💡 What's interesting

Culturally, sundae is a beloved comfort food in Korea, often enjoyed as a late-night snack or with soju, and its name is a fun example of a false friend, as it has no connection to the Western ice cream dessert. Nutritionally, it's a resourceful dish that makes use of offal, transforming ingredients that might otherwise be discarded into a flavorful and nutrient-dense food.
