Yes to all because: putting dirty oil into a cup is a lot easier than sending a man to the moon and we would know about it if Korea did have a space program, Boston is not a city in Korea, there are no food stamps in Korea. Are you saying that Koreans would not go to great lengths, even unscrupulous lengths, to make a buck? |
Why did you even bother to respond?  Are you desperate or something? Any reason to believe that this is not happening in Korea?
This is meant in a good way: Stop Talking.  |

| This doesn't change my eating habits one bit. I don't eat street food here, there, or pretty much anywhere. I also don't eat at greasy spoon, hole-in-the walls. My wife is very particular about food and has influenced me to be more so. |

Starving? Extremely overweight is more like it. I guess those people will have to swallow their pride and ask private charities (like churches) for food now. (And that's the way it should be.) Korea (a much poorer and less developed country than the United States) doesn't even have food stamps, so yes they are denying food stamps to "starving" people as well. |

Simply put, you are putting sense into (deliberate) nonsense. OK?
However, don't feel bad. Many, many Democrats and Independents (née Republicans) are still trying to make sense into T-Party-speak, when there aren't any, purposefully. |

Maybe because the availability is you have to go a little further to do that sort of thing. I don't think Korea is dysfunctional enough for that to be overlooked by the public. |
I have actually seen the kimchi being reused at a couple of restaurants. Not many, mind you, but the few times it happened I stopped eating right then and there. |

Did you say anything? I would have caused a gigantic scene. |

| Love how every thread has a korea spin on it. I bet those sneaky Koreans are doing it also! Paranoid much? |
No just pathologically racist much.
This practice looks horrifying, no plans to visit China but I'll definitely be vigilant if I do! |

If you've seen it happen a few times, it's definitely happened way more times out of your site. Optik, it is going on on a wide scale, but remember, the healthiness of kimchi kills the germs, so you have nothing to worry about.
A sign a restaurant is not reusing the kimchi: they cut the long leaves in front of you with scissors (as a way to show you it is not reused).
Long leafed kimchi: you are the first person to eat it
Chopped into tiny pieces: maybe not |

The few times I've seen it were at gob-chang (intestines) restaurants and hae jang guk places. Never went to any of them twice but, oddly enough restaurants featuring those two dishes seemed to do it the most. |
