1. Chocolate. The chocolate here sucks. How hard can it be? Someone told me they used to make decent chocolate but during the war they didn't have enough sugar so they started rationing it...hence all their chocolate tastes like shit. I don't know if that story is true or not (though I'm sure Brendan will Wikipedia it to find out) but seriously Korea, you're not exactly suffering through economic hardship right now. MAKE ME SOME DECENT FUCKING CHOCOLATE!!! Oh, and in the meantime, can someone from home (or someone from anywhere - I'm not picky!) please send me some????
2. Sandwiches. Why haven't they caught on here?? Why is there no decent bread, meat, and cheese in this country?? Why aren't Subway franchises popping up on every corner? I miss eating good, yummy sandwiches.
Ok, I'm done ranting now. Just had to get that off my chest.

There are no sandwiches because their idea of a Hot Dog is waaaaaaaaay different from what you'd expect!
Bread is very complicated! So is deli meat. Give me your mailing address and I'll FedEx you a ham and colby cheese on wheat.
I make awesome fudge.and brownies..not sure they ship well though:(
I'll hit the little sub shop accross the street ..just for you.
hmmm kirby lane...gingerbread pancakes...
Bart - I would do just about anything for a ham and colby sandwich right about now!!
Trojan - WHY ARE YOU TORTURING ME?!?!?
I have an answer for your question:
1. Korean taste bud prefers a less sugar than the American counterpart.
2. The sandwich do not satisfy Korean's hunger. Even if you eat a foot long Subway sandwich, you still feel empty inside. You gotta have rice, soup, kimchi, and banchan to satisfy Korean's hunger.
These are some of the differences between American and Korean.
Well damn it....fucking come to texas and visit...
Seriously though...Jes..email me what you want and i'll send you a care package...I'm sure there is a way to send chocolate without it winding up a puddle. I could always send you brownie mix too:)
hmm I like Korean chocolate..try White Angel it is really yummy
Sorry to sound pretentious (because I am not), but the best chocolate I had was Belgian, the best ham German, the best latte Italian. No offence intended.
Ok I have as we speak two Hershey's bars on my table that I will never eat!! Send me your address and I'll ship them too you! I do Amazon and Ebay so I ship ALL the time it will be no problem!!
As for the sandwiches.... Maybe thats actualy American cuisine... They should have an American restruant...You know like we "go out for Mexican".....
Have you been to Hannam Super? They have all kinds of foreign goodies there (at a price) Where else in Korea can you buy cottage cheese? They used to have Cadburys (english) chocolate, cheese, ham & salami there and loads of other stuff besides.
To get there take the subway two stops from Yaksu to Hangangjin. Come out exit 2 and head towards the Harley shop. Cross over the road and head down the hill away from the Harley shop. Look for a building with a big sign for Volvo and it's in the basement (actually three different shops). It's only about 200m from the footbridge past a girls college and a sign for the Spanish embassy.
Go there and you should be able to sate yourself.
By the way, I've not been there for 18 months so forgive me if any of the landmarks have changed.
Hmm, forgot to say that in all my time on Korea, I never found really decent bread but they did a pretty good granary at the department store at Express Bus Terminal.
in Korea even....I suppose technically I was on Korea under the effects of gravity but really I'm just clutching at straws and trying to save face.
Note to self: proof-read
It is a simple answer. Every single person has a different togue. Open minds^^
that is kind of bizarre, you go into Korean owned places here and the make the best bread, like Burger-Tex .... mmmm Burger-Tex guess I know where I am going to dinner
If you were here you could have a Golden Gaytime
They were petitioning Subway here in N.Z. today for using battery hen eggs. Sigh. Wish the politically correct would go fug themselves.
Cadburys, Belgian, English, we got it here. Yummy!
imported chocloates are the best.
For wide distribution, I prefer Swiss, but Venezuelan chocolate is the best, it’s just hard to find.
I have a box of Macadamia Nut Clusters chocolate that I bought from California, if you want some. Actally, I forgot that I even had it. You reminded me of it, so let me know if you want some before they are alllll gone.
Hell yeah I want some!!
They don't make my blog in South Korea.
