Korean Barbacue

For those of you viewing this through Facbook 'Notes', the original post is available on www.henrickatlarge.blogspot.com.  It will enable you access to photogalleries and other multi-media material which doesn't transfer into 'Notes'



One of the things you will here everyone say whence returning from South Korea when you ask how it was, is 'The Food is Great"!  One of the things all Westerners seem to like is Korean Barbacue,

It goes like this:  You sit at a table with your friends and family.  In the center is a grill. Above the grill is some kind of vent.  You order.  The waitress brings you the raw ingredients, and you proceed to cook it yourself.  It's pretty awesome.  Most of the time its pork, or beef.

Above are some pictures of a 'one last time' dinner before I left. I think that this is 'Galbi'.  Its a form of marinated meat.   The last photo is of  a previous occasion. We are eating pork I think.

One of the thing I think is worth mentioning, is that there are no knives at the table.  Koreans use scissors to cut the meat on the grill.  Kind of ingenious, I think.  Well here it is.
