Now we are at a Guangdong market, which is the first permanent market built in Korea
0:18
It was built in 1905. It actually started out as a market that's selling everything, from textiles
0:24
agricultural and marine products to street food. But nowadays, it's most well-eastern
0:30
known for its street food. We're starting out with one of the most popular food items at the market
0:36
Andrew, this smells really good. In front of us is the mong bean pancakes
0:41
They're called Bindet Duk in Korean. I see her back there grinding the beans. Mm-hmm
0:46
Those are soaked mong beans that are being grounded. In these pancakes, there are mung beans, there's pork, there are veggies
0:54
These pancakes are so cheap to make. In Korea, they were called the commoner's dish, because
1:00
When the famine struck in Korea, the noble people would make tons of these pancakes
1:06
and spread them out to the port so no one was hungry. It's so funny when you travel that you look at these foods
1:13
but then you associate them with foods that you know. And in Japan, there's Okonomiyaki
1:19
Yeah, in Switzerland, there are like potato pancakes as well. So I think..

2:22
