Kimbop

As I mentioned in the last post "bop" means rice.  "Kim" means seaweed.  "Kimbop" is rice and seaweed and served in one of two ways.  First, and more traditionally, as a sushi-type roll with seaweed on the outside, then rice and then a menage of veggies and, sometimes, fish.  We've had it once and had tuna on the inside.  Interestingly, this was not Japanese-sushi tuna.  Rather, it was tuna with mayo in a sushi role.  Was still delicious, but unexpected by me (Seren knew better).  Cost per roll is about $1.80.

The other kimbop is a sandwich of sorts.  A triangle of seaweed, stuffed with rice and a bonus.  We've had it with just (1) spicy sauce, (2) tuna and spicy sauce and (3) tuna and mayo (american sandwich style).  This costs about $0.50 and is sold in all convenience stores (including 7-11).
