This one ended up as sugared seaweed
M says these are the kinds of things his dad (the Scoutmaster) would bring on the Boy Scout 50 mile hike when he was younger:
AKA Korean Popcorn
M's dad would pull a bag of dried anchovies out of his backpack and freak everyone out. And who can resist kimchee?
Here is a run down on what they brought home:
Abalone, Periwinkle, Sea squirt, Squid, Baby Octopus, Quail Egg, Honey Powder, Lotus Root, Fish Cakes, Lots of Seaweed, Taurine Green Tea with Ginseng, Noodles and a lot of different sauces. At least they didn't bring home the dehydrated squid
I told them they have to use up the old bottles of weird sauces, octopus, and kimchee before they could open the new ones. M says, "You think we brought home weird things, but you should see what we left at the store! You should be thankful!" And I am. I haven't even finished the Christmas food problem (although I made four different kinds of bean and ham soup for the freezer yesterday).
Tomorrow night, for New Year's Eve, M will cook up a Great Korean Feast with a side of steak for dinner. I think I'll have the steak.
