We bought a jar of kimchi a while back and when I opened it it was as though Michael Moore had farted up my nose. People eat this crap?
Yes, they do eat this crap, it is akin to asian people looking at chipped beef or meatloaf and saying: people eat this crap? Diferent cultures eat different foods./Just Asking - seoul62......
Yup. Died in the wool southerner, but I do like kimchi, and sashimi, sushi, etc.
It’s actually very good and very good for you. It is full of Vitamin C & other vitamins & minerals. They say it prevents colds and flu. People in Korea often eat it at every meal.
My husband probably would if he could. It goes on everything, including hot dogs.
Some is made from cabbage, but other types are radish, made from giant white radishes, or shredded radish, which is a bit different & a bit sweet.
It can also be made with bean sprouts.
My husband has made & eaten some with entire habaneros in it that have been spun up in a blender. Ouch.
The type we buy locally (Colorado) is made at the Korean grocery store down the street. I mean to try it myself sometime, but I’m always too busy to figure it out.
Try it. It’s so good for you!
“People eat this crap?”
Yes, and it’s excellent. I wasn’t sure about it the first time I tried it. Second tme I liked it better. Now I love it. It’s also good for you, excepting the rather large quantities of salt it contains, like any naturally fermented pickled product.
It tastes good.....think about broccoli, it stinks and we still eat it.
