Korea Life Blog - Food Translations (1)

I always get a kick out of the translation of Korean foods into English. Somehow, the translation usually falls short of describing the food in any sort of appetizing way. Check out some of the foods on this list: click me click me.


Now let's have a look at the choices on this menu. What should I eat? The Yellow Pollack Soup W/Soy Bean Sprout sounds wonderful, yet I can't think of a better combination than OX-blood soup W/Winter-grown Cabbage. Mmmm. Seriously, one of my favorites is the third one, Hae Mul Dwen Jang Chigae. The translation, Soy Bean Paste Pot Stew W/Sea Food just doesn't do it justice. You just have to try it for yourself, if you haven't already. Yum!
