It would take 288 years for one person to spend one night in every Las Vegas hotel room. Apple co-founder Steve Jobs once exclusively eight carats for so long that his skin turned orange. In Korea, a sundae is made of cow or pig intestines stuffed with noodles and blood, not ice cream!

Is this one Las Vegas hotel in particular, or ALL the hotels in the city? Two hundred eighty-eight years seems like an awful long time.

105,192 hotel rooms? I would’ve guessed that there’s more.

It’s kind of sad the number of people so ignorant they do not realize the what is described is nothing more than the common sausage. A blutwurst in Germany.

I eat black pudding at least once a week. It’s great with sausages and liver. Delicious.

My first impression of the Korean treat was meh. Like some folks mentioned, it’s just got different names in different countries (black pudding, blutwurst, etc…), and for the most part, they’re all pretty damn tasty.
I think the “unbelievable” part is just that the name they have given it refers to an ice cream dessert here in the west…
Though the next time I’m in a Korean restaurant here in the US, do you think they’ll look at me funny if I order a sundae as my main course?

I was stationed in Korea for a little over a year, and I loved the food. I’m thinking that the Korean word for that particular food item just happens to be pronounced sundae. Beautiful country. Great food. Friendly people.

If a sundae is made out of cow intestines stuffed with noodles it is NOT an “Ice Cream Sundae”.Robert Ripley would be ashamed to print the crap you folks peddle in his name.

This is actually the same as “morcilla” in Puerto Rico: instead of noodles its rice. It is not considered a dessert and mainly eaten during Christmas season.
