You must know what you are eating but you can not communicate well with the hostess. That's where following list of Korean food will come in handy. I also have included pictures of Korean word. So when you fail to communicate the name of the dish just print this page and show it to her. Let me start with a little bit of history.
Fork is a recent invention and knife evolved from a dagger.
In fact Europeans did not have utensils until late renaissance. Romans ate lying sideways with their hand until they puke, sign of satisfaction. So whenever you use your utensil remember Koreans have the oldest tradition of utensils. As with utensil, Korean food developed over centuries. The best example is KimChi.
