I can swear that in my misspent youth I used to play a game for the original Nintendo Entertainment Syestem called Pro Wrestling (or something like that), and in the game was a wrestler named 'Kimchee'.

I swear. Anybody else 'member this?

I don't know about that but the manager for the Ugandan Giant Kamala (NWA, WWF, AWA, et al) was a white guy in a mask (one of very few masked wrestling managers btw) who claimed to be a missionary and his name was Kimchee. The funny thing is Kimchee never talked and it was usually Gary Hart, The Grand Wizard, or Freddie Blassie who did all the talking.

I gave it up-got tired of it. After awhile I get tired of any food that I constantly eat. I feel Koreans also tire of it but just keep serving it because it's the proper thing to do. Many Koreans like to just have it at hand but never touch it, they might nibble on a piece once a week or so. It seems like more "Gimchee" is thrown away than eaten, but of course that's not true. You'll read stories about Kimchee exports rising and how popular the food is becoming in other parts of the world, but in Korea it seems to be dying out. Oh, they make it! They store it! Hell, the average Korean house has at least a month of Kimchee stored away. But it seems it's not eaten as much as it once was.
It's a big problem, Kimchee, it ends up causing a lot of trouble.

I only like the standard kimchee. I especially don't like the radish one although I usually love rdishes.

I eat a lot of kimchi. I love the taste and only wish I could take more ofthe spicy-ness.

I like Kimchi, as I have said in one of my earlier posts, but I found this picture on the net, and I am not sure what to think about it.

That looks delicious. Is it real? No joke - I always drink the remaining juice when finishing of a container of kimchi. Or I dip whatever I'm eating in it. It tastes like really strong V-8 juice to me at this point...

Kimchi is particularly good with sam gyeop sal, bacon. There is a restaurant recently opened in Seolleung that is a bacon and kimchi restaurant. That's all you get. A HUGE plate of kimchi and a plate of bacon. Cook them together, wrap them in a little lettuce leaf with some sesamee oil and you are away. A veritable explosion of flavour in your mouth. Mmmmmm.

The english on their boards however leaves something to be desired, but it does say that kimchi has been proved to help bowel movements. That made me smile.

I also hated it when I first came to Korea. But now I'm making a Kimchee Jigge every week or so. The great thing about Kimchee Jigge is that you can make a pot of the stuff and it lasts for about 3-4 days. Oh, the bachelor's life!
