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.

aphid_licker posted:What is up with Korean cooking, every Korean cooking video I stumble across has an add surprising amounts of sugar stage 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. Pookah posted: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 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.

The Saddest Rhino posted:the amount of oil used for that egg seems a bit insane to me, i think you can use less to make even a thai-styled omelette. the result did come out ok though it just screamed wasteful to me It is a lot but the general concept of shitload of oil to semi-deep fry an egg is good and noble.

Alhazred posted:I always find it a bit weird that americans can't eat raw eggs while in Norway we a have dessert based on it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kogel_mogel You can eat raw eggs in the US. The government recommends you don't eat anything raw because it increases the risk of food poisoning which, no poo poo, of course it does. Doesn't mean it's likely. I have a carton of eggs in the fridge at all times just for use in cocktails. I do like when countries convince themselves they're special though. Chicken sashimi is popular in Japan, Japanese people believe there's something special about chickens in Japan so they're safe to eat raw. You'll never guess what the second most common cause of food poisoning in Japan is! It's raw chicken.

The food ones always have a bunch but most of the shows will throw in something just nuts. Also the specific claims that are not specific at all, like nearly every food show at some point someone will explain that the food here in Nowhere Village is unique because "we have both the mountains and the sea", an environment unknown anywhere else in Japan.

Yeah konnyaku has a very weird smell/taste that you get rid of by boiling it before adding it to whatever. There's also the grey stuff which has some kind of flavoring added, I think it's a seaweed. Plant based rice, finally.

People in China are also happy to just kind of gnaw on inedible stuff too. My students were constantly munching on bags of like chicken spines and ribcages in a chili sauce. Chicken feet are like that too, there's really nothing to eat on them so you're just chewing saucy cartilage.
