Strange how, at a remove of two years, a person can come to miss certain aspects to waeguk life in Hangukistan. What I wouldn't do for a decent, affordable kimchi jjigae, or even a bottle of Cham ...

well, you'll feel better tomorrow.

Yeah, I have adapted all of my cooking to include Korean stuff- doenjang, gochujang, many kids of tubu, gimchi (of course), kim, and a long list of things that will be difficult to find if I end up in my country of choice, Mexico.

Of course, I really miss real Mexican Mexican food- not the Americanized and then Koreanized stuff (at least two itterations away from the real thing).

I think food is one of the most significant and specific things about a culture, and the most nostalgic when you are away from it.

Right now I would give a lot for some real conch fritters, arroz con pollo or moros y cristianos from my home city of Miami.

Interesting to think that someday I will be yearning for doenjang jjigae.

Yes, Mr. Cat, but when you get back to Korea you will soon be missing all the things from back home. The grass always appear greener but it's all a mirage. Enjoy like back in Miguk and move forward.
