Beondegi/Bundaeggi 번데기
Bundaeggi is silkworm larvae boiled in a broth of soy sauce and sugar in order to enhance the taste of the bug. The larvae live inside trees so they have a tree bark taste with a crunchy outside and a soft center. This type of food originated during the Korean war and was eaten for its high protein content and other scarce nutrients that weren't abundant at the time. Bundaeggi is eaten by a lot of elderly South Koreans because it is something they grew up with and are used to eating it. It is made in the streets in huge cauldrons and is normally eaten while drinking soju, the Korean rice wine.
