Thomas Jefferson returned to America from his stint as ambassador to Paris in 1789 with handwritten ice cream recipes and his own ice cream making equipment.
Soon after his return, Jefferson had an icehouse built at Monticello so he could indulge in making ice creams and water ices the year-round. It's believed that he might have possessed fried ice cream recipes obtained from France.
During Jefferson's 1801-09 presidency, one White House dinner guest wrote that he enjoyed an unusual ice cream served "in the form of small balls, enclosed in cases of warm pastry" and that it was "very good, crust wholly dried, crumbled into thin flakes." It is perhaps the earliest North American reference to deep fried ice cream recipes.
Today, we are still captivated by this tasty, gourmet treat that is hot and crusty on the outside and cold and softly melting on the inside. Santiagos uses sugar encrusted red chips to surround the cold tasty delicacy.
One person received her dish ten minutes before the other dishes. I've noticed that Korean restaurants often serve food with no regard to timing. I don't know how many times I've eaten my appetizer with my main course or while my husband watches me hungrily. The reason? Since Koreans normally share dishes (pancheon, grilling meats, etc.), timing is unimportant. We joked that our friend should not wait for our meals to eat. As the oldest person at the table, she was suppoed to eat first by Korean culture! 
And a tiny piece of bread:
Plenty of beta carotene but not enough calories! Later I bought a red bean bun at Family Mart. We stayed at a love hotel. Usually love hotels charge by the hour, and you have to pay cash. Instead of a key, the clerk buzzes you up. The parking lot entrance is shrouded with a tattered plastic curtain for car privacy. The rooms have always been really nice, though I don't know who would use the community toothpaste and hair brush!
Every lap I passed a table of choco pies (a staple at Korean races), bananas, gatorade, and water. The race is too short for a choco pie, in my opinion! My SO swears by the Korean cake rolls for his long runs, though. 
The meal included seaweed soup, rice, vegetables, kimchi, and breaded meat cutlets. When I briefly walked away from the meals, an old man approached and picked up one of the boxes! I hurried back and grabbed the box from his hands. He looked as confused as I was. Then he used hand gestures to ask me to get him his own box! Mind you, he was not in the race. I pretended I did not understand.
