Hello readers!
I am back with a new set of street food that I hope you could try. I hope this helps you enjoy some of our culture.
First I want to introduce roasted chestnuts and corn. In the fall, farmers harvest chestnuts and corn. Then street food will roast these in a pot and sell them to passerby. Fresh roasted chestnuts are especially good on cold, wintry days.
Swirly fries (known in Korea as "hurricane potatoes") are also popular foods. Vendors make these by putting a whole potato in a special machine that will cut the potato into a swirly pattern. After the potato is fried and cooled, customers season it according to their own tastes.
Last but not least is the Ppop-gi. This is made by melting sugar. The vendors who sell it melt sugar in a small pot and then put it on a flat plate to let it cool. Then they then use a cookie cutter to stamp it with a shape but do not punch it all the way through so that a shape is imprinted on the candy. Then customers will poke the popp-gi to punch the shape out.
I hope you could enjoy these foods on your visit next time!^^

On an unrelated note, did you have some writing you wanted me to look over to get ready for the TOEFL?
