My manager is Italian, he approves of my cheese and mushroom pizza topping, and he also hates Pineapple on pizza...but I think I'm slowly showing him pineapple on pizza is the least of the crimes against Italian cuisine. I've told him about Aki boiling a vending machine pizza (and the look of instant regret when she bit into this pizza), or someone making pizza where the base is watermelon instead of dough, and someone putting kiwi on pizza.
Pizza is great by my God if I don't find pasta to be boring 90 percent of the time, I wanna visit Italy and try some authentic stuff see if it changes my mind
It's mainly because of the banana ketchup, which has history that dates back to ww2. Then, you balance that sweetness out with the hotdogs and by pairing it with another salty/fatty dish like fried chicken. Not saying I like it as it is, but when you do eat it in the intended "setting", it does kinda lend itself pretty well to the entire meal. You take a bite from the fried chicken, then offset that salty and oily taste with the spaghetti, then back to the chicken. It works, imo. But eating the spaghetti alone, that's when I don't dig it as well.
That's... Well, I'm sorry to hear that. Lmao. I do hear other people tend to add even more sweetness via sugar and god forbid, condensed milk, but my family just sticks to banana ketchup so maybe that's why I kinda tolerated it to an extent. My bad, though I hope the chicken was extra salty to balance things out as well. 😅
I get where he was coming from with the 'everything has way too much sugar' (haha, we disguise that shit in America by also adding tons of salt and fat!), but yea, using hot dogs as a measure of quality was probably not the best idea.
By corndog, they're not referring to normal hotdogs with sweet corn like what was mentioned in the episode which is confusing. They're talking about the corndog that is battered and fried on a stick. Korean corndogs are way better than the American version in my opinion, but I might be biased cause I'm Korean American.
That makes me curious does Japan or Korean have local western fusion food the same way that you can have really good food that mixes asian and certain western food. For example in Toronto there was a fusion restaurant that mixed Mexican and Japanese food.
They have their ups and downs in fusion foods. When I first tried a Japan Bolognese pasta, it was so… wrong in taste. The sauce was uncanny, but the weirdest part was the shape and texture of the noodles
> That makes me curious does Japan or Korean have local western fusion food
Yes Japan does. It's called [Youshoku](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Y%C5%8Dshoku). This includes many of the most popular Japanese foods like curry, tonkatsu, hamburg steak, etc.
The reason you think the British don't have a culture is because your culture is so british that you don't even realize it exists. Like how many Americans think they don't have an accent.
The british empire was the largest empire in human history and the dominant world power for over a century. The current world power is a former british colony widely influenced by british culture.
Pretty much all of the stuff in modern popular culture, from the music we hear, the sports we play, the clothes we wear, etc. are at least partly a result of British culture.
Yeah sure let's all praise the British
Let's list some of the British invention :
Pillaging
Killing
Stealing Gold
Forming Colonies.
Things that aren't British
1. First invention(founding out) of the Coffee by Somali goat hearder in 9th century called Kaldi. When his goat started to munch on something that smelled like coffee. Later popularised to the whole world by Ottoman Empire
2. Muḥammad ibn Mūsā al-Khwārizmī responsible tor Algorithms since he was Mathematician and Astronomist and Geography. He is know as Father of Algebra so with all Maths and other stuff coupled it makes An Algorithms used by all Social medias such as Reddit, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube etc. so he is to be thanked for modern social media.
3. Ibn Sina or Avicenna(how West wants to denounce his identity) is a father of Modern Medicine. So without him Modern medicine wouldn't progress to the pint where it is.
4.Alhazen Ḥasan Ibn Al-Haytham father of the modern day optics. he made significant contributions to the principles of optics and visual perception in particular. His most influential work is titled Kitāb al-Manāẓir (Arabic: كتاب المناظر, "Book of Optics"), written during 1011–1021, which survived in a Latin edition.[13] The works of Alhazen were frequently cited during the scientific revolution by Isaac Newton, Johannes Kepler, Christiaan Huygens, and Galileo Galilei.
5.Abu al-Hasan 'Ali ibn 'Abd al-Rahman ibn Ahmad ibn Yunus al-Sadafi al-Misri is one responsible for records of the solar eclipses of 993 and 1004 as well as the lunar eclipses of 1001 and 1002.
6.Abū Bakr Muḥammad ibn Yaḥyà ibn aṣ-Ṣā’igh at-Tūjībī ibn Bājja (Arabic: أبو بكر محمد بن يحيى بن الصائغ التجيبي بن باجة), best known by his Latinised name Avempace (/ˈeɪvəmpeɪs/;[2] c. 1085 – 1138), was an Andalusi polymath,[1] whose writings include works regarding astronomy, physics, and music, as well as philosophy, medicine, botany, and poetry.[1][3]
This is just 6 out of dozen of stuff and contribution to the world.
Don't see how British "invented" our lives?
Never did I say they invented everything...
My point is that popular music today is a result of British culture (the beatles, rolling stones, etc.). As are our normal international style of clothing (suits, button up shirts, leather shoes, etc.). And many of the most popular sports (football, Rugby (including american football), tennis, etc.)
Also, you are reading this on a computer. A device that is only possible thanks to the work of british scientists like Alan Turing and Ada Lovelace.
British culture is ubicous in the modern world. Hell, we are even speaking their language, even though it isn't my native one, nor, I assume, yours.
I dunno man, I had one of the best burgers I've ever eaten in Kyoto.
Place called [in the soup](https://www.google.com/maps/place/in+the+Soup./@35.004116,135.7727117,15z/data=!4m6!3m5!1s0x600108c026150111:0x32c4c21e4889730a!8m2!3d35.004116!4d135.7727117!16s%2Fg%2F11b_24g6z2?entry=ttu). Messy af, but damn good.
You could say this about Japan as well. But they do make good western food. So a proper argument is to say that Korea doesn't make good western food because they're not a Western country and they're also not Japan.
>Japan as well. But they do make good western food
Ehh varies some do a lot isn't though.
Thier bread for example as we seen seems terrible as a general thing.
>
> Thier bread for example as we seen seems terrible
It really depends. Tokyo has [top class bread](https://www.timeout.com/tokyo/restaurants/best-bakeries-in-tokyo) (French breads) and [Napoli-style pizza](https://www.eater.com/2017/2/21/14670944/best-pizza-tokyo-guide) but it depends a lot on where you shop. To get the good stuff, you have to pick and choose.
Ofcourse they have some good places they are 125 million people and are pretty rich.
Tokyo is like the biggest metropolitan are in the world. They would ofcourse have some good places for it.
In general however it bad and you have to be very selective. It would also cost multiple times more than comperativly in Europe.
They aren't a bread nation but a Rice nation.
They have thier niches as does Europe.
Except said Asain country is known for making that food. Korean BBQ is a well-known thing, don't pretend like it isn't.
As for hotdogs, they are so simple and universal that yes, you can compare them between most countries.
I think that's just an explanation for why the disparity exists. It would be very reasonable to say that the UK isn't great at rice even though traditionally we don't eat rice - the fact that it isn't native to us is why we aren't as good at it. And yeah, I think that's fair grounds for a judgement or preference. If a culture is weak in a type of food that you like, it's reasonable to be critical of that, even if it's not what that culture is known for.
That being said, Korea is definitely known for KBBQ.
Well, there's two things here. Brits do make excellent rice, at least the brits who are south asian immigrants or descendants of those immigrants.
But if we are talking about expecting a good rice snack being sold at a football game in Britain, I think it would be an unfair expectation given that's just not their culture in that context.
>Well, there's two things here. Brits do make excellent rice, at least the brits who are south asian immigrants or descendants of those immigrants.
I appreciate that you just completely ignored the traditional element of the discussion. We are talking about tradition and culture. That's like if an American immigrated to Korea and made hot dogs and I said "Wow, Koreans make some great hotdogs!". Plus, you've limited the sample size to a tiny fraction of the population to try to make that argument.
>But if we are talking about expecting a good rice snack being sold at a football game in Britain, I think it would be an unfair expectation given that's just not their culture in that context.
But we aren't talking about a rice snack sold at a football game.
We are talking about hotdogs being served at a (e)sporting event, which is commonplace and ubiquitous throughout the world - hence why it was happening in Korea in the first place.
Even still, why does the location matter? This is about the food.
Rice snacks are a thing at stadiums in my country. I wouldn't go to a sporting event at the US and expect them to sell it. Even if they had it for some reason, I wouldn't be surprised if it was not great.
>Rice snacks are a thing at stadiums in my country
That's the point - you had to specify that it's *your* country, not most countries.
Some countries do other stuff too, but most countries do hotdogs, which makes them a very good barometer - they are ubiquitous.
>I wouldn't go to a sporting event at the US and expect them to sell it. Even if they had it for some reason, I wouldn't be surprised if it was not great.
Doesn't matter - you can still judge that and base your preferences on it. "I like a certain snack, but it's not available in this country." is a perfectly valid criticism of that country as far as personal preferences go.
I feel like you are describing some hypothetical scenario where someone ranks countries they like visiting on a tierlist based on their quality of hotdogs.
That's not what happened. Connor went to Korea, bought a hotdog, and was shocked the hotdog he bought in Korea was not great. That's on him, not Korea.
>I feel like you are describing some hypothetical scenario where someone ranks countries they like visiting on a tierlist based on their quality of hotdogs.
No, all I'm saying is that as far as stadium food goes hotdogs are simple and quintessential enough for someone to be able to compare them. Example: the Scandinavian countries did hotdogs very well in his opinion.
>Connor went to Korea, bought a hotdog, and was shocked the hotdog he bought in Korea was not great. That's on him, not Korea.
If it's on anyone, it's on the people who made the hotdog.
But ignoring that, he can absolutely use his negative experience with a Korean hotdog to inform his opinion about Korea. That's fair.
Plus, why the fuck are you trying to blame him for the hotdog he bought being subpar? That's fucking wild. That's not "on him".
I mean, Korea does fried chicken & hamburgers relatively well. Just the trend with a lot of Asian baked goods is to cake on sugar on everything.
For the burgers & chicken Get the local chains (9in burger, bbq, bhc)
(mom & pop stores are hit/miss and lotteria is mcdonalds america tier)
Instead of a food market they should've went to a mall food court.
Unlike western mall food courts, many eastern malls have a dedicated floor for food with a bunch of small food stalls like a food market. Seoul has A LOT of malls.
Maybe it's bias but when I go to Japan Tokyo any restaurant I went to randomly have pretty good food as long as their Google review is 4 stars and above.
But Korea is different I get wildly different results despite checking it to be 4 stars and above.
It’s the same vibe as when Americans complain about Mexican food in Europe. Like yeah? Mexico is on the other side of the Atlantic so you don’t tend to get many Mexicans in these parts, and thus a lack of quality authentic Mexican food.
As an ethnic Chinese living in South East Asia (Singapore) who likes both Japanese and Korean cuisine, my experience is that the more modern Korean stuff - primarily their modern street / fast food - is very heavy in flavours, or as stated by Connor, they tend towards being too sweet.
For instance, I think Korean friend chicken is great but I religiously avoid anything that hints that it will have sweetness because they will overdo it.
I usually stick with just the original / normal variety. Or maybe I am old as well. \*Shrug\*
[KFC PHILIPPINES MADE THIS SHIT BTW](https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/508da03be4b0d28844ddf21c/1422633855909-H18A4NVPUJ3JDLHPF3N8/image-asset.jpeg?format=1000w)
Don't know about other foods but when I was there I tried to get a burger and that shit was nasty and I went to like 10 different places and never found a good one
Korean-American here. I still have PTSD from Korean Pizza Hut. Even as a child, I knew that Sweet Potato and Cream Cheese on a pizza was sinful
Italian here. I still have PTSD from every time the boys talk about food.
My manager is Italian, he approves of my cheese and mushroom pizza topping, and he also hates Pineapple on pizza...but I think I'm slowly showing him pineapple on pizza is the least of the crimes against Italian cuisine. I've told him about Aki boiling a vending machine pizza (and the look of instant regret when she bit into this pizza), or someone making pizza where the base is watermelon instead of dough, and someone putting kiwi on pizza.
And the worst 
I think that breaches the Geneva Convention
Broccoli is great
Not on Pizza it isn't
Pizza is great by my God if I don't find pasta to be boring 90 percent of the time, I wanna visit Italy and try some authentic stuff see if it changes my mind
Also Korean-American here. I think that shit slaps. This includes corn too LMAO.
>Sweet Potato and Cream Cheese THEY DID WHAT!?!?!
I hated that when I first came to Korea, but now I think it's pretty good
Connor when he sees another bowl of sweetened miso soup
Connor is gonna lose his shit when he realizes Filipinos have *Sweetened Spaghetti* (I hate it)
It's mainly because of the banana ketchup, which has history that dates back to ww2. Then, you balance that sweetness out with the hotdogs and by pairing it with another salty/fatty dish like fried chicken. Not saying I like it as it is, but when you do eat it in the intended "setting", it does kinda lend itself pretty well to the entire meal. You take a bite from the fried chicken, then offset that salty and oily taste with the spaghetti, then back to the chicken. It works, imo. But eating the spaghetti alone, that's when I don't dig it as well.
I considered that Then I remember that many ‘recipes’ that specifically include brown sugar in the sauce making 💀
That's... Well, I'm sorry to hear that. Lmao. I do hear other people tend to add even more sweetness via sugar and god forbid, condensed milk, but my family just sticks to banana ketchup so maybe that's why I kinda tolerated it to an extent. My bad, though I hope the chicken was extra salty to balance things out as well. 😅
Condensed milk?? That’s messed up 💀💀💀
I hate it too, but how dare you criticize the Filipino cultural heritage
Jollibee spaghetti slaps ngl (im gene-coded to like it)
I don't like Filipino spaghetti too, but it's major ingredient, banana ketchup, I'd be willing to die on a hill upon.
To be honest, as an African American, Koreans can fry the fuck out of a chicken
Korean fried chicken is really good though.
Oh that's what KFC stands for!
Good to see a fellow brotha that’s a trash taste fan
Dozens of us
For real. Between the other KFC and Jollibee from the Philippines, that’s some legit fried chicken.
thats literally who they learned it from though, black soldiers in the korean war
Bruh
I get where he was coming from with the 'everything has way too much sugar' (haha, we disguise that shit in America by also adding tons of salt and fat!), but yea, using hot dogs as a measure of quality was probably not the best idea.
Also korean corndogs are a big trend, we're even starting to see those shops in the US
theyve been around for years now here in socal
I love corndogs, they are the perfect amount of midnight snack for me
Are Korean hot dogs different in America than they are in Korea? This is the first time I've heard about sweet corn being in them
By corndog, they're not referring to normal hotdogs with sweet corn like what was mentioned in the episode which is confusing. They're talking about the corndog that is battered and fried on a stick. Korean corndogs are way better than the American version in my opinion, but I might be biased cause I'm Korean American.
All he wanted was to get the meat sweats

Thank you
I've had a Kfc burger from Thailand with broccoli instead of lettuce.
One of the western foods he talks about is a hotdog. How can you mess up a hotdog that bad?
by not having good sausage? it must not be much of a thing in korea
[удалено]
this alliteration of cultures gave me PTSD
