 |
|
| At Express Bus Terminal in Seoul, in Shinsegae, in the wine and cheese section, a new brand of cheese is being stocked that uses "vegetable rennet" rather than rennet or pepsin to age the cheese. It's a British brand called "Singletons," and is labelled "suitable for vegetarians." Hooray! I hope it sticks around. I bought the "mature cheddar" and "double Glouchester" and both are lovely. The cost is 8,000 won for 200 grams. |

All the bricks of Tillamook cheese are made without animal rennett. Costco imports them and supplies retailers like the Foreign Food Market in Itaewon ... (Costco's Kirkland brand isn't good for vegetarians though - as far as I can tell - it was listed as "bad" on one vegetarian website...)
It's too dang easy for me to make pita bread pizzas - and ridiculously easy to put some cheese on rice cakes (not what Koreans call "rice cakes"...) and stick them in my microwave oven for about fifteen seconds - topped with alfalfa sprouts drenched in Louisiana Hot Sauce... |

Does anyone know where to get vegetable rennet in Korea? Even the tablets are fine so I can make mozzarella. Importing the stuff is pretty expensive but if that's what I gotta do.... and I'll just assume that water buffalo milk is not too likely...
Thanks. |

| You vegetarians eating cheese, have you no shame? Why do you have to try to act like us? With your fake cheeses and your dodgy vegetable burgers and your soy milk. You're like these asians getting the double eyelid surgery. Just be proud of what you are! A bunch of carrot nibblers! |

The best mozzarella is made with vegetable rennet (not the animal enzymes). I'll eat the other stuff if I'm really hard up, but the real stuff fresh is above and beyond.
I'm not vegetarian anymore (I was for eight years)....but in general the diet has it positive aspects. |

| Speaking of soy products....anyone ever see Boca products in Korea? I know...it's off topic and unlikely, but hey, worth a shot. |
