One of the weirdest sounding, but extremely tasty and popular eat amongst the locals is pigs feet, literally. 족발 is one thing that a lot of Koreans go crazy for, I mean crazy. Although it is not a popular dish amongst foreigners, it is definitely something to try. When served, pig's feet doesn't look as bad as you may think it is. It is quite appealing and looks like regular pork meat. Pig's feet is usually used for making broths for all kinds of soups, but Koreans sure know how to put a twist on this ingredient and make it something spectacular. Cooked full of flavor, the pig's feet is sliced and served with a dish of vegetables. To be enjoyed like BBQ meat, you can wrap and dip in a special sauce that it is served with. Because it is pig's feet, it is served with the full on fat, crunchy pieces of cartilages and occasionally, a few pieces of bones. The bones are one thing to look out for, but this dish does taste a lot better than it sounds. 
In addition to being served as whole, sliced up, pigs feet is also incorporated with a handful of other meats, usually sea food, stirred up for your enjoyment. When stir fried with other ingredients, it usually includes a ton of spice, a level beyond imaginable for many foreigners so be careful when ordering!
