I found the tortilla factory in Incheon today. They even sell cheese there. Unfortunately, it's in 2.5 kg chunks. Actually, I believe it's a shredded mozeralla-cheddar mix. But still. 2.5 kg!?! OMG. Who can eat 2.5 kg of cheese?

I go through about 750g of edam, 200g of feta and brie and about 100g of parmesan every week, and that's just by myself. 2.5kg isn't that much to deal with.

If I had some variety, it would probably be easier. I think (I didn't get to see the cheese itself, as it is sold out of an office) it's a shredded mix. So sandwiches would be more or less out. But I guess I could still use it to make pizzas, quesadillas, and omelets.

I've been drivin' about Korea for 2 weeks now and notice there isn't much roadkill (compared to Central Florida). Not sure whether to be relieved or saddened.... !shoosh, Ryst

Are you in Incheon? It's about a 10-15 minute walk from Dong-mak station (furthest south on the Incheon line).

The map can be found here: http://www.nhtortilla.co.kr/html/com_04.html

You have to go up to the office on the 2nd floor. Green 10" tortillas are on sale - 2 packs of 12 each for W9,000. Other prices can be found here:

They also take on-line orders, but I don't see the cheese listed.

Thanks huffster. I'm definitely going to give that place a visit. Now, anyone know where to score garbanzo beans?

Yes. They often go under the name Chickpeas and can be found in the canned foods section in import groceries like Shinsegae, and are surely on the shelves of the middle-eastern shops in Itaewon.

Now, can we please get back to discussing Princess's ongoing war against man's oldest enemy, The Sun (or was it over-priced handmade sweaters?)

Thanks man. Now I have a massive bag of shredded cheddar cheese in my fridge. That's a lot of friggin' cheese.

I also have hard corn tortillas. Very Happy

Do you have a toaster oven? A toaster oven is the most important thing for getting through large amounts of cheese quickly.

I have a little toaster over under my stove burners. I cooked a small frozen pizza in it once and charred the pizza. What are we talking here? Sandwich melts? Mini-pizzas? Enchiladas?

Sandwich melts is what I'd be looking at, although here we call it "cheese on toast". Even just melting the grated cheese on a piece of bread in the process of making a conventional sandwich is pimpstyle. Mini-pizzas and enchiladas I'm thinking you'd need an oven to get things really cooking.

How about cheese sauce for pasta? Make a roux + cheese and whatever else. Can't go wrong.

Okay, that's a good start. I'll try some tuna melts tonight.
