[edit] Etymology

What is the etymology of this word? Badagnani (talk) 22:32, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

I can't find any but the picture looks terrible. It is not an authentic jeongol because the dish in the picture should be "pretty" in various colors.[1] Jjigae is for commoners, while jeongol was a dish for upper class people.--Appletrees (talk) 22:47, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Oh, I see. This was a free photo and that is the nature of Wikipedia. Can you see if any of the other linked photos in the article are good? Badagnani (talk) 22:49, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, I added that. So it was like gujeolpan. So was jeongol a dish in royal cuisine? Badagnani (talk) 22:52, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Sinseollo is a varitey of jeongol and is a royal court cuisine. However every jeongol are not only for royalty. --Appletrees (talk) 22:58, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
Why do you say "however," then, if they're both royal dishes? Badagnani (talk) 23:00, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
I often miss to write not' or no. --Appletrees (talk) 23:02, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
Was gujeolpan only for royalty, but also for upper-class non-royal Koreans? Badagnani (talk) 23:21, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Etymology dictionary

Can you check http://korean.go.kr/08_new/index.jsp and see what it says about beef? Badagnani (talk) 22:49, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

No information about etymology. It says

Jeongol :n. a dish mixed with sliced meat, or seafood, vegetables, mushrooms, and seasonings, broth poured a little in jeongolteul (전골틀, a flat pot only for jeongol)

명」잘게 썬 고기에 양념, 채소, 버섯, 해물 따위를 섞어 전골틀에 담고 국물을 조금 부어 끓인 음식..--Appletrees (talk) 22:56, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

It says "meat," not "beef"? Also, can there be a jeongol without seafood? The Korean royal court cuisine article compares it to a chowder, which is a seafood stew. Badagnani (talk) 23:03, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

In Korea, "고기" generally refers to nothing but beef, and I have not heard of jeongol made with pork or chicken. The two citations I added say about beef included in jeongol. In sogogi jeongol (소고기 beef jeongol), seafood is excluded but various mushrooms are added. In case, the jeongol is pretty much similar to bulgogi. --Appletrees (talk) 23:10, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Added a list of jeongol; please supplement as necessary. What does the 왕 in 왕만두전골 mean? Badagnani (talk) 23:19, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

I think we can take out "왕", because it is like "extra large" cheese burger. --Appletrees (talk) 23:30, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Haha, fine. Badagnani (talk) 23:30, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Which broth

Which kind of broth is used? Badagnani (talk) 23:21, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

It vary on recipe and types. --Appletrees (talk) 23:29, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
