Gujeolpan (literally "dish of nine dishes") is a traditional Korean dish. It consists of nine divided sections in the dish which separates many different meats and vegetables by color. This dish is also a major decoration along with being a food platter. This dish is used to serve many dishes of food at once.

[edit] History and aesthetic appeal

The history of gujeolpan dates back as early as the 14th century in which it has become closely associated with the Joseon royalty. The octagonal dish itself can be made of wood or plastic and its divided into eight side sections and one center section; slightly resembling a flower. It also can include elaborate carvings, gem encrustations and detailed drawings. Original royal gujeolpan dish platters can be observed in museums as featured artifacts in royal table setting reconstructions. Gujeolpan is considered to be one of the most beautiful and colorful centerpiece Korean dishes. The nine sections are carefully divided and assorted with an appropriate amount of assorted meats and vegetables to make it colorful and aesthetically appealing. It has even been said that author Pearl S. Buck was so amazed by the beauty and colorful appearance of gujeolpan that she could not stop praising it, and as a result, refused to eat it as she did not want to "destroy such a beautiful thing by eating it."

[edit] Consumption

What was once available to Korean nobility can now be enjoyed by anyone in many places in Korea that specialize in preparing ancient Korean cuisine (though in some establishments it can be quite expensive). It is also sometimes prepared for wedding banquets. Each of the outer sections has different varieties of meat and vegetables, such as carrots, mushrooms, beef, bean sprouts, leeks, radishes, etc. while the center section is usually reserved for miljeonbyeong, which are small circular, paper-thin wheat flatcakes similar, though smaller than those served with the Chinese dish moo shu pork. These are used to wrap the various meats and vegetables from each of the eight sections. Gujeolpan consumers pick and choose from the various eight sections, put them on a sheet of miljeongbyeong, wrap it and eat it whole.
