100 Korean Foods You Gotta Try

I have lots to blog about since it was a really busy (and fun) weekend but of course I am procrastinating. I found this list on Zen Kimchi's blog and couldn't resist seeing how I score after living in Korea for almost 2 years. You'll notice that most of the foods I haven't tried contain intestines or other yucky parts. The bold ones I've eaten. In total I've had 65% of these must try dishes. ^^ (Matt, who is more adventurous, has tried 71%!)
