My Korean Bar Mitzvahs

In Korea, you become a man the first time you eat a "certain" meal...but we'll get to that. First, a short lesson in linguistics. Koreans are very literal when they name their meat. Sogogi ("so" = "cow" and "gogi" = "meat") is beef. Mulgogi ("mul" = "water") is fish. That "certain" meal I referred to is a soup made with gaegogi. I had it for dinner on Wednesday. It tasted pretty good.

That's not beef. By the way...."gae" = "dog"
