wow, some posts here have my mouth watering!

since i like korean food, i'm not one to search for places to buy foods from home and pay 4 times the price for them.

here's what i miss that is findable here in seoul - though me thinks too pricey [drumroll]... avacados! i grew up (miami, fl.) with a tree in the back yard and as an adult (nyc/nj), the yummy mexican variety were scrumptious, cheap, and on my dinner table no less than 3 times a week.

i also miss conch rotis, trini style and middle eastern, fast food style.

hey guys

its been a while since writing here as well, just to darn busy! i was just back in new zealand for a well earned break, and well........i was pretty dissapointed as all the foods i thought i craved just didnt live up to the perch i placed them on. pies? well itaewonguy, after one or two of the old mobil corner pies i was well and truly over it, yeah i know there are much better pies out there but .....and all those other things like l&p, martmite, k-bars, etc, had all but lost there appeal. ahh, its better to dream than to have i guess.

but in saying all this, i definately didnt mind grandmas roast lamb and beef...and well any roast really. and...oh yeah, big fat inch thick peices of beef cheaper than a bic mac, oh the joys of home. and sea food, mussels, crayfis, oysters from the shell, fresh snapper, smoked trout and pipis and coockles dug yourself. i love my country!

btw....am now hangin out in frankfurt airport waitin for a mission to go to turkey for 11 days! oh yes, europe is treating me very well! ill be back in january to do it all agin! am i a sucker for punishment? nah, i just miss my kids so much. strange like that. over and out and go the all blacks on saturday. italy and the rest of the world are in for a hiding!oh yes!

Today I had the biggest craving for good raisin bread, but now this feeling has gone.

Easy E.. EVERYTHING you mentioned that you miss can easily be had here!! of course, the beer thing might a little more difficult - depending on your preference, but everything else.. the salsa, HP sauce, etc.. can be found easily
