I was in college when I first got a taste of pork gukbap, or hot soup with rice. Ever since that day, pork gukbap has become my soul food. A delicious and filling meal for a low price, it meant a lot to poor college student like.
Even when my husband and I used to go on dates, we went out for gukbap more often than pasta. And when I don't have time to cook a proper meal, I just get gukbap to go.
People I know often react with surprise when they find out I enjoy gukbap. But I remember how it was a refreshing change a pace after eating only familiar foods for so long.
Trying foods you don't usually eat can open up a whole new world. If you're a picky eater, I urge you to try something new.
