(Source: AFP ) The meal to be served at the state dinner for US President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump in Seoul. Fermented food including soy sauce is a staple in South Korean cuisine, with soy sauces made by famous artisans and fermented for decades or centuries sold for tens of thousands of dollars per litre. In one food show in 2012, a group of artisans displayed soy sauce they claimed had been made 450 years ago, with a price tag of 100 million won (USD 90,000). The Seoul meal also features a prawn that Moon’s office said was caught near a disputed island claimed both by the South and Japan.
