2 Korean culinary arts lessons and a wedding (not mine)

Dec 11, 2005 22:04

This week has been a lot of fun. I made 김치 (a traditional Korean food served with every meal) on Tuesday, and the Koreans showing me how to make it complimented me on my technique. This wasn't just them being nice either; the other teacher doing it with us was picked on quite a bit (all in good fun). ( Later that night )

korea, matrimony, revelry, cooking

I quickly looked through my book to put together the phrase for "don't tell your mother."

Nick is corrupting the youth of Korea! First the Macerena and now this, lol.
Do they have Pocky in Korea? Learn how to make Pocky! Codeine rocks!

Hey, she taught me this cool little "pinky-swear" thing because of it.

Korea most certainly does NOT have Pocky. Importation of items from Japan doesn't go over well most of the time due to the fact that older people were still alive during the occupation. In an entry where I already mention this, I would think you could be more culturally sensitive. There is, however, Pepero (which is the exact same thing with cuter mascots). I refer you to my Pepero Day entry where there is a link to wikipedia that explains how 11-11 looks like sticks of Pepero, and so another marketing-driven holiday is born. Pocky ended up stealing that idea 5 years later, but since the idea was "borrowed" from Pocky in the first place, it must work out in the end.

Besides, how hard can it be to dip sticks in chocolate?

"Do they have Pocky in Korea?" Did you do any fact-checking before you turned this in? What if I did that that to you? Oh yeah, Erin, she's a stripe-ed green rabbit with two butts.

Okay, until next time, keep sending me your questions, ( ... )

*raises an eyebrow* Don't make me fly my coughing, sick, codeine-hopped up ass to Korea and pimp smack u around, young man. :-P I'll give ya culturally insenstive and a striped-ed green rabbit with 2 butts. Pocky wasn't in my original reply. It was something about wanting to try thr Korean food u learned to make, but at the last minute I changed it. So
:-P~~~~~ on u.
Ok, time for some more codeine drenched cough syrup. wOOt!!!!!!!!!!!
