I hope they don't discover British style pies, sausage rolls and pasties because it will be the end of me. Those things are tasty but will soon turn you into a lardy.

Just imagine how they will taste with the sausages replaced by hot dogs, and maybe some corn or sweet pickles. Of course the crust will have a sugar glaze.

Imagine what they would do to meat pies as well.

Messing around with the Great British Pie must surely be a declaration of war. There are some lines that should never be crossed.
Actually, I was eating some mandu yesterday and the taste reminded me of a cornish pasty.

Deviled eggs.

Simple classic I think few, if any, have tried to introduce to Korea and a large scale.

I introduced them to my K-girlfriend during a cookout I hosted (mostly for foreigners). She loved them and subsequently made them for her family. They all loved them.

I guess, eggs are popular, as is mayo, and they're salted... all flavors Koreans love.

I honestly think it will be a while before real spicy foreign food is accepted here. It challenges the Korean notion that Korean food is the spiciest food (or only spicy food) in the world.

Agree. I had coteachers..."ohhh, Brandon doesn't like spicy. no order spicy!". No beeches, I don't like MSGizzle. That sheet burns my tongue.
Please don't add it to my 된장 찌개.

You don't have to add pepper paste to everything either.

Some decent side dishes to go with the fried chicken like mashed potatoes, waffles, collard greens, and mac & cheese.


Do you think that would be popular though?

I believe fried chicken is just an excuse to drink beer. Korean men like fried chicken because it doesn't fill them up while they're drinking their beer. I suspect they'd have no interest in the side dishes you mentioned.

I, personally, have a MASSIVE interest in those side dishes. I just don't think Koreans will. Unfortunately.


This is makin' my mouth water! I think I'll go by Roscoe's later today.

ajosshi approves Very Happy
Which Roscoe's? The one in LA or Long Beach?


Hollywood


Bah. I'm from North Carolina...if only my mother could ship collard greens...

After ordering 'Pizza alla Chorizo' in a Korean-Italian restaurant last weekend the waiter came back 5 minutes later. Didn't attempt to speak to me of course, but asked my wife if I would be able to eat this pizza as it's very spicy!! (chorizo? very spicy??) My wife is well used to this as it's about the 30th time restaurant staff have asked her can I handle spicy food.

Anyway, the chorizo pizza eventually came and it was verging on mildly spicy. Like chorizo would be that spicy anyway.


It's 2011 but still Koreans persist with this insane idea that only they can eat spicy food!! How insular does your country have to be for that misconception to still be widespread??

Would a Korean in Europe or America be asked if they can eat rich oily food?

I tell them about Jamaican food or Indian food or TexMex with its spice blend and they only giggle. As if to say "It's okay, foolish foreigner, we understand you can't eat our world reknowned spicy cuisine."

They have a point: Korea has some of the spiciest food in the world that is entirely devoid of depth of flavor.
