So it is rotten... Have you ever tried it? If so, what did you think? I've really been craving some cabbage lately. I like to make a soup with veggie broth, cabbage and mix in mashed potatoes to make it a creamy thick soup along with carrots and whatever else hits me.fraggle <EBbrewpunx wrote: kimchi.....fermented cabbage....

I didn't catch the whole thing but the person on the morning show said it was a definate aquired taste. I was wondering why that would be as I love both cabbage and ginger. I wonder if it was 'rotten' cabbage? They mentioned what it was called over there but my sounds like game (I don't hear very well) doesn't work very well for foreign languages.

Guest guest Posted December 9, 2005 Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 Kimchi sounds like it might not be my cupatea too. My uncle came back from Nam in the 70's with a new wife and 2 sons in tow. She didn't speak any english at that point and he didn't speak her language. Anyhow, after she arrived a while later we began to notice an awful odor in the garage. To make a short story short, we finally found some meat in there that she was 'preparing' to make for us. Before that everyone was raving about her cooking, after that, they felt a little bit differently about it. :)fraggle <EBbrewpunx wrote: ummm kimchi is DEFINATELY an aquired taste... i can eat it..not something i'm overly excited about tho... be wary..many kimchi dishes may have shrimp added, or fish sauce... fraggle Jonnie Hellens Dec 6, 2005 1:45 PM Re: Re: Dining out-rant Yeah, that's what it sounded like.
