    It certainly looks like the recipe. I’m sure most Korean folks would add more seasoning. This looks rather basic.

    You are very clever, Veronica! I have never made bagels before. ^__^

    What a wonderful post! God, I miss Korea. I really hope to get out there again next year.

    I totally agree with the first four items on your list. I think my #5 would have to be the lively, energetic and eager to please Korean children. I really loved being with them. I guess that’s one of the reasons why I want to go back to teach English. They were not well-behaved angels all the time (Confucius’ teachings were not ingrained in their heads!)but they made me smile and they were eager to learn. What more can a teacher ask for?

    And, of course, there are some very important Korean people and wonderful friends that I had to leave behind. My soul wants to return to Seoul!

    Okay, I’m happy to agree to disagree with those who like Andrew Zimmern and his type of presentation. No surprises that I wont be rushing to You Tube or my television to see more of his programmes (yes, I live in the UK and I think his show is on over here on satellite TV).

    I’m with stanford on this one. And Britain has been going through a change for some time, too (so, no, I don’t eat fish and chips, mushy peas and pies!). Asian food is very welcomed over here but Korean food is still a mystery especially in Scotland. Maybe I can do something about that! ^}__^

    Soko2usa said: I think he’s doing less of jading people against the more exotic ethnic foods and more showcasing it and showing also that there’s nothing wrong with it and that a person should keep an open mind.

    If that were true, then why did he say within the opening 25 seconds that Korean food is ‘stinky, foul, fermented, horrifying, scary, and “a freakshow in a bowl.” This does not encourage open mindedness. In fact, it will further perpetuate that Korean food is full of weird foods that no one in the West would want to taste (unless you are an egotistical American male).

    I find his words offensive. Sure, there’s food that people in the Western world are going to find weird, however, there are a lot of foods in Korea that are delicious and habit forming and, personally speaking, I will look towards Maangchi for my inspiration, NOT Andrew Zimmern.

    Oh, and Andrew Zimmern’s ego is probably bigger than his genitals.

    Okay, I’m a white person. Put me on TV and I will tell the world I love eating kimchi and there’s nothing wrong with it! But, you know, kimchi is only a small fraction of the delicious food coming out of Korea! ^__^

    Wow! Sounds good, actually, and the pictures on the link look really delicious. I’m not terribly keen to eat dog but I’d eat goat. Does that make any sense?
