Food Cravings

Oh man, the food cravings are back and it's really not helping.

It's not a secret that Asia doesn't have all the foods America does. No matter how hard it seems they try its just not the same. The worst example, in my opinion, is Taco Bell in South Korea. You never realize how much you love and miss something until it's no where near you or its recreated poorly.

My first week in Korea I was very sick and the only thing I could think to stomach was a food I couldn't have, a crispy chicken bacon ranch wrap. You'd think South Korea's Mcdonald's would have a variation of a snack wrap but no no no... They have a Mcspicy... a spicy chicken wrap without everything I would normally need.

Korea doesn't have ranch, plain & simple. It's a known fact that they don't and probably will never have it so it's imported by foreigners. You just won't get your ranch craving so you better bring your own bottle. This also goes for cheese, especially shredded cheese. Your "taco" from a small taco joint or Taco Bell will not have cheese on it. Don't worry it will still have the veggies but no sweet delicious cheese.

Actually, just forget about dairy all together if you're going out to eat. You will find dairy products in a grocery store but it will have a nice price tag. Dairy is a huge part of my life so having it cut completely has altered my body & cravings. So I don't know what my diet will be like once I arrive back in dairy land America.

Of course, I am the last person you should talk to about food. I am a pretty picky person who likes to stick to the same foods. I think I've done better about trying new foods and being open minded but I'm no where near a foodie.
