Beef ribs are seasoned with spices and condiments, matured for some time, and barbecued at Sutbul(charcoal fire).

It is a delicacy in Ttukbaegi(earthern bowl) served with vegetables and Kimchi after boiling various fresh-water fishes together with their bones, cleaning the fishes, boiling them with Gochujang(red hot pepper paste) or Doenjang(soybean paste), and later putting rice and Sujebi(wheat flakes) with spices like Daepa(big green onion), ginger, garlic, and sesame leaves.
For more than 40 years, Sapgyo areas have offered Gopchanggui(roast chitterlings) barbecued at briquet fire and Gopchangjeongol(chitterlings with vegetables boiled in casserole) cooked with various seasons, whose hard, lumpy, and chewy tastes as well as nutty, fresh, and somewhat spicy flavors are beyond comparison.
