What? No way. Click and read, "foreigner information." It's not native English writing. It appears to be a Korean business with the English theme to it. That white man is not here doing that. It's just a novelty theme for a meat biz. At least Koreans are opening up a bit to try foreign ideas. |

It's just a novelty theme for a unique styled meat biz. Doing something different is a very bold and brave thing to do. Thumbs up to them.
Like how the the Aussie steak mince pies look as they're similar to home made pot pies. Worth checking out. Thanks for sharing OP. |

You can buy the sausages from the Shinsagae department store in Myeungdong. Not that nice really. The sausages from the Austrian deli in Itaewon are a hundred times better, especially the spicy chorizo ones and the actual 'bangers'. mmmm bangers and mash tomorrow I think. |

As an Englishman moving to Korea in February, the knowledge that I am able to get my hands on both bacon and proper pies is something of a comfort.
Yes, I love foreign food. Yes, I have tried Korean food and am looking forward to eating it every day for a year at least.
And yes, the thought of a real bacon sandwich on a cold morning when I am craving a taste of home fills me with glee.
Nom nom nom. |

Getting bacon isn't hard.
I haven't tried to get meat pies or whatever the hell they are here, but I imagine you can get them at a bunch of places. Hence the 'big deal'.
Meat pies are good smothered in ketchup. |

Some of you people out there are really f@#cking stupid. I drank beer
with Gavin on Friday night and he gave me his business card. Gavin has
been here since about 1984. He opened this business and now sells to all
the major hotels, embassies and foreign owned business cafeterias.
Maybe you should look at the pics before you open your ignorant yaps.
