My Korean friend ordered a stew for me, but it genuinely smelled rotten. I've eaten a lot of delicious food in Korea, but this was the first time I seriously thought, "I absolutely cannot eat this."
Turns out, it was Cheonggukjang.
If you come to Korea and want a truly unique and intense culinary experience, try ordering Cheonggukjang. You might end up loving itโฆ or you might deeply regret your life choices.
"Everyone agrees that Cheonggukjang smells like feet and regret, and trying to get a foreigner to eat the 'real deal' version is a hilarious, sadistic move."
