KIm Chee

[Blarg]

I live in the Valley, and it would easily take three hours between street traffic and freeway traffic just to get to the northern part of it. Plus, Koreatown in L.A. has surprisingly few Koreans in it. It's mostly Latinos now, even some Filipinos. But the Korean businesses are sparse, and I can't remember a Korean grocery there.

Heh. That's the kind I like -- the stuff you eat only on Fridays or Saturdays so you have the weekend to sweat it out.

Are you sure you were in Koreatown?

Also, Kim Chee is rad. I also like Kim Bap(sp?).

I work with a bunch of Koreans that have it with every meal. I don't think it really smells that bad. Also, I have been told there are over 100 different types of Kim Chee.

I lived in Koreatown for like 8 years.

i like it fresh. i hate it when its been fermented for a long time, too sour.

in hawaii we make kim chee hamburgers, kim chee fried rice and all sorts of other cooked dishes. the hamburgers rock. also mix in some crumbled up potato chips and you have the best home made burger.

OK, I know there are a lot of latin people there now, but I go everyonce in a while for K-BBQ and I see lots of Korean businesses.

Anyway, where in the valley do you live? In Glendale, off the 134 freeway at the Pacific exit, if you get out and head north, there is a Hangook Market on the left hand side. It's big, they'll have everything you need.

when i said boring, i meant that it tasted like cabbage with hot sauce. there wasn't any kind of embedding of flavors.

I hate Kim Chee. I've never had it though.

What I did have was a year in Korea where every meal the dog gone cooks would out the dog gone Kim Chee next to the jello. And every time the Kim Chee spill over would wind up in the Jello. So no jello for me for a year, not red w/ bananas, orange with pineapple, nothing. Screw Kim Chee [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]
