A Korean Sundae

I had my first Korean sundae last night. Big deal, right??? But before you go getting some visions of a tasty little ice cream treat that you get at Dairy Queen, I should tell you there are a few differences between Canadian sundaes and their Korean counterparts. First off, the word is pronounced soon-day here -> somewhat of a minor difference, if you ask me.

Secondly and most importantly, the Korean sundae is light on ice cream and heavy on pig intestine. Truth be told, that is all that you get in a Korean sundae: a giant serving of pig intestines and just to mix it up they throw in some slices of lung and liver (their is no ice cream at all). Well the kids eat this stuff up like it actually was ice cream and they really wanted me to try it, so I did. How did it taste? Actually the sundae itself was OK but the lung and liver I could do without. I think the texture of the meat and just the thought of eating those parts was enough to make me not like it.

To reward myself for being so adventurous I went to my favorite new restaurant after class and ordered what amounts to a deep fried pork chop --- mmm, now that is a part of a pig I can handle eating!

Final verdict: Dairy Queen has got my buck ;)

Maybe next time you just need to throw a little fudge sauce on it for taste. But if you can't find any of that, I am sure you could find a bottle of cow urine to do the trick.

*I can say stuff like this about their food because I'm asian

Well, I can clearly see that this will become the new web-board for Anh and Sterd...

I say throw back an intestine with a shot of cheap korean beer then kill a hooker with a telephone.
