Default KIm Chee

Maybe this can be like the tea connoisseur thread, but for Kim Chee.

It's fermented cabbage, with lots of garlic, the national dish of Korea. Many people not from Korea find it disgusting, and everyone finds it smelly even if they like it. This stuff can come out in your sweat and make you stink for days. The taste and smell can take getting used to.

My local grocery store got bought out and changed over to a Mexican grocery, and so almost anything but the most plain, bare bones food is gone. Other ethnic stuff, like Kim Chee, vanished, and every once in a while I get a craving that it becomes kind of a hassle to fulfill.

Does anyone know of a place you could mail order Kim Chee from, that they would personally recommend? I'm in the mood to stink up the place a little lately, and have been without my Kim Chee fix for too long.
