Kimchi is one of the greatest foods on earth.
When done right. Most restaurants dont, and most stores dont either.

I remember being in Hawaii when I was 7 or 8 years old. My dad got a jar of it and I tried it. It was... ummm. . Strong I guess is the word. That's the only way I can describe it.

If you think of it as Asian sauerkraut, it's not all that weird. Can be very tasty.

Kimchi? Very rotten cabbage. The smell is horrible. However, lots of GIs who tried it in ROK came back home hooked on it.

If you're anywhere near Carrolton one of the largest asian markets in the US is near there. You should hit it up for some kimchi.
Get some pork floss too.

The first restaurant we went to(a Korean bbq place), he ordered a cheeseburger. A damn cheeseburger. Ma didn't know what he was talking about. He ended up hating the trip because Korea didn't cater to his American needs. He never bothered us again. Some of my best friends were Katusas. They were kind enough to have me in their homes, and showed me the real country. Nothing quite like sitting on the pier drinking soju, and eating fish that has just literally come off the boat. We even ate live octopus. My friend got suction cup marks on his face for his trouble. That and a giant octopus sprayed us like a garden hose from a great big bowl. The bowl was clearly marked with warnings in Hangul. There were a lot of laughs when we didn't understand. Moral of the story? Step out of your comfort zone and try some kimchi. Some is incredibly good. Some is merely very good. I personally know of no hangover cure that is more effective than a kimchi omelette with cheese and rice, and a giant poweraide.

Cosmos Kimchi is great and available all over the place. It's not homemade, but it's a great starter kimchi if you're just getting into it. I love kimchi, all of it. Go for it, OP.

The kimchee I buy doesn't have much American writing on it. (asian mkt) .
I also make my own. I'm not korean but I like the stuff and pork or beef bulgogi. I used to have a saying, " you can never put too much fish sauce in the kimchee". well you can, my last batch was a little to salty. I like the other "kimchees" too, the small accompanying side dishes with a meal , cucumber kimchee (red hot sauced), seasoned mung bean sprouts, and especially the daikon radish and carrot shredded and seasoned. |

asking if people have tried kimchi is like asking if people have tried bbq.
there are different types, based on different vegetables. check out this recipe by david chang, host of the mind of a chef pbs series, and of momofuku's restaurant, famous for trendy innovations on various foods... http://www.today.com/id/33482489/ns/today-today_food/t/momofukus-perfectly-prickly-cabbage-kimchi/ the recipe is for straight napa, but he actually adds what looks like the equivalent of 1-2 cups of cubed daikon (long white things are radishes). usually, kimchi is fermented 3 days at room temp, before being refrigerated, and detailed in this one http://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2011/02/quick-kimchi-recipe.html |

I tried it for the first time when I started dating my girlfriend. I had to pretend to like it for the first year or so. I've gradually grown to love it since then, especially the homemade green onion kimchi her mom is making this weekend
. I still prefer fresh kimchi over the really fermented stuff, though.

Kimchi rocks. Buy it at an Asian grocery store -- Korean -- if possible.
Just go real easy on it the first time or two you have some. like 1/4 cup. Goes great on hot dogs. |
