On the other end of the scale, when I grew up in Korea our cheese tasted like congealed mayo with food coloring, and our "ham" was made of ground fish and flour. I didn't know the taste of an actual ham until I went to America for studying. These days I think it's not as bad, though Korea's major beer brands are still all shit.

Interesting that they save on ham by using fish! In Germany & Austria it's the opposite, pork is super cheap and fish is expensive (they don't use ground pork to fake fish products tho).

  But they save on fish by mixing it with fluor (Fischstäbchen)

    Isn't that just battered (like schnitzel)? If you buy actual fish you get just fish.

      Yes, but when I checked the label, I was surprised how little fish there is. Only 65% fish Apparently that is the minimal amount of fish they can use and still call it Fischstäbchen

I think within the next decade, the beer will become much better. It was only recently any micro-brewing started.
