One of my new favorite things to make: pickled eggs!
I brought a jar of pickled beetroot back from the UK last week, and added a few to get that pretty pink color, but even without, they're a great way to have an egg a day without having to cook for breakfast. One of those, a mug of tea, and a few mandarin oranges and it's a nice, light meal. |

Homeplus in Jamsil has hot dog buns. I have also seen Johnsonville (not great but better than nothing) bratwursts and Italian sausage there, although not on a regular basis. They just spring up every now and then. |

The foreign food market in Itaewon (the main one) has cottage cheese.
I have also been informed that the E-mart at Yongsan station has it, but I'll have to check that out. |

About a week ago, I roasted some halved cherry tomatoes in my oven. I didn't add any oil or spices, because, after they were finished, I put the roasted tomatoes and some basil leaves in some olive oil. I let them infuse for about 4 or 5 days, then made some whole-wheat spaghetti, added pesto, and the roasted tomatoes. I served it with a poached egg on top. Nomnomnom
Now, I have the olive oil and basil leaves left over, so am going to brush it over some whole-wheat pizza dough with some sliced tomatoes and bake it this weekend. |
That sounds amazing. Where did you get fresh basil? I'd try growing it but the last time I tried it died. |

I usually just get it from Itaewon or my friend, who grows it. Mine died too. I just don't have the space for a garden, like back home. Ah well.
One of my friends makes cheeses, and has recently started making feta (he already made brie, blue, a hybrid of the two, fresh mozzarella, and a ricotta-style cheese) which I used to make whole-wheat English muffin pizzas today.
Tomorrow, I'm pickling beets and hard boiled eggs. |

That's awesome. Do you know where your friend gets the seeds? I think I might try growing it again. |

Just letting everybody know since I read the food thread and didn't see a mention of it, there's a Dean & Deluca's in the basement of the Shinsegae department store in Seocho/Gangnam (Express Bus Terminal station). You can find TONS of things there that you can't find at most other places in Seoul. I saw goat cheese, steel cut oats, sage, and real vanilla extract, among other things. A bit on the expensive side compared to the way some just-out-of-college expats live, but pretty standard if you're used to the cost of living in New York or London or other big cities. |

I've seen the Johnsonville brats at Costco. I've seen sauerkraut at Foreign Food Mart in Itaewon. |

Hey,
I got a major craving for pies recently, and decided to try and whip a couple up at my school (there's a kitchen).
My question, I've never been a pro at making pastry, generally springing for frozen pie shells.
Has anyone seen frozen pie shells in Korea? (I live in Incheon)
If I can't track them down I'll just jury-rig something with cracker crumbs and butter |

Could anyone please suggest me a store which sells canned curry pastes? I am talking about the ones where you can get from Canada, USA, UK and India...
Should I try Itaewon?
I brought couple cans over, LOL, but I'm running low!

Large tub of plain (unsweetened) yogurt now available at Yongsan IPark Mall E-Mart. It is a bit on the mild side (not very tangy) but not sweet. It's by Maeil brand. At first I thought it was the large Denmark sour cream, looks very similar but the label is white. Costs a little under 5000 won for 900 g. |
