| Quick question: does Costco have a good selection of deli style meats, in particular, turkey breast or other low-fat cuts? |

| It has a variety of pre-packaged deli meats. Still kind of expensive, though. Not sure if they carry turkey. There isn't much fresh deli stuff, so you're better off going to the deli at Hannam market. You'll pay quite a bit no matter where you go. |

| Thanks Mr. Jones, guess I'll stick with fresh boneless chicken breast. |

The local Lotte Mart in Junggye "USED" to have smoked turkey breast. I was there last week, and they no longer had any. Other branches may still carry it. The brand name was Dietz & Watson. Good stuff. I will be going shopping again today, and let you know if they restocked or if it is gone.
The selection of deli meats at Costo or more along the lines of prosciutto or salami, and they are over priced. |

I got turkey breast lunch meat at Costco a few months ago. It was Hormel Natural Choice, and it was pretty good. They also had chicken, which I didn't try. But the last time I went to Costco, they were sold out of the turkey breast and chicken, and only had ham. I hope they'll restock the turkey.
The Dietz&Watson turkey doesn't taste very good, in my opinion, and it has a slimy texture. Sometimes I buy it, though, when it's available 1+1 (Buy 1, get 1 free). I think I've also seen it at other dept store groceries, such as Shinsegae.
Sometimes you can get sliced turkey at the deli inside the Hannam Supermarket building. |
