Leggo my Bundigie

Lesson of the Day: when at a hof and you have to order food to go with the beer others are going to drink, choosing the cheapest item is not always your best option.

The lady might give your friend a strange look, repeat it, and when he says 'nay' (yes in Korean) thennnn you just might be greeted with this beauty:




The infamous Korean silkworm larvae speciality, in this case presented as a stew. I was not brave enough to try it as it looked too much like cockroaches in soup, but John had to eat some of it since he ordered it. Jenn and Greg tried one each and their expressions were fantastic. If the smell doesn't overtake you first, then the 'popping' sensation (when one bites into it) followed by the egg yolk-like fluid will.

Definitely provided some good laughs. Only a few days ago we had been talking about the vomit-inducing smell of this dish. Most younger people do not eat silkworms, but just follow the smell at an open market or park and you'll be sure to find other people enjoying it.
