A group of Korean animal rights activists held a demonstration in front of a dog meat store in Seongnam (near Seoul) to protest against dog eating.
Dog meat is a common food in Korea and Koreans have been eating dog meat since thousand of years ago. One of the popular dish is Bosintang (literally ‘invigorating soup’), a traditional Korean soup that includes dog meat as its primary ingredient, and is very popular during the summer season.
It’s estimated that over a million of dogs are slaughtered every year to meet the market demand. The younger Korean generations however are beginning to ditch this traditional.
Kimchi (김치; also known as Gimchi and Kimchee) is a traditional Korean fermented dish made of seasoned vegetables.
The most popular type of kimchi is made with napa cabbage; other varieties include kkakdugi which is a kimchi made with cubed radishes, oh-ee so-bae-gi which is a stuffed cucumber kimchi and kkaennip (깻잎) kimchi with layers of perilla leaves marinated in soy sauce and other spices.
Kimchi has been a Korean cuisine for over 2000 years; it is probably right to say that a Korean meal these days is incomplete without Kimchi. Kimchi is often eaten with rice and other dishes, but over the years Kimchi has developed into various forms of delicacies like Kimchi soup, Kimchi ramen, barbecue Kimchi and Kimchi spring role etc… creativity is the only limit to the reinvention of Kimchi recipe.
An extra bonus for eating Kimchi is its health value; it has been claimed as one of the world healthiest food for its richness in vitamins and healthy bacteria that aids digestion.
