Two weeks in Korea and no hang-gogi in site (Mutton). What a blow. The beef is horrendously expensive. I live in Pyeontaek, and the E-mart here simply said that they do NOT keep mutton!

Amazing. We need some Indians here, fast! An Indian restaurant that does not serve lamb curry is unthinkable>

@#15:

Does that mean taking clenbuterol would give me bitch tits, too?

Can you post a diagram of the Korean various dog cuts? It’d be interesting to learn how they might differ from Chinese dog cuts.

If you think eating meat from animals treated with clenbuterol is bad, consider that it’s also a popular steroid in the weightlifting world, as are some concoctions originally intended for horses. Probably among the reasons Arnold has such awful bitch tits nowadays.

Had never heard of clenbuterol.

Yikes. Is it really standard practice to administer it in the Korean beef industry?

“the local farmed venison is a poor substitute for the stuff that still has a slug from my gun in it.”

Sure, but it’s still better than the usual chicken, beef, or pork.

Accordingly, the US cattleman can sell what would normally be an inexpensive cut in the US for a high price in Korea. This is why the US is keen to open the beef market here.

No, the US is keen to sell beef here as any possible cut will get a high price in Korea. The profit margin on oxtails and bones is certainly extreme compared to the US, but any cut will make money. The only drawback to the US beef for consumers here is the lack of Clenbuterol aftertaste and its attendant arrhythmia.
