Not sure if this is in Korea, I don't see why it shouldn't be:

We start with a generous serving of our creamy mashed potatoes, layered with sweet corn and loaded with bite-sized pieces of crispy chicken. Then we drizzle it all with our signature home-style gravy and top it off with a shredded three-cheese blend. It's all your favorite flavors coming together. (Subject to availability)


Gawd. I refuse to eat anything with corn in it again. I'll eat corn on the cob. But that's it. And who the frak eats corn in their mashed potatoes? Don't we struggle to keep our corn and potatoes separate?

The Sheppards Pie in Seoul pub is the best.

Who the hell doesn't put corn in their mashed potatoes when eating the two together?

Where are you from, culinary heathen?

Anything less than REAL mashed potato is crap. Powdered mash potato is full of artificial starch and chemicals. Avoid!

Seems like another really good way to give fat kids more un-necessary excessive carbohydrates. If kids aren't burning off the carbos because they're sat on their fat ass then stop giving it to them. Watch them balloon otherwise!

As for corn, you may as well just tip the corn straight into the toilet bowl, because that's basically the same as eating it because there's nil digestion.

These have been around in America for a while (maybe about a year?). I haven't tried it myself, but my sister says they are really good.

Colonel Sanders is your friend. Wink

I like Popeys better though. Rice and beans. Gravy---not in ROK though--they are chicken only.

Totally agree with the stuff about powdered mash potato. The issue with corn is a bit more complicated. It seems that it is possible to digest most corn but it is necessary to chew it before eating. The outside wall (cellulose) is what prevents digestion of corn.

Hats off to this freak!

That KFC mashed potato bowl sounds heavenly. Is it fit for humans to eat or just dogs?

I just finished one of these bowls and it was great. Who needs an apple pie?

And who says I can't get laid?
