I'm going to talk about specific food that I love that I think other people should try immediately: Dolsot Bibimbap.
Here, have story about the first time I ate some:
It's a Korean food, which isn't super common yet, so I hadn't tried it until I was in college. I was at a Korean restaurant with a few of my friends, and only one of them had been to a Korean restaurant long enough to know what she was doing, so she ordered for us.
When the food arrived, she was away from the table answering a phone call, so we had no idea what we were doing. We all took spoonfuls of the Bibimbap, and it was okay, just vegetables and rice, still sizzling in a stone pot. When my friend came back, she looked at all of us like we were crazy. "That's not how you eat it," she said, and then proceeded to show us how it was done. She poured in the hot sauce and then mixed it, the rice and the vegetables and the meat all together, and all of a sudden, this previously bland, previously boring dish had flavors! and textures! and color! It was crazy good.
Nowadays, it's pretty much something I order every time I go to a Korean restaurant. I love the fact that it has so many different components. I love the weird DIY part of having to mix it yourself. I love being able to make it really spicy or not really spicy. I love the crispy rice thing that happens at the bottom if you don't mix it super thoroughly.
So yeah, definitely recommended that you try it out yourself the next time you're in a Korean restaurant. Make sure to get it in a stone bowl.
And don't forget to stir it before you dig in.
