Ugh . . . Never Will Have AGAIN! I had to go to Wendy's and chase it down with a burger and a frosty! My God, no wonder these people are tough as hell.
Imagine british cuisine without the fun and hilarity. My meal was "BBQ" steak, which consisted of fajitas that tasted like they were made at a chemical refinery. I got 5, count em', 5 sides in tiny bowls. One was rice noodles and carrots, hard to screw that up. The other were raw beans in molasses, hard to eat w/ chop stiks. Then there was kimchee, aged cabbage cooked and baptized in that vietnamese hot sauce (sick). The others were pickled cucumbers (uh, pickles) and pickled soy sprouts (quiet good). Oh, and pickled potatos, also good.
Kimchi is described as fermented cabbage and peppers. I would describe it as vegetables in advanced decay in their own sauce.
I agree, Korean is the worst food I have tried. I was taken to a restaurant in San Jose, authentic. I had some fish in a soup, HOT and sour, BAD stuff. I had some one other time, kind of a buffet, and I managed to find one item that didn't make me want to spit it out right away . Swore off Korean food! Ever hear a bunch of folks yell, "Let's go have Korean"! Noooooooo. Why? It's baaaaaddddddddd!!! Ever wonder why there are no Korean restaurants around? It's baaadddd! Trust me on this.
Have you tried Korean BBQ? That's the only Korean I'll eat again. The place I went to, you cook it yourself. You go to the bar, grab all this steak and chicken and onions and bellpepper and bring it to your table which has a grill in the center of the table. The only problem with cooking it right there is that when you leave, you smell like BBQ smoke.
