I wont eat that, it doesn't look yummy.

I suppose you eat kimchi (and like it) too? You are sadly correct about many Americans these days, there are those who won't eat anything unfamiliar or without ('Merican!) BBQ sauce and wrapped in bacon. They don't appreciate the world of good food that exists, even when it is available here in the US. However, "Fried Pikachu" selling for $0.25ea. is suspiciously below the $1-$2 you mention and it is doubtful that raising pigs costs that much less in Korea than in the rest of the world. Maybe the "meat" is part kimchi? That alone would keep me from trying it.

The cutlets may be very small. I'm not sure about its scale based on those photographs.

I've always imagined that this was the sort of thing that Giovanni ate anyways. Makes you wonder if that permanent marker Jigglypuff met its demise this way...


Do they eat Jigglypuff in Hoenn?

Then again, that Jigglypuff's last appearance was in Mauville City, which is a really strange place where there are all sorts of weirdos.

You know? This whole article is terribly hilarious.

First, the title itself is sort of funny and probably he/she is heart-broken as they're typing this article.

Secondly, this fried Pikachu cutlet is created in South Korea, let alone Japan.

And lastly, that prices though...

I think that a lot of Pokemon fans wouldn't want to eat something that has a feint resemblance to Pikachu because he's the most famous Pokemon and because it looks kind of freaky.

I wonder what other Pokémon-inspired foods that are out there in South Korea besides this not-so-great Pikachu pork cutlet?
