I slipped out of my hotel long enough today to take a trip to the Kimchi Museum in Seoul City. The museum traces the roots of Korea's favorite food, Kimchi, a spicy, fermented cabbage dish dating back more than 2,600 years. Some call Kimchi "refreshing" but, frankly, I had been hearing mixed reviews. In any case, a woman from our China office kept insisting that I give it a try. "You'll love it," she said as she passed me a heaping helping of the bright orange delicacy. I'll say one thing, it certainly tasted like it belonged in a Museum. That's the last time I take food advice from a woman whose idea of a business dinner includes Dog Meat, Bugs Soaked in Wine and Fried Scorpions on a Stick ...!

DARN! I was hoping that I was NOT the only one here who loves kimchi. Anyone else for yummy "refreshing" kimchi? --Cin
I've tried that. It was foul smelling old cabbage dropping from a supermarket floor with some spice. ~ Mary
Now, didn't I tell you what it was like? I stunk of that stuff for a week after I came back from Korea!
Gaz ;-)
It can't be any more freaky than Maori food.

Ewwwww, anything with the word fermented (except wine) should not be consumed, in any country!! I've heard that its "tasty", but no thanks!!
