Sam gip san


Here is an idea of the traditional Korean feast. Always countless side dishes, some too spicey for the Western taste. And, yes, you cook your own food. I laughed when Bill Murray joked about it in "Lost in Translation," but it's true. There's a little burner in the middle of the table, you order your pork, chicken, beef or whatever and tend to it as you munch the appetizers. Really tasty, but, as I can't casually eat, I usually eat too much and end up sick after one of these feasts. That's just the cultural differences with the East and West. They savor and we devour.
