Hi Mills – That is quite a list……I don’t think I could bring myself to eat a few of those items too….you can guess which one!

Very impressive! I was in South Korean for two weeks in 2004 and LOVED it. Great great food.
A bit of a non-sequitor: my Korean-American friends mean something entirely different by the “Korean 100.” They’ve explained that every good Korean girl strives to stay under 100 lbs. Ack! I’m so way overweight then!
September 27th, 2008 at 6:15 am
Kirk,
Yeah I can figure out the one you don’t want to eat and I agree! I couldn’t do that one either, I would feel guilty. HUGZ
Say Hi to The Boyz for me!
Krista,
Welcome! You should have no more problems commenting. Let me know if you do.
I am so glad you enjoyed visiting Korea. I haven’t been there since 2000.
LOL Yeah I know the Korean 100, and I remember a lot of the Korean girls obsessing about it in high school. *sigh*

hehe apart from the dog I think I’d give most of the rest a go! REally inspires me to hunt some of these down … maybe in Singapore I would be closer to get them than Aust. And of course really would love to visit Korean too! What is skate btw?

Rachely you should try out some of the Korean food, but I love to go to Singapore with you to eat singaporean food…*sigh* I think one of my classmates in college said there was a really good korean restaurant when she went back home. Do I remember what city or the name of the restaurant in Singapore is called, not a lick! But if you can’t find Korean food in Singapore, at least take some pictures of the wonderful food of Singapore!

You can make it into a stew, but I don’t have a recipe for it right now. I will try to look it up for you. I have split the sacs and squeezed out the eggs, or cut it into small pieces and added them into Bibimbop (mixed rice dish).
