LOL He was smart. Cool

Anyway, succulent, to me, describes moist, tender and delicious.
I've no problem fitting kimchi under that designation.

This may well be the best commercially packaged food product in the world or Korea. The sad thing is though you can not buy it in larger cheaper per gram packages... However it is fried so I am pondering if it is not quite as healthy as normal Kim Chi- anyone know?

Delete your post and cdninkorea will be the new OP. That should really confuse people.

'Glass noodles' sounds like something that you'd get served in prison. The best food in Korea? Tough one. After 6 years here I am sick of pork and barbeque, the seafood is too disgusting to contemplate, the overuse of gochujang has bored me to tears. These days, the only Korean food I actually look forward to eating are of the chicken variety. Jjimdakk, Takdoritang, samgyetang etc. The fried chicken here is quite good too, but I want to keep my arteries in working order for the time being.
I still like kimchi jiggae, but I couldn't eat it everyday.


I am on my third year, and I feel the same. I barely eat any Korean food, other than the school lunches. Those are generally more than enough for me. Anyone else barely able to choke down plain white rice now?

Plain white rice just takes up room that could be better filled with stuff that actually has flavour.

I feel the exact same way, except I can't eat cancer causing meat.
I'm quite inventive at home, though.

Okay, it's official. From now on, they will be known as clear noodles. Let's make sure the world knows.

I've actually known them as glass noodles my whole life. Every place I've eaten in the states called them glass noodles on the menu.

Let's go vogue and call them the noodles formerly known as sand noodles.

Yeah, I know, terrible, terrible joke.

Mamas cafe is simply one of the best places for Panini or a sandwich! Very good quality and service was decent!

hmm. hopefully you never have to fly in an airplane, get an xray or catscan, use a smoke detector, or even eat one of those horrible cancer-causing bananas (such filthy things!) if you are worried about cancer causing meat.

if you need it, i have a tin-foil hat i can sell you, but it'll come at quite the price because it's a special anti-cancer hat used to knock out the bad cancer-causing wavelengths of meat. it also has an accompanying magnet bracelet to regulate your chi.
