Korean Food 101: Samgyetang


삼계탕 (Samgyetang), I'm not 100% sure what it translates to, but I can tell you this; It's pretty much a whole chicken, ginsing root and some other stuff inside a bowl of water. Soup! . . . kinda. You see this weekend I went out to lunch the other day with a Korean friend of mine, and he suggested this traditional Korean dish. And I, the big white western dummy, asking no questions as of to what samgyetang was, said "Okay".
Don't get me wrong, the soup was delicious! But eating an entire chicken, not with fork and knife, but with chopsticks. . . was difficult at best.
When I have more time I'll make a slide show for the week, I have several pictures, since my Korean friend thought it was so amusing.
