I chose this video after I scrutinized the web site of NYtimes video.

I was a little suprised for finding a video about Korea. And it talks about Korean food!

What a nice subject! It's not robot science. Those reason deserve to watch.

Summary :

The editor visited Seoul, Korea and tried to eat original operating food.

Seoul is the South Korea's capital. There is awesome place to it.

Korean food is amazingly vary ; grilled fish, noodle stew, quick snack, kimchi

There are many innovative food.

They visited the Myeong-dong and Noryangjin. In Myeong-dong they tried to eat non-Korean spaghetti with ice cream corn and in Noryangjin tried to eat Hoe which is called Sashimi in U.S.

Noryangjin is the main seafood market in Seoul. One editor was surprised the number of food which comes with whatever customers order and live octopus.

Some people those spaghetti and live octopus are strange but for him those are just flavor of sort.

Vocab :

- innovative adj) (of a product, idea, etc.)featuring new methods; advanced and original

(There are many innovative food.)

(The store's products are innovative and effective.)

Opinion :

I watched this video at 11p.m. I was so hungry while I was watching and also I missed the authentic Korean food especially Hoe. In Korea I can eat cheap fresh raw fish. The quality is good comparing to price.

Like editor's narration some food seem odd for foreigners but if you tried that, you wouldn't to say again and you even might be like that. I'm sure. Specially, if you like spicy food, you should try Korean food. It might be your flavor I guess.

Try authentic Korean food when you'll visit Korea or everywhere.
