Was wondering if anyone came across this....i was also looking for cottage cheese but I haven't found that either.

Costco has turkey burgers. Defrost and then break apart.

Red Door has had cottage cheese, but 2 weeks ago it was 10 days expired. Good at other times.

I second the OP. I was wanting the high protein turkey and the cottage cheese for a special weekend lasagna. There just aren't many of these sorts of things in this country. Despite this country being wealthy and more developed than others, not much variety and supply of foreign things make it since Koreans mostly demand Korean products. Foreign things don't tend to sell well even though they like western things, because it's just out of line or improper to be selfish enough to buy imports and not support your fellow countrymen. It's a collective mentality in the culture resulting from Confucianism even though Confucianism is no longer practiced here. Instead, they prefer to inaccurately reincarnate Western things in Korea rather than importing which usually ends being gross.

I'll have to wait until next year to do many things I've been yearning for.

Thanks, I'll try Red Door....I was hoping Hannam would have it, but I guess their extensive refrigerated section is lacking.

"Yebbeun Jib" (Beautiful House) has cottage cheese. It's a black market shop halfway up the hill going to the Grand Hyatt at Noksapyeong station:

Exit the station (can't remember which exit number, but the US base wall is on your left and a Lexus dealership is across the street) and walk toward the underground tunnel. Turn left at the end of the tunnel and come out- a kebab restaurant called "Istanbul" is on your right. Walk straight a few steps and you'll see a coffee shop called "Lazy Sue's" and a military complex with two Korean guys holding sub-machine guns.

Walk up that hill, which is called "JungAngKyeongRiDan" and the black market shop is on your right. If you get to a gym called "Samwon Nautilus Fitness", you've gone too far.

Wow, thanks a million...I'm definitely visiting that place this weekend. You're a lifesaver.
