Food Delivery

Just after Christmas an amazing thing happened: we can now get food delivery! We were told that you can get anything delivered in Korea, but it so happened we moved to the one area where that was not true. Since we're in the middle of farm country, and on the particularly unpopulated side of the army base, we have not been able to get food delivery. I suppose that there's enough new neighborhoods now on this side of the base that the delivery services added our area on. So we've been exploring all the new options. I've been particularly impressed with the packing of the food. Here are some examples:

Thai: Each container had a kind of plastic sticker lid that you peeled off.

Indian: Naan (folded into the shape of the bag it came in), biryani and raita, plus two curries. Interestingly, no rice on the side!

Turkish: For some reason there are about five Turkish restaurants all just off base. And they're all amazing! We got nicely organized kebab platters with a couple of sides.

Pizza! With our very own disposable pizza bag to keep it warm. The pizza wasn't amazing, but it also didn't have any of the unusual toppings Koreans tend to put on pizza. The oddest we've seen is shrimp, potato, and corn. I think you can also get squid pizza!

Vietnamese: In the center is a bag (bag?) of broth set into a plastic bowl. To the left and right are noodles, meat, and vegetables to add to the broth. The ones on the right are also bags (again, bags?!)

We've been thoroughly enjoying the luxury of food delivery. Too bad it didn't happen before I came down with pneumonia!
