Awhile back at one of my favorite watering holes they served the best popcorn I've ever had. Alas, one day they ran out and served a bowl of dry Frosted Flakes (yes, the breakfast cereal) with our beer. Have you ever had a side dish (freebie or paid) or seen something on the menu that was worse than that?
On a similar though slightly less offensive note, for some strange reason the microbreweries in Busan like the idea of a half loaf of bread with butter and honey as a good compliment to beer. Go figure. |

I think I prefer the bread and honey with beer over a plate of watermelon and chocolate covered corn puffs. Ughh
Actually, the idea of honey with beer sounds intriguing. I've been known to like a honey brown ale whereas the idea of a raspberry wheat ale makes my stomach churn. Hazelnut beer is also a treat in my books.
I hope I haven't thrown the thread off already. |

I had coffee bread today. It was a bad as you can imagine coffee bread to be.

I used to find it weird that many Koreans would down copious amounts of whiskey and then sip on some milk later on. Then I tried it: it coats the stomach!
You�ll be grateful the morning after
Weirdest anju� Hmmmm�. Dried squid. It smells like sweaty butt and tastes like bland boot leather (and only smells worse once it�s re-cooked)�
Slightly unrelated � I used to see a Japanese teacher while in Korea. Her big thing when cuddling up over a movie was to cook each potato chip over the candle (used as romantic �ambience� or at least that was what it was SUPPOSED to be used for) before eating them!
�Real men drink on empty stomachs and cough up their intestines� � something I wished Sam Peckinpah had said�
Cheers,
Joe |

| I like the sound of honey and bread with beer. The strangest sidedish I can think of was some kind of salty fermented raw fish. Kind of like myulchi but raw and wet and saucy like. Nasty stuff. Extremely strong taste too. |

Milk, ice cream, and spearmint are all good at protecting the stomach from indigestion and other business of that nature. If I have a rough night out, I try to pick up one of those cheap ice creams here to help mellow out the effects the next day. It'll make you fatter than ever, but I don't drink enough to have it really make a difference. |

Anything sweet. Don't like sweet and beer.
Pretzels coated with sugar.
The white crystals made them look like salted pretzels. |
