/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Is there any type of cuisine that you just don't get?
For me it has to be Korean food.
Almost everything is pickled, fermented, or covered in chili peppers to some degree where it's insanely pungent and you can barely taste the original ingredients.
The more normally flavored dishes just taste like shittier version of their counterparts from other asian countries.
And even Korean BBQ, which is really the only internationally popular staple of Korean cuisine, is kind of fucking pointless in my opinion.
Why would you pay extra to go out to eat if you have to cook your own food?
I love almost all Asian food but Korean food is just bizarre and not appetizing at all to me.
