Put the korean word for oats into Gmarket

There you go.

Lots of oatmeal to be found.

Not exactly rocket science is it?


OK, I translated "oats" using google translate:

http://translate.google.com/translate_t#

I put the first option for noun 귀리, 연맥 into gmarket.

This is the only thing I got:

http://global.gmarket.co.kr/challenge/neo_goods/goods.asp?goodscode=129139714&pos_shop_cd=SH&pos_class_cd=111111111&pos_class_kind=T

Whole oats! Very cool! If I chop them a bit in a blender, could I make steel cut oats? And I could grow it for oat grass! But is it safe to eat rabbit oats?

I then translated the page, hoping for a clue:

Hmmm, "in the milk in the moring..." does that mean oatmeal?

Anyone know whether they are suggesting having it for breakfast?

One of the great mysteries is why regular rolled oats are so insanely expensive in Korea. Then I realized that container ships charge based on volume. So if Koreans had the good sense to import steel cut oats (Irish oats), the oatmeal could be a whole lot cheaper, not to mention tastier.

This:

looks like a good deal (if I could eat so much oatmeal without the bugs contaminating it) but how much is the shipping? There's got to be a catch. Isn't this stuff shipped from the U.S.?

That website is ridiculous. What a waste of money. I'd rather flush it down the toilet.


Do as you please.

Do as you please. I'd rather flush my head down the toilet than waste half a day going to Costco for a box of oatmeal once a month.

Now I've seen everything!

Oatmeal.

A simple thread about oatmeal.

And some twits turn it into a pissing match.

It's just oatmeal.

OP,

Here's a 500g bag of oatmeal (plain oats) for 3,500W.

http://www.gmarket.co.kr/challenge/neo_goods/goods.asp?goodscode=153716174&pos_shop_cd=SH&pos_class_cd=111111111&pos_class_kind=T&keyword_order=%B1%CD%B8%AE&search_keyword=%B1%CD%B8%AE

You'll have to either get your own credit card or have a Korean friend order it for you.

Enjoy.
