Different types of cheese with different flavors

Image
 The origin of cheese is said to be that camel or sheep milk was stored in leather pouches made from animals in desert areas for long-term storage, and then naturally evaporated and hardened in the hot desert. In Korea during the Joseon Dynasty, there was a porridge made by adding rice flour to milk called tarakjuk, although its essence was different. In modern times, various types of milk products have been developed and advanced in the West, especially in Switzerland and France. Butter is the fat separated from the useful components of milk, and cheese is the protein separated. Today, this cheese is divided into natural cheese, processed cheese, and imitation cheese. In the past, it was used as a high-quality drinking snack or as a topping for food, but today, it is easy to access and can be consumed in various ways. It has a texture similar to plant-based tofu, but it is a part of a completely different food. We say kimchi as a signal to smile when taking pictures, but in the We...

Korean people who like wine

Image
 Wine is made by fermenting grapes, and when distilled, it becomes brandy, and when distilled from sugarcane, it becomes rum, so it is a type of distilled alcohol like our soju. Yeongdong, Chungcheongbuk-do is also a major grape producing region, but as a county policy, it has introduced wineries and wine trains and is promoting them in various ways on a large scale. Major producing regions include Yeongcheon and Gimcheon in Gyeongbuk, and Hwaseong in Gyeonggi, but recently, it seems that many regions have been cultivating them as a local fruit. We eat grapes as a living thing, and do not process them separately. At best, we have made grape jam or wine, but this is a recent development. The Delaware variety, which has small grains and high sugar content, is not widely known, but is occasionally seen in the market, but the Campbell and Kyoho varieties, which have large grains and high yields, are still the main varieties. Shine Muscat was introduced from Japan a few years ago, and i...

Hangwa, a part of Korean food

Image
 Hangwa is different from what is commonly called Yugwa, and it is also different from Yakgwa. If you look at the traditional manufacturing process for these, it involves a fermentation process, as well as several cooking processes including frying in oil. First, if you look at the manufacturing process, rice flour such as glutinous rice is ground finely and shaped into a certain shape, and it is fermented for about a week in the traditional way on the floor of the room. After that, it is shaped into a certain shape, fried in oil, and then covered with puffed rice, commonly called fried rice. In some cases, it is coated with seasoning such as soy sauce before that. Recently, Yakgwa has suddenly become an issue, tempting general consumers, and Tanghulu temporarily puts fruit in sugar water to make it taste sour and sweet, but it has not overcome the chasm and has ended up dying out. This Yakgwa is also very different from Yakgwa. On the one hand, yakgwa is eaten as a meal replacemen...
