of course if you are eating a dish that requires prep you do it in advance but just simple grilled or boiled shrimp are at most just deveined, most of the time not even that, when using the freshest ingredients you want to mess with it the least as possible, no ones gets caught in the same day shrimp and makes pasta.

Well, I was raised in a major port and we actually did eat the stuff day-fresh but still nobody would eat it unprepared or even think of serving it as that at least. Just because you can't taste the difference between me washing my hands and no, doesn't mean that a civilised society shouldn't care. Same goes for shrimp shit. And it's not like it's that much of a problem to just clean it out.

And considering that OP bitches about "krean food" I think he is speaking about ready made stuff, so that's def a no go for anything but maybe smoked fish or eel.

>>10755204
Oh well, sure. It can be even aesthetic but as I said, I don't think that's OPs problem. Although usually in a good place they will debone it freshly before your eyes before serving a piece to every member of a party.

I've been to Korea and personally enjoyed their BBQ grills and culture the most. Didn't really enjoy the ramens and babimpaps and all the more traditional food as much but the BBQs were amazing and so was their street food in the cities.

The secret to Korean popularity is that they throw their garbage entertainment to TV stations around the world for basically on the cheap or free. So those dirt poor countries get dramas with a budget and with little effort. "Their" music is basically just European music but with Korean lyrics. They literally hire European composers to make their music. And with the dramas and the K-pop, naturally comes the interest in food. Koreans are masters at marketing their one-note cuisine (really one of the worst in Asia) as something good or desirable.

Lmao at the other anon in this thread who said "hurrdurr its a matter of civilization". Japs were seen as pretty much barbarians for a long time. They just raped and pillaged everything, even called little gremlins or dwarfs by chinese because they were short and unintelligent. Also kind of backwards to say Japanese food is better than most asian food considering Japanese culture is an amalgamation of chinese and korean, and whatever else managed to make its way to the islands.

Also OP evidently hates stews and pickled things, which are what korean food is about. If you don't like a certain kind of food then obviously you wont like if one cultures food is primarily made up of those things. Imagine:

As much as I hate to use this word, Korean food is "rustic". It's not really designed to be elegant or soft on the palate, and often emerged out of poverty or stretching every bit of ingredients out. It's good drinking food or if you enjoy thick stews and can tolerate very pungent smells.

Ingredients can be similar due to region, especially as you go down south more to jeju, which is basically a different country anyways, but habits no. Korean cooking is very much like what >>10764401 said, stretching things out in stews and whatnot.

I really enjoy the stir fried squid with pork belly. The one that constantly cooks while you're eating it.

Also army base stew if you can find it at a restaurant. Not a big fan of the boiled pork belly wraps. The wings are always dank though. I'm a massive Korean food pleb though.
