Notes
(The following notes come from "A Fritter Called Jeon: ProjectMoon" on Postype)
^ (Note 1) Jeon (전/煎): A fritter (though it’s also referred to as a pancake) made by seasoning whole, sliced, or minced fish, meat, vegetables, etc., and coating them with wheat flour and egg wash before frying them in oil.
However, jeon is also short for jeoneun (저는), which means “I am”. While we usually prefer to write the foods out in their romanized forms of the Korean words (as to reflect their unique preparation and presentation relevant to Korean culture), the light usage of “fritter” at points in this translation is an attempt at providing similar puns when they appear.
^ (Note 2) Pajeon (파전): A jeon whose prominent ingredient is scallions or spring onion.
^ (Note 3) Modeum-jeon (모듬전): An assortment of various types of jeon. (The type of jeon is determined by its ingredients, particularly its most prominent one.)
^ (Note 4) Makgeolli (막걸리): A Korean alcoholic beverage. It’s a rice wine that is milky, off-white, and lightly sparkling; it has a slight viscosity that tastes slightly sweet, tangy, bitter, and astringent. It’s typically unpasteurized in Korea, however foreign exports of it will be.
