Maybe.
I don't have anything against them, it just works out that way. |

Someone should create a poll asking about all the grease-encrusted fried chicken and ass-fattening pizzas you people eat.
You all disgust me.

None of the poll options are applicable to me. Generally I avoid the stuff like the plague because I'm paranoid of unhealthy food. It's an irrational paranoia because I'm an on-and-off smoker and a regular drinker and have perfected the art of poisoning my body and mind with all manner of dreadful sh1te (at least in the past), but woe betide me getting a Whopper down my throat!
Very occasionally, like yesterday, like 5 or 6 times per year, I'll get a craving for Bic Mac and fries or Burger King. But I'm not a fan of junk food. |

| I miss the "Gardenburgers" that I used to get at Hannam Supermarket (supplied by Costco - I guess that "paperbagpricess" thread way back when didn't generate enough pressure on them to carry 'em again...) I used to eat about ten of those a week (didn't taste that great, but they were full of bulger wheat...) Actually, my very carnivorous aunt manages to make excellent veggy burgers for me - and even a gourmet veggy meat loaf (using some middle-eastern stuff) whenever I visit her in Long Island... |

There is nothing wrong with a 'good burger'. One of the biggest problems in my life at the moment is making decent food.
Most Korean restaurants suck and generally the only other option is horrible fast food or overpriced western food. The best burger I've had in Korea was made by myself. If you use quality ingredients there is nothing wrong with a hamburger. Eat at rotten ronnies and you'll be eating lips and arseholes though.
I've had loads of fad veggie friends. They're all pretty much back on eating animals now. Being a veggie in the west is bad enough, being a veggie in Korea must be very depressing indeed. It's all about balance in a diet and eating well is not just feeding, taste to me is more important than health. Most veggie food tastes boring.
On the menu tonight is a delicious pasta dish with nice good quality Aussie lean beef in a tomato herb sauce. Yum |

Do you mean they suck at making Western food? if so I agree.
If you mean Korean restaurants suck in general then you are wrong. |

In defence of Korea, their Western food does suck, but the West totally screws up foreign food all the time too. I will admit we "seem" to be better at it, but considering we are quite multicultural, it shouldn't be that hard to see.
North American Chinese food isn't even close to real Chinese food. Atleast in Canada, chow mien is beansprouts and other stuff. Chow mien means fried noodle. There isn't any noodle to it.
Also, ask an Italian what they think of pizza, or a Frenchmen about anything we make (including wine). Lot's of examples 
Also, I happen to like Korean restaurants  |

While you might have a point about chow mien, I've had plenty of Chinese food in China and Hong Kong that's pretty much the same as Chinese food back home (the all-you-can-eat buffets aside).

As pizza isn't indigenous to Italy and isn't indigenous to France, that's not relevant. |

Ok, our pizza in North America is nothing like "wherever it was invented" and I am sure that wine is atleast somewhat different than "wherever it was invented". Nitpicking aside, my argument still holds, I was just wrong about the origins.
Spaghetti is also totally wrong. The list could go on for awhile...
