7. Can you drink the water?

Korean food can be very spicy for foreigners. The national food, which is a staple at each meal, is kimchi, a spicy fermented cabbage. You will eat this a lot when you stay in Korea. A lot of chili peppers and garlic is used in

preparing Korean food. Rice is also served with every meal. There is a large selection of spicy soups, fried rice, stews and noodle dishes to tempt your taste buds. Every meal is served with side dishes, which vary in every res­taurant. You can experience the variety of food South Korea has to offer. Korean BBQ is popular among foreigners. Small pieces of meat are brought to your table and cooked right in front of you.

Most Korean food is quite spicy although there are many dishes that are not. Koreans eat Kimchi with everything. This tends to add spiciness to the meal. For less spicy foods we recommend Juk (a rice porridge); kimbab (Korean-style sushi).

You may not want to try the Kimchi when you first arrive. However, most foreigners end up acquiring a taste for it as it is unavoidable in Korea! Kimchi can be made from celery, cabbage, turnips or cucumbers seasoned with salt, garlic, onions, ginger, red pepper and shellfish or fish sauce. It is cured for a long period of time underground. No matter what, you will have a chance to try it when you arrive as Koreans eat it with almost every meal. It is usually very spicy so start with a small bite!

Table manners are extremely important in Korea and Koreans rarely eat with their fingers. It is advantageous to learn the do’s and don’ts of Korean culture. They use a spoon and metal chopsticks which makes for an interest­ing learning experience! Spoons are used to scoop rice, soup and stews while chopsticks are generally used to eat from the many side dishes. Using both sets of utensils at the same time is considered to be bad manners, although leeway is given to foreigners and you will probably be the centre of a friend­ly tease. Soup is also a vital part of almost every meal. Other dishes include seafood, meat or poultry, greens, herbs and roots. Each person has his own rice and soup bowls but all other dishes are placed in the center of the table for everyone to partake of. Often in restaurants you will be required to sit at low tables on the floor, which takes getting used to. The good news is that many restaurants offer a normal table and chair set up.

All Korean cities have department stores which often contain a large supermarket in the basement. A lot of the food you will not recognize. However, there are many similar foods to what you are used to. Supermar­ket shopping is an interesting experience and sometimes trial and error is the only way to learn your way around. If you are really craving food from home, there are a number of places in Seoul that specialize in international foods.

Big Western food chains like Pizza Hut, Burger King, OutBack Steak- house and TGI Fridays are popping up all over the place. Pizza is popular and there are bakeries on every corner. Japanese Restaurants are easy to find too. Fruit and vegetables are sold almost everywhere so staying healthy is easy. Don’t worry about what you are going to eat, the food is delicious, healthy and there are lots of options that will suit your needs.

Tap water in Korea’s cities will not make you sick. It may not be the best stuff in the world, but it probably won’t kill you. Many Koreans, par­ticularly in the summer time get water from local mountain springs. You can get bottled water delivered to your home quite cheaply- with a delivery service a five liter bottle of water will cost you around USD $6. Buying bot­tles of water is about $1 for a 1.5L.

Procedure

1. Warm-up

1. What special foods do you eat on holidays? (Christmas, New Year’s Day, etc.)

2. What do you usually cook when you wait for guests?

3. Are you fond of cooking complicated dishes?

4. Do you make dishes of any cuisine or use recipes of your own?

5. What is your favourite recipe?

2. Listening

Listen to some information about tea-time in Great Britain and say what the British mean exactly when they say: “We usually have tea at 5 p. m”.

1. Why is tea not as common nowadays as before?

2. What is the difference between afternoon tea and high tea?

AFTERNOON TEA AND HIGH TEA IN ENGLAND Afternoon Tea (The traditional 4 o’clock tea)

This is a small meal, not a drink. Traditionally it consists of tea (or cof­fee) served with either of the following: freshly baked scones served with cream and jam (known as a cream tea), afternoon tea sandwiches — thinly sliced cucumber sandwiches with the crusts cut off and assorted pastries.

Afternoon tea is not common these days because most adults go out to work. However, you can still have afternoon tea at the many tea rooms around England.

Afternoon tea became popular about one hundred and fifty years ago, when rich ladies invited their friends to their houses for an afternoon cup of tea. They started offering their visitors sandwiches and cakes too. Soon everyone was enjoying afternoon tea.

High Tea (The traditional 6 o’clock tea)

The British working population did not have afternoon tea. They had a meal about midday, and a meal after work, between five and seven o’clock. This meal was called ‘high tea’ or just ‘tea’. Today, most people refer to the evening meal as dinner or supper.

Traditionally eaten early evening, High tea was a substantial meal that combined delicious sweet foods, such as scones, cakes, buns or tea breads, with tempting savouries, such as cheese on toast, toasted crumpets, cold meats and pickles or poached eggs on toast. This meal is now often replaced with a supper due to people eating their main meal in the evenings rather than at midday.
