Seoul - Post Report Question and Answers

What kinds of organic, vegetarian and allergy-friendly foods are available, such as organic produce, gluten-free products, meat substitutes for vegetarians, etc?

Life could be hard here for a vegetarian, at least on the surface. Tofu soup often has a meat broth and even the vegetable kimpap sometimes has a little ham.
