Mmmm...food

Korean cuisine is based mostly on rice, noodles, and tofu, seams like the perfect place for a vegetarian. Each mean is accompanied by many banchan or side dishes. A very popular banchan is Kimchi, includes various vegetables (cabbage, radishes, and various roots) fermented with spices (garlic, red pepper, and ginger). Korea produces several types of grain alcohol, most notably soju. Nowadays, many people eat more and more Western, Japanese, and Chinese food, with pizza becoming more popular than kimchi among the younger generation.
