Sauce, Sauce, Sauce and English Usage in South Korea


     Restauranteurs in South Korea have a penchant for SAUCE!  It's what makes something TASTE like bacon, or chili, or cheese, or bulgogi...  Take, for example, the hotdog pictured above.  What I ordered was a "chili dog."  Mind you, I'm from the USA, and, so, I had something else in mind (like a hotdog topped with chili beans and meat).  I shouldn't complain too much.  This hotdog cost less than a buck or two.  Can you see the hotdog in there anywhere.  Neither could I!  Can you see the SAUCE (that made it kinda TASTE like a chili dog)?  In South Korea, they use SAUCE, SAUCE, and more SAUCE on pizza, hamburgers, hot dogs, sandwiches...



    Gotta give em credit for trying!  In South Korea, often magazine covers start off in English.  Inside, it all Korean.  Often, restaurant menus start off in English.  The description of the food is in Korean.  Often signs in restrooms look like these.  I think I get the one above, but I'm not sure about the one below.
