What did everyone cook today?
-
Threw a whole brisket in the smoker today while working on the tractor. I cubed up the point for burnt ends. The flat was great, but the burnt ends were meat candy. I hit it hard with cracked black pepper and garlic. Tasty with a little kick.
Finished burnt ends with my homemade sauce.GWG8541 I love making burnt ends on my Big Green Egg.

wdaly happy you enjoyed. Spent time there also. 71 & 83-84. 10k+ active duty within a few miles so we a fortunate to have a global cuisine
-
Okay after looking at all these pics I think I just put on five pounds. Might have to go to the gym and take a run.

30lbs of Beef bulgogi: literally “fire meat”, a gui made of thin, marinated slices of beef and veggies. A few lbs will end up on my griddle today. The rest will be frozen in 4lb packs.
JoeB that looks awesome. I had Bulgogi for the first time about 37 years ago in Korea and have been hooked ever since. Top it off with some kimchi and and OB Lager or some Soju and it is great meal. I even learned to use chop sticks eating Bulgogi.

GWG8541 Ok, your turn to edumacate this boy. What the heck is Soju?

JoeB wdaly I was also in Korea in 1984 for Team Spirit. We unfortunately lost Marines in a helo crash during that exercise. We were camped in Pohang most of the time with some great libo in Seoul. I definitely fell in love with the cuisine, except for some fried grass hoppers at a bar one night. Good old OB and Soju washed it down just fine, but that was the last grasshopper for me. Ill stick with Bulgogi and Kimchi. Korea was one of the best places the Corps sent me. Ah, the life of a young Marine.

zbigjeff Soju is a Korean drink, joking: half formaldehyde and half grain alcoholic. Usually mixed with coke ( the soft drink) OB is Korea’ national beer (long neck)

GWG8541 did you spend a little time in itawan. The part of Soul that never sleeps
-
JoeB I can neither confirm or deny that, but it was a memorable Christmas of 1984.

GWG8541 Does that mean you don’t recall that at this time
-
Soju is a fermented sweet potato wine, favored at times (grapefruit, maple, and others), otherwise clear and sort of like watered down vodka (sold at 14%)

alanburkholder Interesting. Much of what I drank was bootleg fm the Vill. . Way, way more than 38 proof. It’s like moonshine vs 80 proof whiskey. Have you had Soju? I’ve had moonshine and soju. Certainly not wiser for it

Looks good… Must be tasty
-
JoeB Remember how bad that first taste of OB was. But after a bottle, the rest tasted great.

wdaly Our Company CO was a great Irishman. We were in the field for Team Spirit on St. Patrick’s Day in 1984. He found a nearby store and bought enough cases for all of us to have a bottle of OB. That was my first introduction to the great Korean lager. Its great when 2 cultures meet and create a memorable moment.

GWG8541 I was on Seoul from 83-85. One of my favorite tours. Visited Puson on various ships later on. Itaewon was always full of good food and libations. The government was starting to clean it up in preparations for the 88 Olympics when we left. Often wonder what is like now.

alanburkholder Jonathan Now I know and can add another “learned” to my list. Thanks for the info. BTW: I selected the thumbs UP icon on this thread and it made it a -1 or a Thumbs DOWN vote. So, I reversed it and left it at “0”.
