Mama Kimchi that is
My gastrointestinal metagenome loves ya mama
Kimchi is a bit like sauerkraut on steroids
Oh---and if you are wondering how long it takes to eat 8 lbs of kimchi----it doesn't matter. It's already "spoiled"---it's like fine wine, it gets better with age

I wonder what a kimchi Reuben would taste like?

Never thought of that----but I just found a corned beef brisket in the freezer this morning----I'm feeling a trial coming on

My first experience with Kimchi was at a Walgreens store in San Jose. An older Philipino lady gave me a mason jar of it she had made. It took me a few discussions with her to understand what it was. But, I did enjoy eating it.

This brings all sorts of questions. Why would a Filipino lady offer you a jar of Kimchi at a drug store? Why would you accept a jar of rotten cabbage from a Filipino lady at a drug store? Why would you eat some unknown rotten substance given to you by an unknown Filipino woman at a drug store? The list goes on..............Originally Posted by UTAH

Mike, I take exception to your characterization of kimchi as "rotten"---it is NOT rotten sir, it is fermented-----as is beer, fine wine, whiskey (including Rye) and many cheeses and endless other fermented foods.
I will concede that to the uninitiated nose it could seem that way

Same thing, Dave:Mike, I take exception to your characterization of kimchi as "rotten"---it is NOT rotten sir, it is fermented-----as is beer, fine wine, many cheeses and endless other fermented foods.

Difference Between Fermentation and RottingBoth terms refer to the same realm of biological processes, in which microorganisms transform food. Interestingly, unlike most cooking procedures, the transformations happen whether or not we initiate them. Unless foodstuffs are specially preserved, bacteria, molds, and yeasts will spontaneously seize the opportunity to digest their sugars, fats, and proteins, creating a wild array of new compounds. When we like the results of the transformation, we call it fermentation; when we don’t, we call it rotting.

I prefer to use the term fermentation---it is far more "civil" than the alternative.
Next time you have pizza or sour dough bread just think of it as rotted----nah---not a good idea

I agree, however, in the context where I used it, I think "rotten" was appropriate considering being handed a jar of some unknown naturally processed substance by an unknown person.

I'm just funnin you---I eat rotten chit all the time
Added in edit: My dear friend who is into fermentation as much as I am prefers to call it "controlled spoilage"
She makes a lot of good chit via "controlled spoilage"---including what I regard as the best sauerkraut anywhere

Ahhh... I see where we're headed.
