Help! Friend is making Korean food for me next week. I have already said I don't like spice much, is there anything else I'm likely to need to warn for? I don't know her quite well enough to give the usual list, but don't want to offend by not being able to eat things. Does Korean food generally contain: eggs, sweetcorn, cauliflower, mushrooms, banana? There are (many) other things I dislike but those I can probably force down.

There are some more entries on http://beenanywherenice.wordpress.com

I am going to the Tate Modern this afternoon to visit the Guerilla Girls' complaints department installation. I tried to see the Guerilla Girls speak in Kendal once, but got the day wrong and showed up 24 hours too late. It was very upsetting, and I hope this will make up for it. I also plan to see the Georgia O'Keefe exhibition. I bought a Tate membership with the plus guest option, so in the future if anyone is in London and wants to get in for free, hit me up.

I meant to go to the Guerilla Girls yesterday, but got lost looking for a post office to send back a box full of bras in which the larger sizes were all too big and the smaller sizes were all too small, and missed the opening times. So instead I went to Poundland and Peacocks in Elephant and Castle and bought a reduced Christmas jumper and stocked up on bags of mini party rings.

The Simpsons All Tapped Out is celebrating halloween this year with monsters, and I find it very trying becasue they are large wormy creatures and there is one variety I simply can't bear to look at.

I only know one Korean recipe which does have eggs on top. It also includes red bean paste and sesame oil and everyone I have cooked it for has liked it. Even the ozard dude who is a bit of a fusspot.

I know nothing about korean food.
That is not your url.
I desperately hope that the Guerilla Girls were only there yesterday.
You should leave Tapped Out in a huff. That's the halloween way.

I googled it and found a list of myths you shouldn't believe about Korean food. I didn't know there were myths.

I have edited. It is now my url in the post.

THEY WERE NOT. They were there today, and it was the last day. I saw an actual Guerilla Girl in the wild!

I can't leave Tapped Out, I haven't built the Googolplex yet. I just squint so I can't really see when I go near what I think is a monster.

Do you now believe the myths? I bet the myths are true.

One of they myths is "Korean food is very spicy" I am not believing that myth hard. Another one is that it's very dog meat heavy. Apparently there's only dog meat in Korea to satiate the Chinese market.

I know you're going to be entirely on the wrong coast to me when you come to Canada, but do feel free to pop by if you're ever closer. Cannot guarantee a literature themed road trip as I too do not drive (even though technically I can).

Yes I should have left this comment on your actual blog.

Comments are good anywhere!

I would love to come and see you, even if no literature themed road trips are involved. Vancouver is on my list of places to one day visit (possibly on the way back from Pacific islands) and not just because Peter DeLuise lives there.

Excellent. Well by the looks of things we'll be here for another year at least. I think forever if Max gets his way. Hmm.

I'm afraid I don't know about Korean food, I just wanted to celebrate the fact that there is someone else in my world who doesn't like sweetcorn or banana! I am sick of being told that there's nothing to dislike about them.
