"I want a 12-pack of OB Beer and a 1/2lb of Bulgogi and Rice or I'm gonna get pissed!"

Bulgogi, outstanding food. Was it in Korea that I had "33" beer? (Maybe forty years ago now.)

You would have had 'bulgogi' in ROK for sure, but the "33", or "ba me ba", would have been 'the Nam'. About the only thing drinkable in Korea fourty years ago would have been "OB" and "Crown", not to mention the old rot gut favorites like "soju" and "dondonju".

33 and LaRue - Viet brands. We drank Black Label,
all that was left after the folks at Long Binh
had their pick.

Any one remember those mobile "Subway" sandwich
vendors and the unknown fillings they used or the
"crunchy" (because of the baked-in grubworms)
"French bread"?
