| My current favorite: Gamjatang. |
Gamjatang (Kam-Ja-Tang) is pretty famous in Korea. I remember seeing it featured in one of the documentaries I watched before moving here, and it completely lives up to the hype.
It's also known as "Pork Spine Soup" because it literally is. You're given a large bowl of broth, rice, and veggies, with a huge hunk of meat floating on top - bones included. There's a big bucket in the middle of the table that you can use to throw the bones in once you've successfully pulled most of the meat from them (or spent so long trying that you decide to give up). I'm sure it's quite a treat to watch a table full of foreigners attempting to pull their dinner from bones with a pair of chopsticks and a spoon.
They really make you work for it but, when all is said and done, this is a great meal. And of course, contains the special mystery ingredients that are sure to cure any kind of morning-after haze.
