ok, we've all seen the koreans at incheon airport loading up with boxes of kimchee and shin ramyun before they leave their cherished little penninsula. they just can't seem to live without their fermented cabbage, even for a few days. after spending time in the ROK, have you developed a taste for certain foods that you think you will miss when you leave?
1. kalbi
2. sam gyup sal
3. sa-nak gee
4. sasheemi
5. kim ja tang
6. nakgee bulgogi
7. nangmyun
8. sollung and kalbi tang
9. barbeque eel (what's that stuff called ...chungoh?)
10. sam gya tang
11. kimchee
12. pajang/ buchim
13. samjang/gouchujang
14. soju
15. o-jang ah
16. goikay tang
17. tchigae
18. dokbokgee and sundae
19. tang su yak and ja jam myun
20. bi-bim-bap (mais oui!)
21. ta-kalbi
22. dong dong ju
23. bulgolgi
these are just a few ... excuse me if i mispelled some or got the pronuniciations wrong. |

Also, not on the list: "Heh-jong-guk and Kamjatang" (spicy beef rib soup & beef rib/potato soup)
My favourite drink "su-jong-gwa" which is the very sweet, pine/persimmon tea...
"Chok-bal" - sliced pork hind(?)  |

| I won't miss any of them as they are all available in major north american cities. Plus my wife is Korean and will cook for me. |

I'll really miss the boshintang and that liquefied cat health tonic. Seems i'll have to live my life as an impotent degenerate without such things as bear gall bladder and powdered rhino horn.
The good korean food can be found in any larger supermarket or asian grocery store, not that I would miss anything. |

All of it. I miss all Korean food.
After 3 years in Korea I think I was mostly made of rice and kimchi when I first came back and I missed kimchi a lot.
Now, after a year of meat and potatoes, I miss 'hanshik' a lot less but am looking forward to renewing acquaintance very much. And it took me 3 months to really get to like Korean food too - apart from Kimchi which I took to straight away.
Rambling....Matt |

I can usually find reasonably sallangtang (my favorite) in any North American city at any Korean restaurant.
Galbi is the big one I miss.. generally its around $20/portion of meat if you want to eat it the same as if you were in Korea - meaning cooked at your table and the entire thing. If I have the money I'll go.. but usually I want to share the experience with someone else.. (meaning a date).. and it'll run me a quick $50 at the mimimum.. |

Yes. Just like big houses can only be found in North America and Australia. |

Yep, same for me....wait, I DO the cooking. What's up mate, can't cook?
Also, if you go back 'home' and miss Korean food, visit a Korean church or even a TKD school (with a Korean master, of course) and they'll know where to get 'the goods.'
Shoosh,

| yeah ... most of these korean foods are available in korean towns in north america/ groceries and restaurants .... but somehow it's not the same. it's all a little americanized, overpriced and not as authentic. |

Then you don't know where to shop. Ok, so I've a little edge, in that I grew up in a Korean community.
Overpriced? Yes, but nothing more that what Hannam market (or the like) does with our western goods.
Americanised? Nit. Don't go to the Cracker shops, instead, find the Korean run, Korean shopped marts...they'll have the most popular Korean brands, and a few items made by Koreans in the area. For example, we'll be visited by family at least 2 times yearly, and will have them bring items for making certain foods.....will have way too much for our household, so will sell some to the markets.
