Carol and I went over to Banshin Market and across the road we found all these street food places. We ate some Calguksu- Korean Noodle Soup and then I decided to be brave and eat some Pig’s Feet. It was…not for me. It was overly chewy and I’m NOT a foot man, so the very thought of it turned my stomach for days after. The meat was cold and it came with the bosam sauce- you know with tiny shrimp and spices.
