In the US, taverns serve peanuts and popcorn with your favorite beverage. In Korea, you're
at least as likely to get shredded dried squid to munch with your beer,
makkoli, or
soju.

Squid are also served in many other dishes, and are even one of the powdered
ingredients for some flavors of packaged ramyan noodles. (This easy-to-fix instant
soup is at least as popular in Korea as in the States, but the Korean version comes
in a larger package, usually with an extra packet of dried vegetables and other goodies.)
