I asked my dad once if he ever tried dog. He said he did, but got sick afterwards and didn't care for it. I remember growing up listening to the adults reminisce about the homeland. There were some old timers that would wax poetic about how much they missed eating it.

I've eaten kaegogi twice. Once, to appease the wife. She insisted that it would help alleviate my sweating during the hot Korean summers (it didn't work). The second time, 13 years later, I went with an old friend from the States that really liked it. I didn't. Both times, it required copious amounts of Soju in order to even do the deed. I like dogs; I don't like eating them. I found the meat too stringy and the taste too bitter to enjoy.

It's not my place to pass judgement on other cultures; all I know is that I don't like to eat dogs.

There was enough barracks rats that no place in the formation was safe.

That was also in the days we had go-go dancers in the club annexes during lunch time. Also when the Company Sergeants Major collected the weeks "Ah Shits" in cases of beer on Friday morning and the S-4 iced them down in a trash can for the afternoon.

haha, Reading this brought back memorys, they used to hate me because I'd go out with the katusa's and eat tons of diffrent korean food and then end up going to the bars and drinking. Had to go past the bars to go home, never made it sober.

Thinking of that anyone know where one can legally get SOJU in fayetteville? I manged to get some through a friend with a korean wife, but I need a better source. Its really the only thing I like to drink now.. Thanks..

It takes huge balls to eat that stuff IMHO.

Whenever I eat myself silly with bulgogi/kimchi/soju/et al, my wife makes me sleep on the couch. I think the word she uses is "pungent." I can help it though; it's just so great when it hits your lips!
