Kimchi

[unozero]

my uncle got a huge jar of Kimchi today.I have some but man it's nasty but at the same time I keep on getting a few pieces every few hours.
Anybody else have Kimchi before?
Are there any other foods that are so good that they're gross?

Kimchi is the national food of Korea, and the varieties and quality of preparation are just about as endless as is with pizza.

That being said, I've never had Kimchi, but I want to try some nice cucumber Kimchi. I have a really nice Korean mart around here since there's a huge Korean population in my town, and I intend to try some one of these days.

Anyways... I shouldn't be up... had to do a couple things before actually going to bed. But I'm off now.

Protip: Judging a huge jar of Kimchi is kind of like judging a can of soup at the grocery store compared to freshly made, quality soups.

I really have no idea what kimchi actually is but I've had kimchi flavored ramen.

I had some kimchi that my Korean friend made, and liked it. Then had some at a restaurant and didn't.

I still prefer plain pickled cabbage/carrots better though (e.g. just throw the raw vegetable in vinegar/pickle juice for a week or so, and eat while it's "fresh" and not all like whatever kimchi is).

[edit]
According to wikipedia, kimchi is vegetables fermented in seasonings.
So I guess it's different from pickled vegetables although for some reason my friend's kimchi reminded me of that.

Well that sounds like it could be good. I don't know if I've ever even heard of it.

I have been interested in trying new foods lately. I tried lentil soup for the first time recently and - after putting a zillion spices in it - it's just amazing as hell, especially with hot baked sour dough bread for dipping.

I thought it was just boring soup for old people, but turns out, this shit is legendary:

Lentil soup is mentioned in the Bible: In Genesis 25:34, Esau is prepared to give up his birthright for a pot of fragrant red lentil soup (a "mess of pottage") being cooked by his brother, Jacob.

The ancient Greek dramatist, Aristophanes, mentions lentil soup in his plays and describes it as the "sweetest of delicacies."

Just get your spice rack ready, otherwise, it's bland.

You barbarians don't know Kimchi. :/

I'm always up for trying new foods, and I've wanted to try Kimchi.

However, my girlfriend and I went to a korean mart and bought those unrefridgerated "thousand year old duck eggs"; they are eggs that are buried in clay and ash for about a month, and they sort of... rot, sort of. Anyways, as expected, it was green, it smelled like garbage, and tasted not so good.

 

[15357]

Fun fact: Those eggs are not even trad. Korean.

Bitches don't know about green eggs and ham.

Chinese apparently.

I think I'm going to be sick. That's the Century Egg sliced in half.

 

[15357]

Those are.... edible.

 

[Jerry_111]

Kimchi is great. Goes well as a sidedish for a lot of food. FERMENTED CABBAGE FOR THE ****ING WIN!

Yo, that is ****in' nasty, dawg. That's... an egg?

That's not my idea of Chinese food. But they eat all kinds of shit, though.

Looks like mercury.

 

[VirusType2]

That's what I thought.

My jap friend's jap mother makes kimchi (i thought it was a japanese food until now). Shit is delicious.

What's that? I don't get it. Also, I made lentil with baked bread after making that post.

I hope that from now on "KOREA SUPERIOR" is forever ingrained in your head.



Anyway, the eggs that we were talking about, they aren't that bad tasting. They look gross, but taste more like gelatin and flavorless Jello more than anything.

I wouldn't recommend eating it, though,.

 

[VirusType2]

Oh god, like congealed mayonnaise.

I won't eat anything that's clear. That includes Jello (made from animals).

I haven't had it by itself but kimchi beef is delicious

I'm a big lentil fan. Dahl(the pink split ones) are fabulous in soups because they dissolve away into nothing and have a better taste than the green ones.

What's that? I don't get it.

The jar is imported from Korea so it has to be the real deal.

I take that back it was "bottled" in Los Alamitos lol

I love Kimchi, spicy and saucy. The only veggie dish I could eat often without getting tired of it.
