"Old soldiers don't die. They just fade away..." - General Douglas MacArthur 

After starting off with a great deal of action early on, the Korean War would quickly wind down into a stalemate, but that doesn't mean that there wasn't any mire excitement left in the conflict. 

Join the Hungry Historian as he takes you through those tension filled years of the stalemate in Korea, which at times would become reminiscent of the action along the Western Front during World War I.

From there, you'll learn about the negotiations and events that would ultimately lead to a cease fire being signed, and the human cost that it took to get there.

As a featured recipe, Chef Money has prepared a late night favourite from the Korean peninsula and one that you'll want to wash down with your favourite suds - Korean Fried Chicken
