| Anyone know where I can buy quorn in Seoul? Or if it has a different name in Korean. Cheers. Oh and don't judge me, I'm normal. |

| It would be prohibitively expensive if you found it. Koreans tend not to eat fake food. Have you considered having it imported? |

| I had considered importing it, but thought of it as a last resort, even so I probably wouldn't bother on account of the expense. |

I hope you'll consider trying new foods while in Korea. I once was one of those vegetarians in a past life; I now try to eat as many different things as I can as I experience the world. Anthony Bourdain explains this well here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i-P2g7smQME
I'd be surprised if you found your fake meat here. So, rather than eating imitations of the very things you reject consuming how about expanding your culinary abilities and experiences. |

Perhaps the OP is vegetarian because of ethical reasons. Why not be helpful rather than pedantic? |

| All foods that have that many preservatives are fake foods. Spam was just a quick example. Blech! |

Oil and salt are preservatives. As is the drying process.
By the way, any luck with the muesli? |

If you buy into Bourdain's philosophy on vegetarianism the ethical reasons are null and void. |

I'll clarify: artificial preservatives. I use pineapple juice as a preservative for my apple crisps, but no nasty manmade chemicals.
It came out really nicely, but at the moment Homeplus is selling Tesco's unsweetened muesli, so I stocked up. I made some yogurt this week for the first time and it makes for a nice parfait. |

If you grow your own or buy locally, they aren't.  |

Ahhhh I did ask not to be judged  I'm not a veggie, I've lived in Korea for 2 years. Only problem is I binge on assorted galbi and keep the local pizza school in business, consequently I pack on the pounds, I've gone home for 3 months and lost around 7 kilos eating quorn based meals (my dad is a veggie, though not through moral choice, I honestly believe his motive is just to annoy people!) so I was hoping I could get hold of some quorn in Korea, to cook the recipes I've been learning and to keep the weightloss going without having to resort to exersize. I've looked before in Seoul for quorn but not too hard.
Anyway thanks for the replies though, it seems it doesn't really exist in Korea. But should someone know please tell!!! |
