93. Kimchi is special

Thu Jan 19, 2012, 03:56 PM

Jan 2012

I knew a gal who had been adopted, going straight from being an 8 year old fending for herself on the streets of Korea to living in a nice home here in the US. She had some acclimatization issues. For some time she made her own kimchi and a few other things by secreting various food items from the family stores and creating buried stashes in the back yard.

Hoo boy. Not my thing. I don't really like Cabbage and I don't generally like fermented things. Between the two, I can live without kimchi quite comfortably.

did you know that in 2010 there was a Kimchi crisis? The things you learn on wikipedia...
