People  are familiar with pork taste, but we Korean enjoy some special part of pig,
Yes, it is feet, that is called Jokbal(Korean style pork feet)...
and actually it taste fairly good....
Of course German people enjoy pork feet(schwein Haxsen ? or something like that...), but ours are more light and clean in taste....

Jokbal is made by boiling in the seasoned sauce , every Jokbal restaurants claims that theirs sauce is the best.
That means Jokbal's taste depends on the boiled sauce.....

It is served usually like this...

There are many Jokbak restaurant in Seoul, and every famous restaurant has their own taste depending on the boiling sauce(Some claim that they use more than 10 herb and spice...
