    I’m going to stick up for “Korea Sparkling,” I thought it was unique and fun, with just a hint of Konglish. It was perfect! I know they took a lot of flack for it, but I think it was more memorable than “Korea, Inspiring.”

    Isn’t the trick to boil it as long as possible?

    When I lived in Korea, there was this place, Naju Komtang, these old ladies boiled those bones for a day. Come lunchtime, the place was packed with old men, and me.

    Gotta have big, chunky, sour kakdoogi to go with, seems to be the best way.

    I have a story:

    When I lived in Korea I was crazy about bul-nak for a while. It’s bulgogi and nakji – beef and octopus, mixed together in a stew. Oh man! It’s great. They cook it at your table like bulgogi.

    So I found a great restaurant, this bulnak was the best. So on my American buddy’s birthday I told him I would take him for this excellent meal.

    The ajummas at the resto knew me, and I told them – this is my buddy’s birthday! They were happy for me. Little did I know that they would prepare a special bulnak for him.

    They brought out a platter and put it on the burner on the table. They opened the lid – and I saw that the octopus was super-fresh, as in, the legs just cut off seconds before. So the severed legs of the octopus were squirming around the platter in the stew, it was a really horrific sight! They were trying to make him happy by serving fresh octopus, but he screamed like a woman and jumped out of his seat!

    Sweet list!

    Although it’s always bothered me that the “English” button on the hmart site seems to be purely decorative.

    It’s always been my dream to plant uja seeds and grow ujas and make my own uja tea. But I don’t even know what those things are called in english. “Citron?”

    I don’t know how to make them. I just know how to post YouTube videos of other people making them.

    Hey chainik you mean one of these?

    As far as I know, the REAL dolsot is made with stone, usually a lot more than $8.99 in the US. But if you’re on a budget, buy the black one, then upgrade after you graduate and start making muchos dinero.
