How Could I Forget About Costco!


Can you guess what this is? .....????? My friends and I were in shock when we saw all the people at the food court in Costco eating this like a salad in addition to the other items they had. Korean Costco serves bulgogi bake (like American chicken bake), hot dog set (like American set but more expensive and not as tasty), secret bulgogi pizza that is not on the menu, and yogurt ice cream. Anyway, this curious food photo is made of minced onions, packaged relish, mustard and ketchup squirted onto a plate. Since everyone was making it, my friends and I made our own onion salad and I was the brave one to test first. It wasn't too bad, but the concept is just so strange to me. I never thought three condiments and one vegetable could make a dish. One of my friends suggested that since Costco serves mainly Americanized foods, Koreans thought of making this salad to act as a sort-of stand-in Korean side dish, a little more like home.
