They usually call it "potato-hot dog fishcake" because the hot dogs did that originally as a batter. Think of it as a dippy/dagwood/corn dog except with potato and french fries.

Also it's a korean chain that is fairly popular and who do make pretty good fish cakes.

That's fine. Just be cautious of anything that might look like:

보신탕 / 몽몽탕 as those are names for dog meat soup.

>>8520997
This is 삼계탕 and it is meant to be eaten on the hottest day of the year for 'energy' and healthy.

>>8521008
Spam became popular in Korea because it helped them during the war and became a staple in 부대찌개 which is also known as army stew because you throw anything into it.

Additionally Koreans associate luxury with western things. I.e. Spaghetti use to be considered luxury food compared to Korean noodles. McDonalds as well, etc.

Spam became highly treasured because it was western and also because of the war. Some Koreans hold it higher in regard when compared to fruit.

>>8521060
They're a breed of chicken popular in Asia. They have black organs as well.

While in Seoul, you will need to ask around and really look for it. I think Seoul might have it, but it's not a popular thing to eat because it is more expensive than beef (not 한우 - hanwoo) and is socially seen as an old person meal.

Its a Silky chicken. You can find them fucking everywhere. Their skin is dark blue/black, and they have dark colored meat as well.

Tastes like a regular chicken.

They're not the only breed with the black skin/meat trait.
But yeah, it's just pigment although some people market it as more nutritious or healthy.

Yes, and they want to stick needles in my foot to inject the bunions with something thats supposed to make them go away ~but they might come back.. and Im afraid of needles unfortunately.. so have been on the fence about if I wanna go through it or not, might just have to kuve with idfk..

Cut into thin slices and fry it (don't bother with oil, the spam will release plenty of fat by itself), and serve with eggs and rice. It's a tasty Hawaiian style breakfast. Super terrible for you though.

Also great pics. Always wanted to visit S. Korea.

Get some better fitting shoes, inserts can help relieve pressure on the bunions and they can improve eventually. Advice from my ma that she got from her doc!

Barefoot indoors is the only way to go - shoes inside is disrespectful as fuck. Unfortunately, I think you're maybe a little too old to do anything about those flat feet. I still think they're cute though; post pics with big strawberries!

>>8530106
Well we only avoid wearing shoes indoors because it's cleaner than tracking outside dirt and crap around inside. Its easy to get a separate pair of indoor shoes. No need to commit the sudoku. Those strawbs were pretty great, I've finished up the rest!
