A tasty irony indeed.<br /><br />If we're thinking of the same smelly things, that's bundaegi 번대기, isn't it? Silkworm pupae, which you can also get canned in the store. Though why you would, I can't begin to imagine.Tuttlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06492955225793619768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1125128490848394328.post-18738221324760117322010-12-09T08:39:01.963+09:002010-12-09T08:39:01.963+09:00골뱅이 is some kind of snail - look in the grocery st...골뱅이 is some kind of snail - look in the grocery store next trip, and you'll see cans of it. Is this also the foul-smelling tiny snails you can buy on the street???<br /><br />But you're right, it's not in any dictionary I can find - even my 3000 page/ea K-E and E-K Dong-A Prime paper(bang) dictionaries! Which interestingly shows snail as 달팽이, not 뱅. <br /><br />I think we need some help from a Korean-American biologist (or chef).Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03461699923609505432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1125128490848394328.post-26838131534563536402010-12-09T08:30:46.944+09:002010-12-09T08:30:46.944+09:00Perhaps you need a "Leaders' Baton",...Perhaps you need a "Leaders' Baton", like I bought my Dad (a professor) a few years back.

And there are too many names for the number symbol to even list.
