Give a Man a Fish, and He Will Eat It In Two Bites

A student gave me a small snack as soon as I arrived at work. Not the traditional apple that we expect teachers to receive, but a crispy pungobbang! What on God's green earth is that, you ask, screaming mere inches from the monitor?

It's a tiny carp shaped pastry filled with semi-sweet red bean paste. Yeah, and you better believe it's delicious. Nothing like simulating eating a fish filled with thick piping hot guts. It's like the hot pocket of Korea.

Don't get me wrong, it's a snack that is satisfying and delicious, plus a sack of four costs a buck, you can't go wrong. You can get
the scoop on some of the most popular Korean street snacks yourself.

pungobbang? Isn't that when a use of a bad pun joke blows up in your face?
