When we were recently in the Pedersen household we watched Della (under 2 years old) get what she wanted by pointing and making sounds.  Now that we're in Korea, I have become Della.  Today we were walking through a food market and spotted some items that looked good.  I pointed and grunted and the lovely woman behind the counter said gimbap.  I nodded and soon the two of us were eating the delightful little rolls: seaweed rolled around rice, yellow radish, and carrot with some sesame seeds sprinkled on the outside.  She served them with a little dish of sauce and the woman next to me nodded when we mimicked sticking the roll in the sauce before eating.  Whew!  It was like super-hot horseradish, but lovely with the simple roll.  Point, grunt, and eat.  So much fun!
