| None of those sound all that revolting to me. I don't like corn or potato on pizza but I can eat it. There are a lot worse examples out there. Like I've heard of cool whip being used instead of sour cream on tacos here and that sounds disgusting to me. One time I ate a croissant with imitation crab meat in it. That was pretty bad. |

Agreed, "toastuh" is truly awful. The lady who makes them across the street from my work slathers them with ketchup, mustard, and sugar. I tried to order one without the sugar and she threw up her hands and told me she had already premade so many with sugar that she couldn't be bothered to make another one without.
Also, fruit salad with mayonnaise in place of whipping cream, and anything (e.g. pizza, sandwiches, lattes, cake) that has pumpkin or sweet potato added to it.
Where did Koreans get the idea that all western food is supposed to taste sweet? |

Apparently you've never heard of "헝어" or heong-eo...which is fermented skate. It smells like someone with really rank urine micturated on a raging yeast infection cultivated on rankest fillet of fish ever conceived.
There's also "정국" twengjang which smells like some has decided to make a stew out of two weeks worth of chamber pot contents. Some say it smells like "dead bodies"...I'm guessing it's because calling it "crap soup" would be somehow less appealing. |

One time, my hagwon boss bought sandwiches for a lunch. It had pickles, ketchup, mayo and fish inside. Just awful.
Sweet potato latte comes to mind as something where sweet potato need not be. |

After eating stuff like 헝어 I have just accepted that not all food taste good. So one time I got a sandwich where the ham had definitely gone waaay past its expiry date. The taste was very strong and unpleasant, but since I thought it was something similar to 헝어 I just kept on eating. Then one of my friend had a taste of her sandwich and spat it out right away and told me it was spoilt... Fortunately I didn't get food poisoning, but it wasn't a pleasant experience. |

The guy was talking about "western" Korean foods. But if you're talking about indigenous Korean dishes, 아구찜 is the worst. It's basically a type of angler fish (hideous looking creature) that they cut it up without bothering to skin it, gut it, or cut off the bones and fin. Then they mix it with some bean sprouts and gochu jang. Sounds terrible? It is. You're pretty much eating pieces of fish bone and skin. Of course some people claim it's good for "stamina." |

It's a waste of a good monkfish. I'll say that. |

Ugh, sweet pickles and honey mustard on everything. My company cafeteria has a "Sand&Food" which sells sandwiches with rice flour bread, sweet pickles, honey mustard, mayo, and way too much lettuce. Your choices of meat/filling are: bulgogi, spicy chicken, fake crab meat, fake shrimp meat, mashed sweet potato, or mashed pumpkin. Ick ick ick. |

The spaghetti at school that has some sort of metalic taste to it.
Potatoes with sugar on top.
The sausages...taste more like meat-flavoured flour. |

| Koreans fook up any western food. Period. Adding the local mix into the food to satisify the local taste buds is understandable...but koreans screw even that up. |
