Cool Ranch Doritos. I just thought there would be some people out there who might be interested to know.

I saw a small bag of them at a local shoopa a few weeks back.

I wanted them to be saltier. I wasn't impressed.

Taco Hell is not bad I think for its price. The problem is, I have to eat 2 sets or I'm still hungry.

I am not a huge eater normally btw.

I would kill for Wendy's right now. (At least Wendy's several years ago, anyhow.) Thankfully, there are some decent burger joints around nowadays, even if a bit expensive.

I just want roasted red peppers in a jar. I've only ever seen the huge, restaurant-sized can in Itaewon.

I ate some White Castle in Michigan and Indiana. Those damn things are tasty and cheap, but rot your gut. They were 39 cents per burger. No wonder they were so cheap. Lol. (But that was over 10 years ago.) I think the locals told me that place is called the "gut buster."

Actually, tried the ranch Doritos. They're not bad for Korean style actually. (Not as good as the blue bag kind back in Canada or the Jalapeno kind or cheese kind, but what can you do?)


PS Ate Wendys back home a year ago and it wasn't as good as before I came to Korea. Guess when Dave croaked, they started to lower the quality or something.

Beer is really cheap right now at Emart. Cans of Guiness for 2000 won for small bottle or can, 2500 for a tall can. Saw Moosehead there on sale for 1300 won a tall can.

I think the craft beer companies have taken enough market share from the big breweries and now the war is on. Happy days ahead! Very Happy

Moosehead for 1300? I find that hard to believe that it is genuine. If it is brewed by OB or whatever by licence, no thanks. Korea wrecked Budweiser.
