I don't know about specific store brands (since we mostly eat only MIL's version) but if we're talking baechu kimchi, I only like the really fresh kind, where it's still relatively white, crisp and tangy and doesn't have that old fish smell orangeyness to it.

Wal*Mart Kimchi fits that description.
I recommend it. Seriously. Laughing

I like radish kimchi, or kimchi that's fried in the grease from ����.

I find any kimchi I've had that's made its way up from Kwangju has been the knees of the bees'... Lots of flavour and red stuff, but relatively little fishy/shrimpy taste... semi-crispy, too.

That said, the kimchi at that samgyupsal place across from the old Hodgepodge just OWNS... Anyone concur?

ponytail (radish) kimchi or chongak kimchi. I also like kakdugi (cubed radish kimchi).

I agree with zyzyfer too. Fry it up in grease. Yum! The older the better.

E-Mart has pretty good kimchi, but it's so much better if you can find someone who makes it. It's so pricey!

My wife's is the best bar none. Fresh as it comes with lots of ginger and garlic.

Except that, I always liked HomePlus kimchi.

Bo-Sum Kimchi. It has various seafood, meats, and nuts wrapped in a cabbage leaf.

Any kimchi that doesn't taste like perfume is good for me. In fact, I even find myself taking seconds of the perfume-tasting stuff, too.

I'm an addict.

I would like to create psychedelic kimchi. If there is any food that should induce hallucinations, it's the 'chi.
