Maybe that was taken at a store in Alaska or some other BFE place where the price of food is crazy high.

My worst Dorito experience was when I first moved to Korea, Doritos were imported and tasted the same as the US. They were the only kind of chip-like thing that was imported and were good. Then a year or two in, Doritos started being manufactured locally and now they were glazed with sugar like every domestic Korean chip and thus disgusting. I was so sad I now had no non-sweet chip options.

Those are really good, they're like pork rinds but made of wheat. The powdered lime or whatever they use kind of melts the skin on the roof of my mouth though.

Isn't it a thing that Korea was extremely poor until very recently, had a boom, and is now quite wealthy, and doing the standard 'was poor, got rich, started obsessing about sugar' thing?
I've heard Korean restaurateurs in the US who emigrated 20-30 years ago serve a completely different, low-sugar menu compared to modern South Korean cuisine.

Basically all Korean food is sugary as hell. I was always amazed at there being most of an entire aisle at the grocery store that's just various kinds of corn/rice syrup.

When you cook Korean food just cut the sugar down. Don't get rid of it entirely, there is a reason why a little of it is in there, but you can pretty much cut the sugar in half on any recipe as a starting point. If it uses both sugar and corn syrup (pretty common; rice syrup is basically the same thing but English recipes will usually say corn since that's easier to get outside Korea) I skip the syrup and lower the sugar.

Living there, whenever you try something new you get to play everyone's favorite game, Is It Sweet? and the answer is always yes.

I don't know if it's a wealth thing but the timeline is about right, yeah. The bulk of Korean immigration to the US was before the sugar obsession. There's a reasonable argument that at least LA Koreatown has better Korean food than Korea nowadays.

There's a few Korean dishes that are staples for me, and yeah, step one is cut the sugar in half and see how it tastes from there.

You have to have a load of the ethnicity who still want their traditional food to get an ethnic store. Not even British people traditional British food. :newlol:

I have seen a British section that's a quarter of an isle or so in regular supermarkets. But it's a middle of the store thing so it's shelf stable goods like sauces and candy bars. No bangers and or mash. And while Chinatown is cheap, everything in the British section costs twice what you think it should.

There's this place in Melbourne and Sydney. There might be something similar wherever you are. Why would you need a foreign food shop to get potatoes and sausages though?
