The Korean Buffet

Saturday night we went to a Korean Buffet in town. The Buffets are a little different from the buffets (or I like to call them troughs) back home. At the troughs in the U.S. you are served over cooked food, with little flavor, that smells terrible. Here, there are a myriad of meats available. You have your regular chicken, beef, and pork, but you also have eel and octopus as well. The meat is uncooked.As you can see we are sitting on the floor, and you have to leave your shoes at the door when you come in. You get all the food you want and cook it on the little skillet in the middle of the table. If you get too much and don't eat it all, they will charge you for what you don't eat. In the picture below that is what you think it is. It is octopus. Our friend ate it. Coming from the Mikul clan, where you have to try one bite of everything, I ate about an inch and a half of an octopus tentacle. It was like eating a large thick rubber band. It didn't taste that great either. Paula Dean would have a hard time making that dish taste good.
After dinner, we settled our stomachs with some ice cream. Over all, everything was pretty good. I know what kind of meat I wil try next time. Our friend cooked a piece of eel, and it was disgusting. It still had its spine in, and you had to cut through it. If I thought about it hard enough I could have vomited. That was are only adventure for this weekend. Henry did not join us, because he cries really loud everytime we take him somewhere. We are going to half to work on that. Until next time
