A lesson in Korean dining (video)

by Tata| 1 Comment

In this video my co-worker Shannon, shows us how to use a chop sticks to take out the bones out of a fish to make it easier to eat. Chopsticks can be a little hard to use when it comes to eating certain types of meals; this is one of those meals.

Korean dining is very interesting. When you order food in Korea, the price you see is the price you pay because taxes are already included in the purchase price of goods in Korea. Not only that, when you order food such as Rice and fish, you also get side items like kimchi, soup, other types of kimchi, and vegetables for free. The side items that you get for free are unlimited; meaning, you can ask for more during the course of your dining at no extra cost to your bill. In the U.S, you pay for everything you eat. The meal in the video above was about 16 thousand won. That is roughly $13; three of us ate and we were full. In the U.S, the same meal will run you about $30. What do you think? Should U.S restaurants offer free side items? That would be great wouldn’t it? I will pray for such a day.

I know this is going to sound mean but there are already too many fat people in the U.S. If it cost money and the obesity is outrageous, imagine if some of the food was free? I do not think that is a good idea. Did you try to separate the bones from the fish with the chopsticks, that would have been a sight to see. Your co-worker may have set a record with those chopsticks, I would have took my chances and choked on a bone–just kidding. Great clip.
