You guys have kimchi in the great white north?
It's a special sort of something for sure. Here's it's fermented in jars and rather sterile but in rural Korea near the DMZ they ferment in clay pots buried in the rice paddies and open sewers feed the rice paddies. The smell is gawd awful.
It's usually cabbage and very hot pepper like cayenne but there's various versions with cucumbers and changed up seasonings.
I hated it when I was in Korea then it became an acquired taste and now I love it.
My wife hates it though because of how it smells. She can be on the other side of the house with me not saying anything and being quiet and I'll hear her yell "You're eating kimchi aren't you? I can smell it! Open a window!!"
One of my favorite late night drunk meals is kimchi, pan seared chicken gizzards smothered in hot sauce, and a bowl of ramen with processed cheese slices. My wife thinks it's the most disgusting thing I eat but to me it's awesome and makes me think fondly of my time in Korea
yeah i'm with your wife on this one... i mean i'll eat if i have to but i would never ask for it. i ate enough of it in asia to last a lifetime and say i don't ever need to eat it again. along with plain white rice and mystery meats.. no more for me thank you!
