| I don't know if you drive your big truck up to Costco waving your membership card, looking for cases of Caesar salad dressing but it's there! 2 litre plastic Coke bottle size full of it for 8,000 won or something like that. |

It is a discusting brand though, and nothing like what you remember from back home. If memory servers me correctly it is from China. |

| Carrefour carries a "passable" bottled Caesar salad dressing - made in Canada. Sometimes they carry ranch. |

| No bottled dressing approximates the real zing of a good caesar dressing! |

No, it's not Chinese, it's McCormicks from the US. I have a bottle and checked the label against their web site. I think it's just fine but I agree that home made is best. |

| I'm going to make the dressing myself (the stuff at Costco is just the generic cream stuff), so the thing I'm trying to find is the romaine and anchovies. |

I got some nice crisp baby romaine at Carrefour and the anchovies should not be a problem to find. Mmmmm, sounds delicious. |

Lets see if I can remember:
Romaine Lettuce
croutons
anchovies
raw egg yolk
olive oil
lemon juice
freshly grated parmesan cheese (regiano is preferable)
salt and freshly cracked pepper
Am I missing anything?
All of this is available, I believe, at Carrefour. Maybe I'll go this weekend.  )
IMHO_ Chicken, mustard and other such blaspemy does not belong in a Ceasar salad. And screw the cooked egg yolks. Sounds like a good weekend lunch to me. |

Even though anchovies technically are not part of an original Caesar salad, I love them.
You can get canned anchovies at Chinese grocery stores. I bought a can in Bongcheon, west of Sadang on the #2 Green Line. Romaine is harder to find but there are other lettuces that can be substituted.
The Caesar salad was invented by a chef who was improvising with what he had on hand at a hotel in Mexico. In that same spirit, improvise with what you have on hand. |

uh..sorry to resurrect an old thread but I thought it was better than making a new one
Where can I find some romaine lettuce? I cannot stand iceberg and the only other kind I've seen is the stuff you wrap samgyubsal in.
I'm near Sadang station but I am definitely willing to travel for some nice fresh Romaine...
if you post stores, can you please post locations with them as well? Thanks! |
