I'll be teaching in a small town (Changnyeong) and admit I'm hoplessly addicted to Zesty Cheese Doritos - are they availabe in Korea?... maybe in the big city (Daegu)?

Yeah, but they're called "Nachos" and they taste a little different than "western style" Doritos. Pack some!!!!

I too love cheesy doritos but havent seen any here. They have the "red" flavour at Hannam market.

That said the koreans make a mighty fine crisp, be it nacho or potato, so u'll undoubtedly find a replacement.

Speaking of that colour, I've seen cheesy Doritos at "the red door" imported foods store in Itaewon.

Directions: Go to the intersection at Burger King and take the road that goes downward, travel a couple of blocks and look for a red door frame on your left close to a crosswalk.

Enjoy! If they aren't gone. The store circulates it's (presumably) illegal imports depending on its supplier. And expect to pay a contraband price.

This reminds me of a Maddox essay where he claimed that guys who eat Doritos never get laid. He didn't make an addendum for Brad Pitt look-alikes, though (any white dude in Korea).

Anyway.. I've seen fake Doritos. They aren't very good. But what do you think of dried squid or meat sticks?

You used to be able to get them at any store like Emart, Homeplus, etc. but they disappeared about a year ago. Now you have to go to a specialty food store like mentioned above.
