If this is really true, then their food can't be that bad, now can it? |

Yeah, it does. Sad, really. I am always tempted to bring some kimchie to Canada but end up leaving it in the airplane due to customs fear. |

For those of you who like to complain about Korean food and how it's so lacking in taste and variety, try living on German food. I'm in Germany right now and I swear, if I have to eat another sausage drenched in disgusting cold gravy and boiled potatoes, I will seriously go nuts. Minus the cheese and bread, German food is highly lacking... I honestly think it's worse than English food. Gimme some Samgyeopsal and kimchee jigae already!
But at least they have good beer here. Korean beer sucks! |
British cooks such as Gordon Ramsey and Jamie Oliver are world famous. Name me a single famous Korean cook. |
What the FUC,K does British cooking have to do with German or Korean food you nitwit????????! |

i wish there was more of it in japan. i don't get why people here are always bashing on korean food. if you want breads, hit up paris bagette(sp) or i bet shinsegye or hyundai dept. store have a bakery...in fact i'm sure of it.
damn... |
I agree that Korean food is good, but there is no real bread in Korea. Only fancy hotels carry the real thing and it is too expensive and too inconvenient to consider as an option. Bread in Korea is really cake in the shape of bread. Brown bread is just white bread with molasses added. It's like saying cheese slices are cheese or Uncle Ben's is rice. |

I agree. Also, wayyyy too many breads are loaded with sugar and fresh cream.

| Korean food is good, cheap and there is decent variety. German food is decent, fairly cheap (except their cheeses) and there is comparable variety. English food can be great and its poor reputation is usually from people who have only had bangers and mash or poorly cooked fare. You want poor food? Norwegian, Finnish, Russian, pretty much any east african cuisine (except Ethiopian). Those are poor. |

well, if you haven't, check out this page or paris bagette and see if there's something that strikes your fancy 
http://www.paris.co.kr/bread/bread_list.html?menu1=1&menu2=4&order=1
i'm not a big fan of the bread (sliced bread, that is) in japan. it's cut too thick and it expires quickly. but...i think that if you go around a bit, you can find something... |

Is there really a country with worse food than Korea?
North Korea perhaps? |
Worse food in:
Egypt
Yemen
Jordan (outside Amman)
I'd add Bangladesh too. Not bad food, just gets boring after awhile.
And if it weren't for the influx of foreigners, the whole Arabian peninsula would be much worse as well. |
Eat aweome food in Jordan. Syria kicks it to the curb tho |

| ive been to germany twice and both times had awesome food. the doner kebabs are absolutely necessary after a night of drinking and the curry wurst in Berlin is awesome. pretzels are really great too, try and find them with the cheese in the middle, its like 10 cents more but worth it. |

hahaha! Many Koreans can't even go somewhere for a few days without packing shin ramyon to take with them. I've got nothing against shin ramyon. I eat it once in a while. But, I know a group of Koreans who recently went to Shanghai for 4 days and they took shin ramyon with them and they took a pic of a Korean restaurant they went to while they were there. I was just in Shanghai over Lunar New Year...and believe me, I didn't need shin ramyon! I had good Chinese food and some good German food while I was there, not to mention the bakeries there kick the bakeries in Seoul big time! And despite what many Koreans say, not all Chinese food is greasy. You just have to know what to order. |

| Maybe you could request the vegan option and see if it's any better? |

More to the point they have Shin Ramyon in China.
Also the Chinese food Koreans eat is way more greasy and sticky than food in China. |

Dude, I tried the doner kebabs (which is Turkish, by the way) and the currywurst...but you can't live on that crap every day for weeks straight, no matter how good it tastes. I pretty much ate Italian every day, but even the Italian food in Germany was sub par...other than their beer and bread, food in Germany just sucks, period. Germans have strange tastes.
Best meal of the day by far was breakfast. My hotel had a pretty good spread of yogurt, muesli and different kinds of breads with butter, jam and honey and excellent coffee. |
