i really enjoy this type of information....so i thought i might share with you all....the 감자탕 myths....

 

did you know that there are 2 myths on why its called gamja

 

1. the part of teh pigs body thats in the soup is the spine.  back in teh day the spinal cord was referred to as "gamja"

2. when u divide the pigs spine into pieces they think the divded pieces were reffered to as "gamja bone"

originally not made with potato because korea did not have potatoes at that time.  it was not imported until some emperor took over.
