Does anyone else think kimchee is...?

Question

the food of the gods? I'm pregnant and have been craving bucket loads of the stuff. I've eaten it in large quantities every day for the past week. Not recommended, pregnant moms, because we all know what cabbage does, but alas, I cannot stop myself.

Answer 1

Kimchee is addictive.  Salty, spicy and sour. goes with almost everything.

BUT, my roommate dated a Korean lady, when she arrives our house, i can actually smell her, even she wears perfume trying to cover it... she smells like kimchee and i am not kidding!  So please consume with moderation :)

Answer 2

I think kimchee is a small furry animal thiat lives in a rain forest.

Answer 3

Answer 4

i adore kimchi! i don't get the fuss why people think it smells overpowering and nasty, or being too spicy. it's just the perfect combination of coldness and crunch with subtle spice. only thing i hate is the stains it leaves me with on my lap at korean restaurants haha :) and i know it's pleasing to the koreans to hear a white person ask 'can i have more kimchi please?'

Answer 5

I love Kimchee and have since I was in Korea 35 yearsa ago. We always have it in the fridge.

Answer 6

I was introduced to kimchee by an old girlfriend. I have loved it for the last 30 years. Go girl!

Answer 7

Sorry, but I think it stinks and tastes terrible!

Answer 8

I love  Kimchee. As a pregnant woman your body probably need a lot of extra vitamins. And Kimchee probably has those vitamins, Which would explain the craving. The only thing I would watch for is the salt. Kimchee can be high in salt. Although it may be the salt you are craving...Enjoy!
