Sundae (순대) or Korean Black Pudding / Blood Sausage is an easily found Korean street food. However it’s often one of those things that people overlook due partly because of it’s appearance. As with a traditional sausage it’s a pig or cow intestine filled with meat, glass noodles (normally soaked in blood) as well as vegetables and other ingredients (it depends on the region and style).
Thoughts: We personally really like Sundae and will whenever possible have some whilst eating Tteokbokii. It’s also normally pretty cheap with a place from a street seller costing between ₩2,000 and ₩4,000 ($2 to $4) and a 1kg supermarket version costing between ₩10,000 and ₩15,000 ($10 to $15).
If you want to try some traditional Korean food then Sundae should be on your list. Also unlike Kimchi and Tteokbokii it isn’t spicy.

This black pudding looks delicious!
I Love Korean food. http://backpackerlee.wordpress.com/2013/12/01/korean-foodporn/
It’s a pity lots of people are quite squeamish about eating blood sausages nowadays. I’m a big fan of British black pudding, but it’s getting increasingly harder to find! It’s good to see that they’re still going strong elsewhere.
Reblogged this on Seoul for my soul and commented:
Ummmm, Although I am sure this wonderful and I would like to say I would be willing to try it. I am afraid that would be a lie. But I am willing to share for others. 🙂
