As a side note: I should be moving to Seoul and dont mind bringing the odd thing like a Cadbury's chocolate bar or something if theres any posters in desperate need of a fix!

i live near a few urban areas so I've been able to find a surprising amount of stuff from the west.

Personally the only thing that I miss that I cant find here in Korea is Wendy's.

I would kill for a frosty or a double stack right now.

I've from the UK but i've been to America once, i have to say its no wonder obesity rates are high, your fast food is amazing in comparison to ours. We dont have the delight of Wendy's or, my favourite, In-n-out burger!

Crispy fried chill beef from my local Chinese takeaway.

Or a Coronation Chicken baguette. Sorry I couldn't help being greedy.

A good Indian Meal (Vindaloo, Chicken Tandoori, Nan bread with shrimp & curry, yellow saffron rice), washed down with a glass or 2 of Australian white wine.

Anything with cheese.

Better Cheddars and Cheetos specifically. They have Cheetos here, but all i've been able to find are steak and red pepper flavored.

Not usually a big junk-food eater, but I need some good cheese!

Sounds boss. I'd go an oversized steak and mushroom pie. Or three.

you can get American style Cheetos at Namdaemun Market in the underground import food area. they usually run about 4,500 - 5,500 won a bag. you can also get different styles of cheese there if you don't want to make the trip to costco.

i wish they sold brown rice pasta or japanese style rice crackers. i really miss these foods...they used to have the rice crackers at WalMart, but when they sold the stores they stopped carrying them. never seen the brown rice pasta, though!

An authentic breakfast in a diner served in the middle of the night and washed down with unlimited refills of crappy black coffee.
