Drama Food I Crave


The best of us drama addicts eat on the go. When approximately 4-8 hours of your day are devoted to a computer screen, meals are something to we have to budget our time for. They’re also something which can be greatly influenced by the dramas we watch. Whether it’s breakfast, lunch, dinner, or your third midnight snack, any combo of Korean, Japanese, Taiwanese or Chinese delicacies can seem appetizing when you’ve spent years watching actors make and eat them.
 
So why is it that half the time I see something really mouth-watering, reality is that I’m not eating some freshly brewed pot of hot, steaming kimchi jjigae? I’m munching on cheese puffs… Can life just get any more depressing? (No offense to the cheese puffs.)

  1. gaaaaaah! Ever since I watched Kimchi Family, I crave Korean food. And I can't get it here. At least not Kimchi-Family style food.

    1. Craving Korean food is certainly one of the number one symptoms of drama-watching. I try to make do the best I can :P Best few days of my life though were spent with a Korean family in Oregon, and the uhmunni cooked about 4 meals a day for us! It was heaven..

    1. I've been torturing myself all day dramathoning Flower Boy Ramyun Shop.. now even the ramen I make looks unappetizing in comparison. Lol

  3. Aaargh...this makes me soo hungry and the worst thing is that the the things I'm craving for are impossible to find here where I live. Well, noodles you can find in your local convenience store, but I would have no kimchi to eat it with. And kimchi is something I really want to try, especially after watching Running Man ep 123 where they made kimchi. Totally mouthwatering.
    The only food I don't find so appetizing is the black bean noodles. They look really messy. But I'm sure it tastes better than it looks.
    At least I am very familiar with one of these foods - sundae. Here where I live it's something you eat during Christmas and you eat it with foxberry jam. And we call it blood sausage. It's not my favourite food ever, but if it's done well it's quite tasty. Usually people who haven't eaten it before freak out because it's made with blood..

    1. The black bean noodles are probably the most 'foreign' thing to me. Not even really Korean, and it requires no red pepper paste, which is the weirdest thing. I generally not think I'm making Korean food if it doens't have the gochujang. XD

      I think Sundae, or the blood sausage, is common to quite a few other cultures. I've just never really been around it. By the way, what is foxberry jam? Or, I've never even heard of foxberries?

    2. Oh, I meant cowberries (lingonberries).

    3. Haven't heard of cowberries either - but I DO know lingon berries! And it is delicious. :)
