1) Ginseng candy tastes like bengay.
2) If you order a sundae from baskin robins it will have tomato slices in it.
3) Sometimes if your korean friends order something for you without meat in it the little korean ladies will argue with them that it has to have meat because it tastes better that way. They will not get the point.
4) You can absolutely drink in public.
5) Koreans dont like peanut butter. they are missing out.

on a side note the stairs are still a death trap and seaweed is delicious.

Maybe I've been in Korea too long - but when I noticed that I found it totally normal. I'm glad I introduced you to another slightly odd facet of Korean dining tho.

1)Doesn't sound like it's worth eating then :O
2)That is rather odd. Never expected to hear such a thing in my life..
3)lol I guess they don't have vegetarians in Korea
4)This I agree with completely
5)I'm not a huge fan of peanut butter myself but I don't mind it.

Also fOrGG proved your point about the stairs

Peanut butter is made of peanuts. If you happen to buy some shitty stuff that has added sugar then thats your problem. Learn to eat healthy. Real peanut butter is very healthy for you.

No comment on the other points.

But for #4, just so you guys know, you can drink in public in Hong Kong, Taiwan, China, Macau, Japan etc.

So yeah... the west sucks!

Peanut butter has like 650 calories per 100 g. Not many things are higher except for stuff like butter, olive/palm tree/sunflower/vegetable oil, lard, etc.

Pasta/rice is like only 350. And calories make you fat, not unhealthy food.

Yea, peanut butter is almost pure fat : D
Anyway, drinking in public is pretty common in Europe for example. It's just you Americans who aren't allowed to do it ; D

I love these blogs.

Interesting stuff.
I think tomatoes on a sundae might taste pretty good if the tomato slices are really fresh and soft.

Yeah, don't go back to places where they frown upon vegetarians. Culture is no excuse.

If you are in the food business you should know about people having diet requirements for whatever reasons, health, ideology, religion, whatever.

Imagine you being allergic to peanuts and you order some dish that normally has peanuts in it and you ask for no peanuts. And then they just put them in 'because it tastes better', literally poisoning you.

yeah haha I actually lived here BEFORE Samsung Plaza was even built

I kinda miss the old days tbh. Too many cars... But if you ever come by here, or anyone from TL for that matter I recommend everyone to go to JungJa (정자, it means sperm lololololollollolol). Its probably the best place I've been to ANYWHERE in korea. Infact alot of people from Seoul come here too because of the nice and quiet mood with lotsa nice bars/restaurants.

Yeah, but you're not supposed to eat a hundred grams of peanut butter. It's a spread - meant to be spread reasonably thinly on something less caloric. Normal butter is like 900 calories per 100g, but that doesn't mean you can't sensibly put 1/2 teaspoon of it on your toast.
