I think that's a myth...or a misconception. I think many Koreans believe that if an American refuses to eat one of their spicy dishes, it's simply because "it's too spicy" when in reality they just don't enjoy it.

Yes, that's a good point. Sometimes I think that the only Korean who's come to accept that I like and can certainly eat spicy food is my boyfriend. It doesn't matter how many times I go out for dinner with my cooworkers. They're absolutely amazed every time I can eat kimchi. And then they say, "Isn't it spicy?"

Shsong, what you have to realize is that there are many different kinds of spicy foods all over the world. It isn't just Korean food. Many North Americans love Mexican food, and it can be really spicy. In fact, my boyfriend had a harder time eat jalapenio (spelling?) peppers than I did. Some Italian sauces are also really spicy.

But, yes you will meet some North Americans who are most comfortable with meat, potatoes and gravy.

Re: Favorite Korean side dish?
hmmmm, its hard to decide on a favorite because I love almost everything I have had from the Korean menu. I guess I do love the radish and cucumber kimchee the most. The cabbage kimchee is a close second as long as it does not have too much fish oil in it. The one thing I had in Korea back in 93, that I absolutely hated and will never, ever eat again was that red tofu. It smelled like crap, it tasted like crap and it made me crap :). So much for the brave westerner eating along with everyone else, like he enjoyed it.

Re: Favorite Korean side dish?
my favorite korean side-dish, isn't really a side dish, I love kimchi, but I love (english attempt at korean coming) bu-dae-che-gae (soldiers soup) man I loved the crap outta that stuff. the spicer the better, and yes I dont know why Koreans think we Americans can not handle the spice, everytime I went out with my korean friends eventhough I had been with them before they always asked if it was too spicy... im always like hell nah bro, lets add some more hot peppers, lol spicy food is so good, thats prolly why I put tobasco sauce on EVERYTHING i eat

I like all sorts of kimchi, and I really like that cucumber kimchi. I really like the salad that you get at the galbi restaurants. The sauce is a mix of vinegar, sugar and wasabi (hot mustard). There is also another kind of salad dressing that tastes like it is made with some kind of fruit - maybe pineapple? That's really good. Sometimes I like the boiled mini potatoes that are served with a sweet sauce. I can't eat too many though, because they're really sweet.
I tried a delicious kind of dok (rice cake) the other day. Supposedly it is really popular in the spring, and they don't sell it at the dok stores. It was home made. I think it was called SukDok. It was made with a kind of green herb. Do any Koreans know what I mean? Shsong? It was delicious. Does anyone know if you can buy it made anywhere?
+================================================= ===

Sook Dok is made out of mugwort or wormwood. I believe if you just go down to one of the Dok stores, they should have them. I am surprised though as Sook Dok is a bit bitter, to me at least.sookdok.jpg

Re: Favorite Korean side dish?
Yes, There are many Kalbi restaurants and sushi restaurants and restaurants and restaurants. it's the side dishes that make the difference. I have eaten in restaurants all over the peninsula.

I love most all kinds of kimchi, of course, cucumber kimchi, and mul (water) kimchi are delicious. There are even vaiations of each.

I like Blue Opera's Pork Cutlet and salad with.....I can't think of the name..
