South Korea doesn’t have much to recommend itself to the average tourist. It’s largely devoid of ancient monuments, because in successive wars it was bombed back to the Stone Age. Thanks to a program of mass redevelopment over the last 10-15 years, the streets of Seoul are now a neon strewn fairground complete with epilepsy inducing flashing lights. Its climate is dry with extremes of hot and cold giving little chance for the lush green forests of other parts of Asia to take hold.
So why bother writing about it? Well largely because it’s the best place on the planet to eat Korean food. Away from the fast-food joints that infest almost every city on the planet, you’ll find a plethora of small restaurants and street stands that will cater to your every whim. It doesn’t matter where you go in the world, the best and most challenging food is often the stuff that was eaten out of necessity. Almost every country has a blood dish, whether it’s in the form of sausage or as a thickener; intestines in one form are another are common place, just think of the contents of your average sausage; stews with heavy spices are another, designed to make the food taste good long after its ingredients are past their best, and South Korea is no different.
Throughout the city you'll find food stalls selling such delicacies as boiled silk worm - a foul smelling brew that contain lots of black pupae- served in a paper cone and eaten with a toothpick; sweet thick doughy pancakes fried on griddles and filled with dark brown sugar and when served hot melt into your mouth.
Look into any of the restaurants and you'll discover another range of dishes that you'll find hard to swallow, but will tease and excite your senses as the pungent smell of chili pervades the atmosphere. There's a version of black pudding that uses pigs blood soaked noodles; Chinese cabbage pickled with salt, chill, oyster sauce and other ingredients to make kimchee.
For more palatable fare there is the delicious Bulgogi with its thinly sliced peppery fried beef and vegetables that you cook yourself at your table or perhaps the chicken stew cooked with potatoes, onion and carrot with a spicy sauce is more to your taste.
To wash down all of this great food it’s worth trying some of the local drinks. Beer is the obvious one and Korea has some local brews that aren’t often available outside of the country; Soju is the Korean equivalent of Sake, typically made form rice and with an alcohol content of between 20% and 45% and best served with fish or pork ; Dong-Dong-Ju is a fabulous brew of fermented rice or potatoes and with a vaguely familiar flavor, reminiscent of a slightly yeasty hard-cider and drunk from communal bowls that you dip your glass into.
So now you’re fed and liquored it’s time to visit the rest of the country, visit the South Korean tourist information for more details on where to go.
