New Stress Busters

I have a paper due tomorrow plus a presentation to work on a day after that, and I find myself craving for these... Tantararan!!!!!!!!

                              
                                          It used to be a Snickers bar, for goodness sake.

They sure look like some street food. The black ones are called "sundae" (순대). No, not the ice cream. Koreans say it as, "soon-deh". It is made by steaming a cow or pig's intestine stuffed with whatevers, but commonly of noodles and pork blood. When you buy sundae from an "ajumma" (아줌마- loosely refers to the elderly women in South Korea, though strictly speaking any married woman is already considered an ajumma), she would usually take it out from a steamer in its purest intestine form, haha! Sundae is actually a kind of blood sausage here in South Korea, so just picture a black-beaten longganisa for that matter. The old lady would then chop it off, and hand them to you for 2,500 won. These chopped intestines are usually mixed with other steamed internal organs, just like the brown ones above. Those are livers (간), by the way. It's just funny to think how I learned to eat liver when I got here. I never, ever liked liver. Ask my mom. She knows I'd hate it if she'll put too much liver in her menudo. Nah, talk about missing my mother's Pinoy dishes.

If I start craving for kimchi, somebody has to rescue me. It's already an abnormally dangerous craving to respond to such stress. I have never-ever liked eating that famous Korean side dish. Screw me for still getting by in South Korea.

But hey, look what just happened to liver. Kimchi might be my next liver, hahaha.
