Mystery meals

When I first arrived in Korea, there wasn't a lot of food that I recognized. Of course one reason for that was that we had dinner in the worker's cafeteria in one of the local steel companies in Pohang. They fed us in exchange for teaching an English class, but it wasn't exactly haute cuisine! Imagine calamari prepared by your elementary school lunch lady!

As time went on, I learned to enjoy the food — but I had a rough start!
