Sundae stuffed with tripe

Sundae is a common food made by steaming pig intestines with ingredients such as rice and chives. Recently, casings, an edible plastic, are used instead of pig intestines.

In countries where livestock farming developed early on, many similar foods have been developed, but it does not seem that sheep intestines are used in Korea yet. The most representative example is sausages that originated in Germany.

Intestine is a type of organ that already has a shape like a squid body, and it seems to have been used for a long time because various food ingredients can be put inside.

In Korea, it is slightly different in each region, just like chueotang, which has a unique taste in each region. Byeongcheon and Baekam sundae are famous, and they have slightly different tastes and atmospheres.

Every year, ASF (African swine fever) occurs in pigs in Korea, causing pig farms to have difficulties in management and economy. They are also called reckless, referring to running forward without looking back. Pigs always have their heads facing the ground, and it is said that they can only see the sun in the sky once, when they lie upside down when they are slaughtered.

Rather than seeing pigs as stupid and foolish animals, we should see them as animals that teach us wise things.
