I also have a childhood memory dish. It is chrysalis which is based on silkworm pupae, and we have called this “Beondegi” in Korea. As a chef, Joseph Yoon described in the article, Beondegi is really common food in Korea, so you can easily find Beondegi on the streets, grocery stores, convenience stores, restaurants, or even in bars. It is true that Beondegi is very popular food in Korea regardless of sex or age, however, I did not agree with the interview he did. He said that “When they discover what it is that they are eating at an older age, they become disgusted by the idea and stop eating them,” However, in Korea, we actually learn and see a growth process of a butterfly in elementary school or even in kindergarten. So people already know what it is before starting to eat this food. Actually, this is one of my favorite Korean snacks, so whenever I go back to Korea, my grandmother always cooks for me. I also brought it here this time when I came back to New York. My first try of Beondegi was when I was 7. I still remember that I cried because I did not want to eat this disgusting food. However, when I just tried, I was shocked because the taste of Beondegi has not only sweet but also has salty which is 100% my style, and as he said, Beondegi is a bit like corn nuts, with a dry, grainy flavor.” People around me love this food and they also know where this food is from, but they cannot stop to eat it because they are already addicted to the attractive wired taste. People have to try this, they will love it!
