I meant wild mushrooms that cost about ten bucks a pound back home, but here are about two bucks a pound...oysters and enoki specifically. And good tuna sashimi that'd cost 80 bucks a feed, back home, and here costs twenty. That shytte's gold in vancouver, but here, it's just so much budae chigae, and basically costs you nothing.
Those wierd oysters your dad in law picks--morels, I bet. Look like brains on stems, yeah?
Love to tuck into a good filet or some collards, though, I hear ya on that qinella...and I remember paying ten bucks for red beans and rice in Itaewon a couple of times, before the nigerian joint went under, and thinking 'damn! this should be really cheap, but it isn't, and I don't care!'
and no, I'm not American, you're right. did play one on tv though. |

God-damn, korea's a sweet place, once you find the stuff you like. |
You haven't had any of those rare 150 000 won wild mushrooms, apparently. My father-in-law picks them on his land. Finds about 3 or 4 per year. |
Only $150 for these? Nice.. (pspm.)

There's also the Flammulina velutipes, those long thin white mushrooms.
Don't know if they were morels, but the wild mushrooms I was talking about were stinkhorns. It may have been some Phallus indusiatus, but I really wouldn't know. |
