Ha, I wonder if it's a cognate or a loanword.

I really wondered that too and i found this in wikipedia;

Mandu are believed to have been first brought to Korea by Mongolians in the 14th century during the Goryeo Dynasty.[3] The state religion of Goryeo was Buddhism, which discouraged consumption of meat. Mongolian incursion into Goryeo relaxed the religious prohibition against consuming meat, and mandu was among the newly imported dishes that included meat.

So, it appears like we brought manti from central Asia. Wow, i would never thought it`s that old

Some BIZARRE FOOD

I know that Greeks and balkanites loves those "bizarre" ones Balkanites loves kokorec and especially Greeks likes iskembe soup at 5am, after hardcore raki night, just like we do

I believe we brought these bizarre ones from central Asia too. I mean, boiled sheep heads and stuff like that perfectly suits to semi-nomadic life. I also know that Kazakhs, Kyrgyzs loves these too.

But myself, i don't eat any animals head. I usually drink iskembe if i am drunk.

I hate kokoretsi and patsas . I hate the ingridients of kokoretsi (Ewww) and even the smell of Patsas make me want to throw.
But men usually eat Patsas, mostly after hangover.
Disgusting.

Then why Koreans says Mandu?

Is that means Mongolians was calling it as Manti just like we do in 14th century? but the modern Mongolians today says buuz? So, was there Turkic peoples among them in 14th century?

Same here, both for the kokorec and iskembe. Usually women doesn't eat that stuff but men only

I have a friend here who runs a hotel. He has some Greek friends from Chios island. We were doing raki nights with them and it was the first time i heard that Greeks also drinks iskembe corba. It was 5am and they asked for iskembe corba and i was like "wtf, you drink it too?"

Well, kokoretsi its more ''acceptable'' from women, but I am very against it .
Actually, I dislike everything that has to do with intestines, plus sausages, or ''mageiritsa''
You , men, can eat everything

I am English and very conservative, i was brought up by a very victorian mother, i was raised to believe that all foreign food like Turkish for example would be bad for me as it was a very well known fact that foreigners do not wash their hands when having been to the toilet.
