Kind of like Asian people complaining about things being too bland. I liked Indian food the first week I had it, but by the 2nd week it all tasted the same. You can't taste the flavor of the original ingredients because its smothered in spices.

I'll take it you've never eaten Indian food, then.

I have never had the opportunity to try it.

I like about 70% of it. Some of the seafood ones, I am not brave enough for (I will eat candied dried crabs, fish, and shrimp all day long - but put them in KimChi and I start worrying about refrigeration).

I once had a classmate who's last name is Kimchi. He is Jewish.

 

[frank84]

[Dumac]

My Japanese girlfriend likes Kimchi a lot, but I've never had it

it looks too gross to me and it smells like sewer water. Maybe one day I'll try it.

Probably the most disgusting Korean food was something called ChungukChun. It's fermented soybean soup, but it smells like sh!t.

They have something similar in Japan and I gagged when I smelled that when I worked at a sushi joint.

A crew of Korean contractors had a pot luck of kinchi and sushi in my office one day. When I walked in at noon, the whole place smelled horrible, I almost gagged. They offered me some, so I tried it just to be polite.

That stuff rocked, ten minutes later I had lost all dignity and was shovelling it in with both hands.

LoL. I think it smells better than it tastes personally. To me it's ok. I like other Korean stuff more like Bi Bim Bop or Bulgogi..

bi bim bop is literally translated as "mixed rice". usually it has various veggies, a fried egg, sometimes some grilled meat, and a bit of hot pepper sauce served on top of rice.

i like that too. i'm korean myself, and i speak the korean language.

Tried that Bi-Bim-Bop on the Korean air many times. A little to blend for me. A Korean woman even showed me how to eat it.

WTF, I love how kimchi and doenjang chigae(I think this is the fermented soup you are talking about) smell. I guess you get used to it when you grow up on it.

 

[dds14u]

I love all types of kimchi and actually prefer it when it's sour and pungent.

I also love the smell...mmm

Perhaps this is an acquired taste.

Stinky Tofu or Bittermelon anyone?

I grew up eatting kimchi and denjang as well, but this was... different.

When I was younger, I hated cheese due to its smell, made me gag, but I eat cheese now.

Kim-chee is very sensual and sexual.

..:thumbsup: with lots of Tobasco.

the trick is to use a LOT of the pepper paste they give you or else it is very bland. i ordered it once but since i'm not a spicy food fan i was very cautious with how much i put in, and it did taste kinda bland but i still enjoyed it.

*raises hand*

I hate it fresh; nice and old kimchi hits the spot for me.

 

[Schadenfreude]

Fresh or old; It's good either way.

(Well, 'fresh' as fermented cabbage gets, I suppose)
