You can get Nutella in Korea everywhere!

Oh how will I live without Reese's Sad Hopefully Costco will have it. I spent a year just fine without them last year but they are a new addiction of mine and I never started appreciating them until recently.

Food from home, I can do without.

DOWNY WRINKLE RELEASER, however, is a different story.

I have a bunch of ceasar dressing packets. They're vegetarian (no anchovies) but pretty good. I ordered way too many. They're these:

http://www.iherb.com/Simply-Organic-Classic-Caesar-Dressing-Mix-12-Packets-1-25-oz-35-g-Each/31484?at=1

I ordered them when it was only possible to order 24 packets at a time for about $30, so I have a ton. If anyone wants some, let me know, as I won't be going through all of them in the near future. Will trade for wine.

I can't guarantee my culinary preferences match yours, but

my mom will be coming to visit in a few months, I'll be asking for two big buckets of yogurt.

I am 99% positive that there is nowhere to purchase yoghurt in Korea.

With that said, I think the beef jerky is out due to the beef import restrictions.

Personally, I'd ask for a bunch of the flavor packets from ramen noodle packs.


Embarassed

ok joke's on me -

and I'd suggest

canned pumpkin
blueberries
pecans

Using Denmark unsweetened plain yogurt as a starter, you can make your own in your rice cooker. Just search here. I've posted it a few times. You can also pick some up at the foreign food market.

This is around in Korea. It's at the Foreign Food Market in Itaewon sometimes (big can for ~20,000KRW); at E-Mart (there are a few imported brands that are a decent price -- you can check out the websites on the labels and read/email and ask if they are unpasteurized.

Boxed Mac n Cheese. Last time I searched for Mac n Cheese, the only place I could find it (and I checked several foreign food shops in Itaewon) was at Dandy's Market by Hangangjin Station for something like 4,500 won per box! Shocked

Cooking spices you miss from home. Lemon pepper, Knorr packs of seasoning for pasta, etc. I'm not too picky but brought a few of those with me before. Salt, pepper, chilli powder, you can get here.
