vegetable and so on. The most right one is Ddeokbokgi & Eomuk - spicy rice cake and fish cake. You have 3 different levels of spicy. Just normal one, middle spicy one and super duper spicy(we call it atomic bomb taste)
This is food material of Bibimbab( rice mixed with vegetables )
A variety of pork's parts are being sold. Interesting ~!!
Blood sausage is made with vegetable, blood, sticky rice and glass noodles inside of the intestine. The nearest is chicken's feet - spicy
Ginseng is the most famous product in Korea. 6 years old has the best efficacy.
It has hundreds of items ranging from candy to cosmetics. According to research, Korea ginseng has more Saponines than those of any other countries.
To maximize the efficacy of Ginseng, our ancestors steamed and dried it 9 times.
If you want more information, you can have any tour package.
Then you will be a doctor of Ginseng by the tour guide or presenter of the shop.
GPS doesn't have compulsory shopping.
Do you have any idea of this? It is cod. one of favorite fish stew to me.
Those are traditional snacks - Chestnut, Dried persimmon, Dried seafood(squid, filefish, octopus and so on)
Besides, You should try one more food item. That is Mayak- Gombak.
It is so addictive that you can not stop it until you finish all.
Everybody can be friends by sharing a glass of Makgeolli in the green bottle.
Feel real Korean food!
