"Weird" food in South Korea

A long time ago I saw a video with this guy called Andrew Zimmern. Some of you may already know who he is.

For those who do not, he is a "culinary expert, chef and television host" (taken from Wikipedia), and in his perhaps most famous show, Bizarre Foods, he once visited Seoul, South Korea. In that video he tries out a lot of the different food that you can get in Korea, and sort of inspired me to also try a lot of the different, and in western eyes weird foods that you can get.


What I have found until now, and eagerly looking forward to try are:


 - 용봉탕 (Yongbongtang) Turtle Soup

 - 번데기 (Beondegi) Insect Chrysalis

 - 육회 (Yukhoe) Tartar/Raw Beef (pretty normal thing also in the west, but never tried it)

 - 족발 (Jokbal) Pigs feet

 - 보신탕 (Boshintang) and 개장국 (Gaejangguk) Dog Soup

 - 홍어회 (Hongeohoe) Rotten Skate (fish)

Along with this I also plan to try every possible kind of street food available in Seoul, the cone pizza is still really high up on that list!
LOOK AT ALL THIS LOVE FOOD!!! >D

I know that some of these things may seem really disgusting and in no way appealing, but I like to just throw myself out there and experience as much as possible, especially regarding food.

  2. Had the turtle (in Japan). Interesting. Was even lucky enough to get the piece with the hook (less desirable).

    Dog ain't nowhere to be found here (in Japan), but I may go for bees' worms. If I recall correctly, they're a delicacy.
    Raw horse 馬刺し (basashi) is popular though. Had it once. May go for it again.
