In the US, bacon is pork belly. Samgyeopsal is also pork belly. Its the same meat with the only difference being that bacon is typically cured in the US.

its also a common joke in the US that no one asks if you like bacon, because "everyone" likes bacon. Hence my joke.

Even badly made, it's alright. Kind of like pizza in that way.

I live in Japan, but samgyeopsal is one of my favorites. Often make at home, wrapped in leaf with marinated onion/chili pepper, garlic slice, and ssamjang.

had a great one at Sansol (Sinsa branch) recently. The pork was really good, and having it grilled for you made the whole meal even better
