The Husband's Kimchi...a look ahead to THK2

it's my turn to play the Great Meal Chooser and so i've chosen korean to be the theme of our next dinner. a google search for "korean cuisine" returned 2,550,000 pages so i'm sure there's something there that will be difficult for me to get wrong...and for whoever is doing the dessert.

i read that a full course meal is known as a hanjongshik. in it's simplest form it is made up of boiled rice, soup, kimchi (highly seasoned veg) and 3, 5, 7 or 12 banchan (side dishes). we'll probably do 3, but they'll be really good, promise:). unfortunately this time it won't include spicy boshintang - i'd hate to be the one to pop over to the butchers in stillorgan and ask for labrador fillet.

dian, i think you're the 'wildcard' this month so could i ask you to make one of the banchan? we'll have to decide which one so there's no overlap. all that's left is to fix a date...matt+joanna i think we'll leave that to you since you've the busiest calendar around our scheduled date.
