Mmmmmm....I love pork.

Wonderful oh-gyup-sal at my favorite pork restaurant.

It's official, pork has now outstripped beef as the top meat import to Korea. (See JoongAng Ilbo link) and no wonder...what with Mad Cow Disease and Avian Flu virus going around. The only thing that seems 'safe' is pork. Of course, as you may know, oh-gyup-sal literally means 5 layers of fat...so maybe it's not super healthy.

Well, I wasn't that bad, I did do 2 hours of inline skating (as they call it here...rollerblading seems to have a tough time rolling off the Korean tongue) beforehand...but the 오겹살 was drowned by a lovely concoction called 오십세주 (oh-ship-say-joo) which is a 50/50 mix of 백세주 (baek-say-ju, literally: hundred year alcohol) and 소주 (soju, literally: booze) thus the translation of the combined drink is called 50 year alcohol. Intersting, eh?
