When you get BBQ, you get a plate of pork/beef/seafood. Then you get rice(if you want it) and a lettuce type vegetable, and a bunch of sauces. Then you normally get a soup, and 6-7 other small dishs with food in them. These are different foods that you eat with the meal. Most of them are fairly strong, and I dont think most people end up consuming all of them. Its really hard for to describe these side dishs because I have no idea what some of them consist of. They are usually pickled vegetables and stuff like that along with different varieties of tofu, whatever. Very good stuff. Ill let more Koreans speak on these side dishs.

As far as the side dishes go, it really varies from place to place or even day to day in a given place. You'll often find a variation of:
Different kimchees: standard napa kimchee, radish kimchee, turnip, cucumber etc. etc. Almost anything can be made into kimchee.
Pickled beansprouts
Dried cuttlefish or squid
Dried anchovies
"Tempura" vegetables
Something gelatenous (like acorn jello)
Spinach prepared with sesame oil, sesame seeds, salt, etc.
Marinated potato dish
Something between mashed potatoes and potato salad
Fish
Various marinated roots
and on and on and on...

How complicated are these dishs to prepare? Would you say that most of them can kept overnight. If you were to run a restaurant, these are prepared every thursday and monday, and then kept the rest of the week, etc...
