seoul food for people who love to eat
This article is so funny, soju came out Fatman’s nose (even more of an accomplishment, because we weren’t drinking at the time.)
Sorry, Dokdo is Ours. Yours was hilarious, but Mr. Breen is truly the master.

Excellent and very funny article, but it left me with an overwhelming urge for weetabix, which I have never found here in Korea…. Damn you Breen and your biting and yet ever so slightly nostalgic wit!

This is absolute tripe, the man has clearly learnt everything he knows about British food from a cereal packet, probably when he was in the UK eating breakfast. Oh and I am almost certain that English isn’t Mr Breens first lanaguage.

And by the state of my typing, it isn’t mine either.

Ok, so I look like an ass. I really thought he was serious. Very funny when looked at in the right light although British cuisine does have more to offer than most people think.

Fatman hasn’t seen regular weetbix anywhere, not even on the black market . . .BUT! we have seen flavored mini-bix in department store’s on occassion, in the imported food section.

Mmmm, could that satisfy my cereal cravings? I might have to take a gander at those mini-bix things. Thanks for the info!

hilarious!
Even the very 1st sentence “The revelation last year that tourists like to eat food…” My my, before last year, we thought tourists liked to eat grass… to think we were wrong.
Having lived in London for a while, I find it refreshing someone actually finds British cuisine worth rhapsodizing about. Even the locals don’t exactly hold their food in high regard. I’m glad we’ve found a fanatical enthusiast.
Well, thanks to Mr Breen I learnt that carrots are not green, Yorkshire puddings are only eaten on Sundays (may all respect the Yorkshire Sabbath), rum tastes horrendously, and that I should never go to Australia to spend my money and leave, as a foreign bastard.
