All About Kimchi

From what I have learned as kim-chi is a delicacy and common side served in most Korean dishes, there are many ways that this type of pickled and fermented side of vegetables are prepared. I had thought there was only one way that kim-chi was served as my grandmother prepared it when she used to live with us. My family and I are Chinese-Vietnamese but they still enjoy eating kim-chi. I myself have had distaste for the stuff though I never tried it. The reason being was that kim-chi itself gives off a strong raw garlic type odor.

It's pretty sensitive on my sinuses. My experience with kim-chi has turned me off from ever wanting to try that stuff. In the past, my grandmother would make that stuff late at night. The strong smell would go up into the air vents and circulate around the house. It's not pleasant having to wake up to the strong smell of kim-chi. I myself wouldn't not try kim-chi, it doesn't mean you can't try it. Remember that a person's taste buds and comfort of scent is different than someone else's. My tastes might be different than your tastes. Not all tastes are created equal.

The history of kim-chi dates back to several thousand years ago as it's an important part of Korean history. Remember this, as martial arts styles are an important part of a country's history, the recipe for those cuisines are another major important part. There is a lot of history that can be told through a person's artwork. Cooking is a culinary art which means, it's an art. Korean cuisine is the Korean culinary art in short making it a perfected art from with thousands of years of rich history. Remember that recipes are sacred. These recipes are sacred as a recipe that had remained in your family for the longest time. As family recipes are sacred to your family, these recipes are sacred to the country of Korea.
