:smug:Many Koreans are proud of Kimchi, but my thoughts are somewhat different.

It's true that there are MANY lactobacillus, minerals, vitamins ,and edible fiber in Kimchi.

But Kimchi has high sodium content.

Someone even thinks Kimchi is responsible - at least partly - for high incidence of stomach cancer in Korean population.

Anyway, I believe Kimchi has more benefits than harm.

There is no garlic, onion and fish sauce in Buddhist temple Kimchi, so if you're vegetarian or garlic hater, try temple Kimchi.

In reasonable portions I agree. It has also been a reliable souce of vitamin C which is tough to get in Korea during the winter. More than the risk of gastric cancer is the danger of smoking and binge drinking here. I've never seen anything like it.

I persoanlly have to avoid limit my kimchi intake as I am allergic to shrimp, a common ingredient. If I can be 100% assured there is no shrimp paste in it, I can enjoy it. However, it is rare that a standard shop knows exactly what is in the kimchi or fully understands what it will be like to drag my 95kg body out after I flail my arms and legs like a crazy man then turn blue and die.

At the temples or when enjoying meals with Korean friends who make their own kimchi, it's go time! Especially if my friends have Korean beer.

I think we need a cultural food thread. :hyper:

You can order 100% vegan Kimchi - so essentially temple Kimchi - from here

2 types of vegan Kimchi

무오신채: No spicy ingredient - no garlic, onion etc.

오신채: With spicy ingredient


For smoking and binge drinking...

Yes I admit.

But I like occasional binge drinking ;)

KICK AZZ!!!! I never heard of the guy and did some snooping. I' love freakie folks and this guy is very refreshing. Korea is a great place but the sameness can be crushing. I love going to Seoul just to see a few folks not wearing shiny suits and b-boy haircuts.

Oh, and he's a snappy bassist too that likes Maiden. Nice! God, I cannot wait for Maiden to come in March.
