What’s for Dinner?

I went to dinner this evening with a few of my colleagues. The restaurant in Kunsan City served only one thing: EEL! Naturally, I had my reservations, but to my surprise, it was good. I was expecting some slimy snake-like water creature still wearing it’s head, but it wasn’t like that at all.

In the picture below, the eel on the left is salted, the middle is teriyaki and the right is spicy. All the little bowls you see have different toppings for the eel and various kinds of kimche. The eel is on a grill and stays warm on your table. You take these cabbage-like leaves, spread on some pepper paste, add a piece of garlic (or whatever) and a piece of eel, roll it up and just pop it in your mouth.
