That's a Korean Herald article I can believe.

Anyone else notice that Korean street food is VERY limited in variety (sure there's the rare exception, but...)

The top 4 things in that article amount to 90%. Compare ddeokbokki with the other items.

dak-kkochi-Not as common as others, but good decent.
Soondae-Fairly bland stuff.
Fritters-Stuff that just sits out and gets fried multiple times (with little care, unlike Korean chicken which is twice-fried for a reason.)

1. Samgyeopsal (especially the galbi - not sure if its still called samgyeopsal then... cause samgyeopsal means three layered skin or something like that)

No, it wouldn't be called samgyupsal, you'd just call it galbi. Samgyeopsal refers to fatty pork belly, and you're right, it can be translated as three layered meat.

Actually, I think you spelled it right -- you mean the rice cakes that Koreans usually eat during Chuseok, right? I like them, too.

thektulu7 · « **Reply #37 on:** June 02, 2011, 03:40:30 PM »

1. 쌈 (yes, pretty much the entire "wrapped" category)
2. 참치김치찌개 (chamchi kimchi jjigae)
3. 돌솥 비빔밥 (dolsot bibimbap)

Wow, that was very hard. I'll probably think of something else while I'm on the bus reading signs.

Sundubu Jiggae X 5

Kidding. I do like it a lot though... Of course, I'm a vegetarian, so my options are limited, and I have to make sure it comes without seafood...
