Here's another link to some good explanations of Korean food:

I had a great experience today. I went to one of the biggest Oriental
grocery stores in town, Sagara Mart, and it was spectacular! It was
like stepping into a foreign country. All the different foods were
totally exciting. They had blue-legged crabs crawling around in a
sack, all kinds of already prepared stuff, frozen fish laying out.
I wasn't going directly home or else I would have bought some of the
heat-and-eat stuff and tried it out. I settled for some Thai chili
sauce with a recipe on the back with ingredients that I understood.

I had a wonderful time. I wandered up and down every aisle several
times. I've got to come up to speed on it enough to cook some of
the dishes. It's hard to decide where to start.
