KIMCHI

Kimchi, the quintessential Korean food. Red, spicy, crunchy (unless really really REALLY overripe) and tasty, this particular food is present in most Korean households, mind included.

Have a bad taste in your mouth and can't get rid of it? Eat Kimchi!
Have sinus congestion and can't taste anything? Eat Kimchi!
Have a vampire infestation? Eat Kimchi!
Have avian flu, AIDS, or any type of ailment? Eat Kimchi!

Kimchi lovers UNITE!

Haha, okay, so I guess the point of all this is to spread Kimchi love and to joyfully sympathize with all other Kimchi lovers!



How ya doing, buddy?

What do you eat it with? Because my roommate (who is Mexican, not Korean) got it one time and I told her I wanted to try it, but I tried it by itself, so I didn't like it . Somebody told me later that you never eat Kimchi alone, you eat it with something else.

Anything in particular besides rice?

I usually eat it with rice, but you can eat it alone. That's what I do when there isn't any rice, or I'm just too lazy to walk the extra ten steps to the rice pot thing.

Maybe your roommate just got some crappy kimchi. That happens sometimes...the seasonings aren't right or whatever. Also, it's spicy, so some people don't like that. And you get dragon breath from it too...anyway, just try it again!

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Mmm, that description caught my attention. Maybe there's an Asian center somewhere in this country for me to find that. Also: Does it cure tuberculosis?

Haha, I don't know if it will cure it, but the smell will drive others away so that the disease is contained.

I personally like the smell; however, a majority of my non ethnic friends abhor it.

Asia Markets and Dong Dong Oriental markets carry it here in St. Louis...I'm not sure about where you are.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
