Let's learn basic Korean words related to food.

FYI, if you want to ask 'Do you have (something)' which can be used with foods as well, you can use like this:
..있어요? / (something) It Sir(without R sound) Yo?

For example, for 'Do you have a beer?': 맥주 있어요? / Mac(like in Macintosh) Joo It Sir(without R sound) Yo?

<Food: 음식 / Mmm Sheeck>
Meal: 식사 / Sheek Sa (A as in Aha)
Breakfast: 아침 식사 / Ah Cheem Sheek Sa
Lunch: 점심 식사 / Jum(sounds like Germ without R sound) Sheem Sheek Sa
Dinner: 저녁 식사 / Juh(Sound like Uh in Uh oh) Nee Yuck(sounds like English word Yuck) Sheek Sa
Beer: 맥주 / Mac(like in Macintosh) Joo
Water: 물 / Mool
Cooked Rice: 밥 / Bob (as in name Bob)
Pork belly grill: 삼겹살 / Sam(A as in Aha) GeeYop(G as in Group) Sal(A as in Aha)
Beef(for grill, different from steak): 소고기 / So go(as in Go) gee(G as in Group)
Soju(One of Korean favourite liquor in a green bottle): 소주 / So Joo
Vegetarian Menu: 채식 메뉴 / Cha(A as in Apple) Sheek Menu
Noodle: 국수 / Goog Sue(like name Sue)
Kimchi: 김치 / Geem(G as in Group) Chee(Ch as in Chocolate)
