Lunch with Friends

We got together with some of the women in the Korean Ward and had lunch. We learned of interesting things about them.

Here is Kwona and Tracey.

Here is some of the food we ate. On the left is Kimchi (which I personally don't like) and on the right is a black bean sauce.

This is a black sauce pasta dish famous here. Not my favorite, but it still tasted good. We all ate out of the same bowl.

Here is another dish we all shared. You take a scoop with the spoon and put some in a small bowl that you have in front of you. It is sweet and sour pork. WAY better than the American version!!!

Here was my table setting. The little bowl on the left was the bowl used to put the pork in, while the bowl on the right (with the chopsticks) was used for the noodles. Just above the noodle bowl is a pepper sauce used to dip the pickled onions and different roots in. Above the peppered sauce bowl is the bowl for the pickled vegetable. Koreans beleive that meals should be balanced, so after having a fried dish, like the sweet and sour pork, they beleive it healthy to eat somthing , well, healthy. I loved the picked vegies (except for the onions, which is why they are still in the bowl). They also give you a wash rag to wash your hands before the meal. We drank some sort of herbal tea and the last bowl, with the spoon upside down, is the black bean sauce, which was also good!!

Here we all are.
