Just found a great new food read: Epicourageous in Seoul. Daniel is a food-obsessed English teacher and writer living in Seoul. Just try to watch this video without immediately going out for some 갈국수 (kal guksu, Korean noodles, or as my MacBook translator widget says, “noodles which will go.”)
In another recent post, he linked to a piece on Fixing the Planet.com featuring families from around the world with a week’s worth of groceries and their food bill. While the pictures of the food (and how much it costs) are interesting, I was really struck by the different permutations of family. Some households have just the parents and kids and some have what looks like two or three generations all together.
Egypt: The Ahmed family of Cairo. Food expenditure for one week: 387.85 Egyptian Pounds or $68.53.
