it tastes better than it looks or so I hear. The only concerning point is that people have choked on this while drunk as it sticks to whatever it can latch on to and throat is not the ideal place....need to chew this until it stops squirming....your life may depend on it, more so when you are drunk and think this is hangover food.

This will be one of the first things I will try if and when I am in Korea. I'm not bothered by it since I'm Korean but I can understand the reaction, I'm sure Hindus aren't too thrilled by our cow consumption either.
