What's with all the ads all of a sudden for Kimchee? And a 'special' on Kimchee on the science channel?

Seems that the SK Government is trying to push Korean food into our palettes? To compete with all the other good Asian stuff? I mean... last year it was India and pushing Curry... which is also awesome!

Which is actually awesome, because I love Kimchee and all foods South Korean. North Korean, not so much. I never developed a taste for crickets, ants and grass. But South Korean food... ranging from BBQ to really hot Kimchee is among my favorites.

Just seems interesting that this is suddenly a thing! But bring it on! I'd love to be able to buy good kimchee at my local grocery store. Anyone else here a Korean food fan?

Sirhr

PS. Developed a taste for it when a buddy came back from a tour in Korea. We were rooming together in NC and he was constantly making kimchee and stuff. Even burying it in the yard to Ferment. Stupid good!!!

Best thing anyone could ever do is go to SK and eat every little stop that smells good. Buddy and me took some time over there and rode a bus south until it was hard to find anyone that spoke english. Take pictures of where you want to go from a map and show the cab driver. I miss good korean food.

I don't know if it's actually a real "Korean" dish or not. But my go-to meal at my wife's favorite restaurant (she goes there for the sushi) is the spicy Korean pork.

It's fucking phenomenal. Enough heat to make it interesting but not overpowering.

Never tried the kimchi.

Enjoy those kimchee farts. The eye watering stink that blows out of most Koreans is amazing. People who eat that have the most horrible farts on the planet.

If you survived being in an elevator or on a plane with an older Korean man who ate rotting cabbage at every meal they gave you a medal.

Kimchee farts dissolve aluminium, pilots were not allowed to eat it.

Kimchee will stink up your refrigerator something fierce.

Nerd trivia point:
In the original Japanese Anime series Neon Genesis Evangelion, in one scene a couple side protagonists are in the kitchen / breakroom of underground base and on the refrigerator is taped a sign in Japanese that says "don't put Kimchee in this refrigerator." Ha!

I grew up on angry sauerkraut aka kimchi, an engineer that worked for my dad was a Korean National and when he found out that my dad killed a few Norks and more than a few ChiComs his wife made us kimchi and other dishes on a somewhat regular basis. I have found a few decent brands in stores but nothing like what came out of a hole in their backyard.

One of the chefs at the Chinese supermarket hot food buffet here told a customer in Mandarin once that "Korean fire arrows do not carry incendiary payloads. They self ignite upon being shot out of the bow because the builders breathed on them after eating kimchee". 😂😂😂

There is a traditional Korean spicy pork dish. So maybe it’s real Korean food

As for Kimchi, there are different kinds too. Cucumber kimchi is one of my favorites along with a radish kimchi.

No self respecting Korean would contain their kimchi like that. I swear my Buddys dad was proud of how bad the fridge smelled. I guess the worse it smelled the hotter and better the kimchi was. In high school it was always "not it" or paper rock scissors to see who had to go to the fridge if we were at the Chay house. When he would come downstairs to rattle off at us in Korean it was all you could do to not laugh. He'd be going off on his boys and every 5 seconds he was ripping ass mid sentence without skipping a beat. He never cracked a smile, never broke stride, just ripped huge ass right through the lecture. He'd leave us with a blown out room and dejected boys. I dont know if he'd wait until he had gas to come yell at us or if he was just always ripping ass.
 
i like kimchi and pickled veg they put on a bann mi, but i don't like anything too hot.
it has to be easy on the pooper.

I fucking love cucumber kimchi. I don’t get it very often because I’m the only one in the house that likes any weird food.
 
Everyone that personally knows me knows I'm the guy that has no problem eating foreign *unusual* food.
Food from the Mediterranean area....greek, north african, turkey, armenian, lots of different asian foods like thai and jap, etc.
But kimchi ? Funk dat, leave it buried.
You guys do know that the authentic way to make it is in a ceramic urn and bury it for a few months....right ?
Best left in the ground, someone put it there for a reason.

I grew up in Hawaii with a plentiful selection of truly good Korean food. If you like kimchi, you need this and a ceramic crock and a bok choy cabbage. It makes excellent kimchi and doesn't cost an arm and a leg.

Think it translates Gimchi although Kimchi and Kimchee are common. Regardless, smells the same.

They changed the spelling of everything somewhere between 2001 when I left the first time, and 2009 when I went back for my second 5 year short tour. I was there a few times in between TDY, but don't remember if the spelling changes had taken effect yet.

Kunsan is now Gunsan, Pusan is now Busan...just a couple examples. Everything that used to be spelled with a K now starts with G, everything that used to start with P changed to B.
 
So you are saying that there's still hope in getting the spelling of Wednesday corrected?

It lasts for months in the fridge, after "cured". We have a whole fridge just for kimchi. I would go downstairs and take a picture, but I'm lazy.

My wife is originally Korean, brought her to the states over 20 years ago, been married over 25 years so far. It was pretty funny when we went back to Korea the first time after a vacation to South Dakota, my wife had an immigrant visa for the US when we left Korea, when we got back to Korea they told her she had to get in the foreigner line, "you're not Korean anymore".

Both my wife and I enjoy Korean food as well. Luckily Dallas has a large Korean population and you can find many authentic restaurants in the area. Our favorites are the Korean BBQ restaurants where you order what ever type of meat you like and grill it at your table. Really like the kimchee as well.

Another favorite are the Korean fired chicken restaurants...

I found this brand of Korean fried rice at my local grocery store. You can also find it at Korean grocery stores and Walmart...

It's really good. They also have other flavors and some spicy chicken, that's actually made with chicken, that you can bake. Also very good...

Korean Fried Rice with Shrimp - add a fried egg to top it off...

Did a tour of duty in South Korea. First week there I went outside the gate and ate at a little shanty restaurant. The old mamasan offered I try kegogi, ramon with a side of kimchi which I ordered and ate. Everything was delicious 😋. So I get back to the compound and go to the day room. Some guys lounging around asked where I had been. Told em I was in town having dinner. They asked what did you eat. I told them. They all hit the deck laughing saying son you just ate dog. I thought for a moment and replied. Well it was pretty fucking delicious. They just looked at me and shook their heads.
