I want to make oyster stew and the recipe calls for half and half cream. Does anyone know if it's available in the supermarket? If so, where have you seen it?

Isn't half and half just half cream, half whole milk? I know they sell cream in Korea. They often refer to it as prima (brand name).

[Scamps]

Yeah, I think so but it would be easier to buy one instead of two.

Who uses half and half? Are you on a diet? Use heavy cream. fat=flavor.

No, I'm not on a diet but this is for a kind of soup (oyster stew) that I love but have never made before. Usually I buy Campbell's Oyster Stew but it's not available here... Anyway, if I used full cream wouldn't it be too think and gloppy? I do watch what I eat and the recipe also says to use a stick of butter...so not the healthiest thing but....I really want some!

Oh, that's good...I'm not ready for a heart attack.

Thanks for the idea... Now that I'm thinking about it, oyster stew sounds good, especially with all the oysters available.

I find Half and Half Cream at "I love Cookies" near jeongia Station. A store that has many western products and what nots.

Anyway, I am a great fan of cooking and trying new things so I just wanted to wish you luck

They have it at E-Mart. At least they have cream. If they only have heavy cream but no half-and-half, then just make your own half-and-half by mixing the cream with milk.

Here's an idea. Mix cream with milk. Crazy, I know.
