Hey B.A. - I saw a show last week and thought about you.:-) It was on
the food in S.Korea. All I can say is "Oh my." Some of it, well,
actually most of it - I just shook my head and pictured you really
tying into a bowl of many of the delectables over there.;-)

I learned that the S.Korean's love fermented food so too speak. Bean
paste? I saw how they made it, actually just letting it ruin? That is
a staple over there huh? There were some foods though, that looked
pretty good. It would be hard to put on weight over there, not many
overweight S.Koreans, I do like how they implement soups in all their
meals though. Do the North eat the same things as the South? I figured
you would be the one to know.:-)

Actually, there are LOTS of fat S. Koreans. The show you watched was on
"traditional" Korean food. There is still a lot of that eaten, but the diet
has been largely westernized, with a lot more meat proteins, etc. Also, they
eat a lot more things like pizza and burgers. Even in my small town, there
are over a dozen fast food outlets, including at least three pizzerias, four
burger joints, several chicken places and a Mexican food restaurant with a
limited menu. All this in a town of around 10,000 (I think that includes the
base, which has it's own fast food joints (Charley's Steakery, Burger King,
Pizza Hut, Anthony's Pizza, Subway, Popeye's, Taco Bell, etc.)

We personally don't eat much Korean food. Some we do like, though. Such as
Yaki Mandu (Korean spring rolls), Dong Kas (a veal patty with a special
breading) and Chop Choe (sort of like lo mein). There's also pachingi, which
is like a cross between an omelet and a pizza, with potatos, eggs, onions,
peppers, etc. I prefer the ones without the seafood... most are made with
calamari.. ugh..

Not to get anal, but what happened to the stuff preceding your
quotes? Other than the change to intelligent, well thought out sentence
structure, it's hard to tell where your reply begins.

I expect that there is only one fat north korean. The rest are starving.

Long Dong IL



Il is his second surname. In western naming convention it would be Dong-Il
Kim (more like the hyphenated), similar to the way the Spanish do their
surnames.

My bad. It's the second half of his GIVEN name. It's not really like a
middle name the way we think of it.

Ha! Had a nice Vietnamese fellow at work, and actually he was ethnic Chinese.

His first name was Hui, pronounced Wee.

I always called him Long Dong Wee.

We always had some good laughs, though he ragged on me for not picking up all
the folks on rafts.

He finally, I think, figured out that I was not in charge.

I'm still not in charge today!

Well good for you, after watching that show I thought " Poor Brenda
Ann." ;-) The one part that I did think was pretty cool was all the
food vendors cooking their wares on the street. On the show I didn't
see one western fast food place, the cameras simply didn't show it.
Good to know you didn't have to entirely give up the western food.:-)
Have you ever tried that bean paste stuff? If I visited another
country I would definitely try about everything just to see what it's
like.
