Making the Kim Chi

Many people have sent emails regarding what we are eating what is
different.

Kim Chi. It is served at every meal and is disticntly Korean. Kim chi
is cabbage that has been lathered in spicy past put in a pottery jar
buried in the ground and fermented over the course of months.

People eat it straight up, put it on their rice to add some spicy
taste, or they put it in thier soups or broths to spice the drink up.

It's quite tasty. It has the same basic taste but varies a great deal.
Put it this way. The way Memphians talk and debate about the various
styles of about BBQ is the way Koreans talk about Kim Chi.

The photo is of an exhibit at agricultural museum in the city of
Gimje. It shows ancient Koreans making Kim Chi.
