Notes: The jello substance made with acorn flour seems a little strange to me. Can anyone describe it's taste?
i thought it was very uncommon to serve all the food on a platter in korea, since they would mingle and ruin the flavour - or something like that.
ReplyDeletethe acorn stuff is called dotori-mook (basically, acorn-jelly). it's a bit bitter and nutty(not like peanuts though), it's hard to describe. it's often served with soy based sauces. it might be an acquired taste but i like it.
the acorn jelly doesn't have much flavor of its own, it's usually served with a soy sauce based salad for flavor
ReplyDeleteNice variety, but too much marinated food. not good for the stomach as it increase the risk of malignant transformation.
ReplyDeleteIt tastes sort of bitter, if you would really like to know.
ReplyDeleteIts 도토리묵. (dotorimook) It tastes bitter, if you want to know. I live in South Korea. There are better foods than these.
ReplyDelete묵의 한 종류입니다. 묵은 보통 저렇게 간장과 야채를 조려서 먹지요. "Mook" is eaten seasoned.
