And yet as I watch various Korean historical dramas I still wait for the interrogators to bring on...
the comfy chair!
and its dreaded accessory...
the fluffy pillow!

Thanks, Moreshige, for the interesting article. I didn't know the Cordon Bleu-Kimchi project. Kimchi-Camembert fried dish and kimchi chocolate cake ? Curious... Macaroni-kimchi gratin is less shocking. I frequently make Kimchi pastas. As I'm not fond of Camembert, i'll try to create Mozzarella-Kimchi spaghetti or sliced Emmental-Kimchi pasta. ;D

Tasted good but my stomach didn't agree so much. Sometimes I wonder about the compatibilty of fusion food. The european ingredients are basically milk products( cheese and butter), flour (breads and cakes), sugar, tomato sauce vs asian food: rice, red pepper (korean), soy sauce etc. Many asians are lactose intolerant so that's why they can't deal with many western foods. And as for koreans, so many times I remember even now how korean students both international and korean-americans would bring a bottle of tobasco sauce to go with their french fries or anything else they ate at school! My father's the same way except that he has to have korean food (his bap) whenever he travels around the world. Too bad korean resturants aren't like chinese places which are found just about anywhere you go.

My father's the same way except that he has to have korean food (his bap) whenever he travels around the world. Too bad korean resturants aren't like chinese places which are found just about anywhere you go. I also have the lactose problem. I'll try a new pasta with Mozzarella or Emmental, though. These are rare cheeses I can take without problem. I like South European style such as Italian, Spanish and Provencal (of Provence) cuisine. In my pastas, I put olive oil, garlics, ham (or bacon) and a little bit of Kimchi. Southern European cuisine frequently uses olive oil and tomates. It's soft. I like sea food spaghetti and Paella. On the other hand, nothern European cuisine contains lots of butter, cheese and milk. Very heavy.

I saw a Globe Trekker on Mongolia recently. Apparently, milk products from horses are a principal part of their diet. I guess Koreans are culturally distinct from Mongolians in diet. I have noticed that Chinese food uses no milk products. Is this due to lack of grazing land, or is there an animus toward milk foods historically?

I have noticed that Chinese food uses no milk products. Is this due to lack of grazing land, or is there an animus toward milk foods historically? Interesting theory. All asian cultures that I know of with the exception of the Mongolians and southeast asians (India etc.), don't have milk based traditional foods. I guess nobody discovered the idea...drinking the milk of an animal. Maybe asian cultures thought it was a strange idea just like how the aboringines of Australia thought consuming eggs was a no-no.

A little info on genetics of L.I. L.I. info I am lactose senstive but mostly to whole milk. I can eat cheese especially dark yellow cheese such as cheddar. And my heritage is Scandinavian. Seems we're getting a little off topic. Maybe start a food thread?

I'm not free and nautral? See, you gave MasterCrabby a chance to make a misspelling joke. Watch out for that MasterCrabby. He really is, but it's okay, because he warns us with his name. I meant, you're not allowed to be free and natural. It's a joke that I singled you out for unfathomable reasons. Get it? Huh? Huh? Bo

Like the sinking feeling of embarrassment in the unfathomable sea of spelling wreckage.
