Kimchi (don't even consider making this)


Now why would I say "don't even consider making this"? Simple, most of you have never eaten kimchi. Start by going to an Asian market and buying a jar of it. Take it home. Open it. Eat some of it with chopsticks (it tastes different if you use chopsticks). LOL
I have a long history with this cured cabbage concoction. By the way, it's diet friendly (unless you're on a low salt regimen).
I've just decided not to provide a recipe today. There's no point. A person can make kimchi a million different ways. Just Google it. I think it would be safe to make it during Lent. I bought a jar of it yesterday at an Asian market here in DC. Know what? It's terrible. Even the worst kimchi I ever made was better than this.

    Aw man, too bad about the bunk jar of kimchi! You are SO right about a few things in this post: 1. I will not make this. 2. I have never tried kimchi. (hell I've not tried sauerkraut either, can't get past the stink!) 3. there are a million ways to make kimchi, as diverse as the make! Usually I've heard to take cabbage, salt, garlic (LOTS!) hot peppers and vinegar, combine in a jar and bury the jar for a year. Then dig it up and eat. Tasty???

    oh my god I love kimchi!... pickled vegetables are excellent and the Koreans really know how to do this exceptionally well... you need to get yourself to a good Korean restaurant and try it properly... you old git!

    When I was 18 working in a grocery store, a jar of kimchi fell off the shelf and the smell alone made me swear off ever trying it.

    These days I love cabbage, acetic flavors so I think I'd love it. Unless I bought the kind you had.
