Sorry, G, but I DO have to ask why there is no tomato or mayo on your otherwise delightful-sounding sandwich.

It does sound deliciously unhealthful (as the best foods are), if a bit messy to eat (as also, the best foods tend to be), but I would do something about some adornments for that sandwich. Perhaps a bit of colour injected, other than brown and white. I would also change the bread. Something a bit wheatier perhaps.

Guru I laughed my ass off when I got to the picture where it showed what the sandwich was gonna be. It looks like the bacon is assailing the bread, and one slice is running for its life! Laughing Laughing

Man that is so nasty. I hope those weren't cameras from an event you enacted. Shocked

Yeah I had a language exchange yesterday and was talking to this girl about her trip to America. To test my theory that 100% of Koreans will say "American food is too greasy" when asked about the food, I asked her about the food. Her response was that American food is too greasy.

So I asked her specifically what she ate. You know, I was curious. She was there for three weeks. Here's what she ate: hamburgers, hot dogs, and Korean food. That's it! But mostly Korean food.

Laughing

Man I was laughing so hard, I hope it didn't upset her. Let's go to America, eat nothing but hamburgers, and then go around saying that American food is too greasy.

Tangentially, I've still never been able to get a good response when I ask Koreans why they think American food is greasy. I grew up eating food like baked chicken with steamed/boiled vegetables and some bread. There's nothing greasy about that. I just don't get it. Don't any of the American visitors ever have like, you know, a normal American meal? Maybe some Cracker Barrel or Boston Market? Nope. Just hamburgers and hot dogs, I guess.

Q.


Laughing to a kid in class about her answer makes me think about how
well you are matured .
I saw many Americans /Canadians complaining about food all the
time here in Korea and everywhere i travel when meeting them .
Even in Istanbul - where you can have good kebabs they would still look for MC Donalds as soon as they arrive !!!!
Nobody is perfect - if that was the students experience then just let go .I would not laugh .

Uh...

Before you start making personal attacks, you should brush up on your reading skills there slick. I'll give you a hint: I don't exchange languages in my classes.

What does that have to do at all with the OP? You think I don't know westerners complain about Korean food? You're not the brightest bulb in the chandelier, are you?

And I would not put spaces before periods rather than after them. I guess we all have our quirks.

American food is just as healthy or unhealthy as anywhere. The problems are in the portion sizes. They have increased far too much in the last couple of decades. That and and too much consumption of sodas. Some Korean foods can be just as greasy.


Sure , that is true . Just eat the right amount what your body needs
and not what your eyes want , i know its hard but if you want to look perfect and healthy .That is the only way Very Happy Wink

That post didn't really make any sense at all. Is English your first language? I'm not trying to be insulting--just genuinely curious.

Nowhere in the post, though, did I see anything along the lines of, "Oh, sorry Qinella, I made a mistake by thinking you laughed at your students and the insinuating that you're immature." Therefore, whatever it is you were trying to say in that garbled mishmash of bizarre punctuation, is probably worthless anyway.
