Run, Little Chickens, Run!






Ok. This is a funny one when you consider just over a year ago most of our family members were sworn vegetarians. Brian & Cora joined a band of fun-seekers and merry-makers (led by TCIS science teacher and adventurer, Mr Mac) for a unique culinary treat. Sam-gae-tang (it makes more sense written in the Korean language) is a specialty dish of Daejeon. A whole chicken arrives in a boiling iron bowl at your table. The chicken is stuffed with a whole ginseng root, plus a chestnut and a date. There's some rice in the bowl, too. The mild flavours are offest by the variety of kimchee served on the side. It was so delicious that we almost forgot to feel guilty about the chicken...
