everyday i have to eat lunch at school, in a classroom, with the tiniest kids who try and grab at me with their rice covered fingers. There's another Korean teacher in the room to help them out as well. Our lunches are white rice, radishes, kimchi, bean sprouts or fish noodles and the main dish.
my favorite main dishes? curry (doesn't happen often - maybe once every three weeks?), eggs (once/twice a week) dok boki, and chop chae. i think that's it.
My least favorite dishes? fish pancakes. fish heads. chicken feet. spam. and various mystery meats that look like indecent parts of animals and the korean teachers refer to as 'hamburger steak'. then if i ask " is it....(every meat dish i know in korean)" they tell me no, hamburger steak. it is impossible. for all of those things, which are all very different looking and tasting to be called hamburger steak when they are in fact neither hamburger or steak. fact.
mostly, i just eat rice for lunch.
