South Korean Hacks Set to Ruin Kimchi-Ness
Reese Deveaux leaves me out of his estimate of kimchi intake per year. I'm not a ROK citizen, and I eat at least 10 to 15 kilos of homemade kimchi a year. The government might want some ridiculous scale to measure "kimchi-ness", but the sweat test suits me fine. But then, no kimchi from a store or restaurant compares to my mother-in-law's, especially Gyeongsang kimchi which is generally sweeter than kimchis from other regions. And, if my wife makes kimchi, no one in the family can endure the fiery onslaught. But, this scale nonsense comes from the same college grads who concocted this bullshit:
“The power of kimchi is the power of peaceful, prosperous people who smile while working, instead of laughing at work. Because theirs is an ancient wisdom, Koreans have had an immense opportunity to note what is sound and what is likely to be of enduring value,” according to the AsiaInfo website.
I won't even bother linking to that crap. But, I'll share my kimchi.
(The rest of the article is informative, so read it for what ROK college grads didn't write.)
