Marinated Rectum: Korean Food

Friday, January 6th, 2012

ARiSu restaurant in Koreatown has an item on its BBQ menu that’s been getting people’s attention. The English label says it’s “marinated rectum.”

Korean Food: Marinated Rectums: Arisu BBQ: Makchang

In hangeul, it’s 막창 (makchang). The rectum is the final straight portion of the large intestine, so that makes sense. “Mak” in Korean is used to refer to the last or the end portion of something.

Large intestines are called 대창 (daechang), with Dae being the Sino-Korean prefix that means big. Small intestines have the linguistic equivalent of 소창 (sochang), but Koreans are more likely to say 곱창 (gopchang) for small intestines.

These are all popular grilled items to eat while drinking soju!
