Know Your Cuts of Meat

It was a quiet weekend that wasn't supposed to be. Saejin and I had planned to join our friends in Suncheon on Saturday but the last flight out of Seoul left at 6:30 and Saejin was still stuck at work. To make up for it, we treated ourselves to a good meal and wine at a French Restaurant in Itaewon.

Later on in the night we met up with Yun Jeong for some beer before we deciding to see a movie. Time problems continued to follow us as the last showing was at 12:30 and we got there at 1:00 am. To make up for it, we went to find some street food. There were three tents lined up on the street and we gambled on the empty tent being the best. Not a wise pick as the hammered server struggling to keep her eyes open cooked up some awful grub. To fill in the uncomfortable silences the bad food and drunk lady brought on we tried to identify all the meat on the table.

Can you guess these yummy bits of animal? If you get it right I'll buy you a drink.

I see tentacle...

The rest look a bit kidney-ish but could be raw clams.
Are they glands of some kind?

Full marks to you for food bravery!
