I know this thread is about cheese, but I miss vanilla coke too!
And of course I miss cheese, but I don't think you can compare me to the Koreans who travel abroad and only want to eat Korean food. I really enjoy some Korean food, and I am always willing to try new things, but I would be pretty happy if someone put a triple-cream French cheese in front of me right now...or some asiago...or some old cheddar...or any kind of cheese, really.....
Mmmmm, cheese. |

| If youre out in the boonies somewhere & theres at least a handful of expats around, try this. Approach your supermarket manager with the proposal that you & your buddies will guarantee x amount of real cheese purchase per month if he brings it in. Looks like thats gonna work here -- our guy is bringing in an assortment this week from Seoul & we'll decide which we'd like regularly. Business for him & happy customers. Win-win. |

| I'm not in Seoul BUDDY...I'm four hours away from Seoul...and don't talk about chunks of rotten milk, what the hell do you think kimchi is, fresh vegetables?? |
woowee... sympathy. Seoul's great, and will be until the anthrax and sarin shells start raining in (i'm channeling Anda here). We got a deli in Itaewon that will deliver western food and wine all over seoul. Us in the kill box live like big, fat kings and queens of the mice.
And hey! I KNOW what kimchi is... i don't want this to turn into a Rotten Milk vs. Rotten Vegetables: which is grosser? wrestling match.
Anyway I reckon it is pretty funny seeing some korean who loves drinking industrial alchohol and scoffing poultry ring-pieces refuse to eat his piece of rotten milk just because it's got blue mold growing through it. WHOA! |

I must have been in the throes of a pregnancy craving when I wrote this.  You are so nice, HC. My husband won't eat cheese and so I can never justify buying the bulk sizes I've seen. You don't have to do that though. |

The packets of grated cheese available in most supermarkets make a fairly good sandwich and go well sprinkled on a bolognaise. Definitely superior to the average "kraft slice".
haven't been able to find any decent, genuine blocks of Gouda, cheddar or blue stilton though..... |

I agree. I like the pregrated bega stuff great for cooking and on top of spaghetti.
Carrefour and emart stock them.

Damn, I had that one last week. My Christmas came early when I bought my first cheese platter at the supermarket last month.
But I miss fresh kimchi.  |

NEWSFLASH!!!!NEWSFLASH!!!
Rapier walked past the dairy section of carrefour supermarket in Incheon yesterday. Arrayed before him was a variety of foreign cheeses, from Camembert and emmental to danish blue and brie.!! ignoring the cost, he snapped up a block of emmental for 6000w, and some "rudesheim" for 4500w. He ignored the several other varieties on offer, of which there was a fairly good selection.
End of news break. |

ah, cheese. the best cheese i've had was up at my grandparents farm. they bought it from the local general store. it was in a big wheel and a wedge wrapped in waxed brown paper cut. it broke in a crumbly way. the rind waxy and chewy, not sharp. medium.
a poster said recently that sharp cheddar can be bought in chunks from costco. beer and cheese. canadian molson beer can be bought at homeplus. |
Beer with cheese and crackers... mmmm.... *insert drool gargling sound here* |

The first place I got real cheese was that little wine and cheese store down the street for the Hyatt in Seoul.
Now you can buy cheese from Carrefour and Costco. They don't always carry what you might want. And sometimes it is expensive and has big packaging.
I put cheese in the freezer and it tastes fine once I thaw it out.
Having been to a place where they make cheese back home - I don't know if any country, save perhaps France, can compete with 50 types of cheese  |
