hi.. is there anyone who knows everything about a dish called "dweaji kalbi" and "kalbi gui"? i would like to know more about these dish.. how did they got the name dweaji/kalbi/gui.. and what's basically the difference.. thanks -- kaye

dwaeji galbi combines the Korean word for pig/pork 'dwaeji' with 'galbi', and so basically means pork short ribs in English. This contrasts with 'so' galbi, or beef short ribs. 'Gui' usually connotes a meat which is broiled, so I would guess that galbi gui would be broiled short ribs, but I'm not absolutely certain of the particulars of the dish. --Zonath 03:15, Apr 29, 2005 (UTC)

hi zonath, thanks for the immediate reply..i really appreciated it.. also, now i know the right spelling of their names.. now i'm up to researching more details about them (like their history, how popular they are to the consumers, and what makes them special..) can anyone suggest a good site to know more about these korean foods? i'll really appreciate any suggestion..thanks again --kaye


Well, for starters, try googling 'galbi' or 'kalbi', as both spellings are commonly used. Also, the Korean National Tourist Organization has a good site on Korean food here [1] which might be of interest to you. --Zonath 14:11, Apr 29, 2005 (UTC)
