 |
|
UK citizens unite.
I'm tired of hamburgers and tacos. I've had enough of powdered sugar doughnuts. It's time for real food to come to Korea.
I long for a steakbake and a pineapple cake. A sausage roll and a yumyum with a cup of tea.
And I want to be served by a fat woman with a pleasant disposition.
It's time for Greggs to come to Korea.
Who's with me?
*tumbleweed rolls past*
*beep* you lot then! |

Last summer, I went home for vacation and I still remember sitting in Edinburgh's Princes Street Gardens tucking in to a Steakbake and 2 iced doughnuts.
Going home again this winter and a trip to Greggs is on the list. A pack of yumyums would go down nicely.
I just don't want a Greggs for Korea but what about a local chippie? Indian/Chinese takeaway? |

If the UK had real food, it would be in Korea by now. Hell even Canada has you guys beat with poutine at burger king. Good luck getting Mcdonalds to sell Mcshepards pie  |

No but a year or two ago they were serving poutine. Most random sighting ever. |

Ah good old Greggs. I'd pretty much kill for a vanilla or custard slice.
That said, I'd much rather a proper chippy opened up. A gravy mix and a battered sausage would go down a treat right about now. Or an unhygenic but ultimately delicious large donner kebab served on naan bread with mint yoghurt and salad. None of these *beep* little kebabs you get in Itaewon, oh no. I'm talking about a 3000 calorie midlands style monstrosity.
Damn it OP, I'm starting to get homesick. |

Fake poutine to be exact. |

And Korean food is too spicy for a gyopo like myself. |

| How about some genuine fish and chips? That would work. |

What kind of Gregg's slices would be invented for the Korean market? Spam and kimchi slice? Sweetcorn and cheese slice? Sugary pizza?
There was some Aussie pie shop that opened in Bundang 3 months after I left
which is typical.
The tastiest pie I have ever had were actually Kiwi - bacon and egg and steak and cheese - never understood why they never took off in the UK. |

My grandma came to America from England, as did my father, in 1955. I'm going by what they told me. |

Of course, I can't be sure, but I would guess there have been some advancements in British cuisine since the 1950s. |

Fine example of that famous American awareness of foreign culture. On second thoughts, I apologise for using weary cultural stereotypes. |
