My most memorable food experience was when i traveled to South Korea to visit my family members. As soon as i unpacked all my suitcases and bags, my uncle took me out fishing. We caught a bunch of different species of fish but we let them all go back into the ocean. At the end of the day we took back 4-5 squids to eat as a delicacy when we went back home. At first i thought we were going to cook them and make soup. But my uncle rinsed them with fresh water and told me we were eating them alive. i was startled at first and wanted to refuse the offer. But i couldn’t do that on the first day of meeting my uncles and family members in a long time. We set 4 chop sticks for my dad, my 2 uncles, and me because my grandmas, aunties, and my mom didn’t have the stomach for it. We wrapped the squid around the chopstick and submerged it under red pepper paste pronounced gochujang in Korean. We counted down from 3 and put the whole squid into our mouths. It was a odd and curious experience because all the tentacles were sticking onto my cheeks and i really had to grind the squid with my teeth. my dad and my uncles were laughing at me because i was struggling because of the tire like skin. I will never forget that day and i would eat it again if i get the chance.
