Sam-gyeop-sal

Sam-gyeop-sal and side dishes

Wrap it in lettuce with rice and enjoy

Feeling pretty good after that delicious meal

5 minutes later...not felling as good
Sam-gyeop-sal is fried pork and we can cook it right at the table.  It's a popular food among Koreans and foreigners alike.  You get some spicy soup, kimchi, rice, and other side dishes to eat with the meat. This has become my favorite meal here in Korea.  Mom, and a few others, had mentioned I looked a little thin lately, so on this particular night (9/25) I decided to eat everything in front of me.

At one point I had reached my limit, but there was still some pork left so I forged ahead.  I regretted that decision soon after.  By the progression of the pictures you can see how I went from happy, to a state of food coma.  The feeling got worse before it got better.  Next time I'm stopping when I feel full (sorry mom, skinnier Gavin may be around for a bit).  I felt like John Candy in "The Great Outdoors" after that meal, I even ate the gristle (I didn't get a t-shirt though).  Next time I'm wearing sweat pants.

  1. Haha! I was going to comment about how you should eat all of that because of the "thin" talk going on back here at home, but I guess you covered that topic in your post! :) Eat up Gavin!
