I just hate it.
Oddly enough, I don't mind most of its ingredients separately, but combined all together they all just taste awful. This is coming from someone who has eaten escargot and octopi from a fairly young age, so it's not like I was never exposed to exotic foods. It's not like spice is the issue either it's not overly spicy

The plural of octopus is not octopi

Korean food in general is fucking overrated. Literally every other country around Korea makes better food. Only decent think they have is BBQ and their chicken wings (which is their take on Buffalo wings).

I eat a jar a week, by itself, the spicy kind, because reading Moyashimon made me want to eat fermented foods and it's all that's readily available near me. I'm OK with my current situation but what else can I do with it? Nothing serious, just fun and quick.

If you hate regular kimchi, try kkakdugi (cubed radish kimchi), altari (whole baby radish kimchi), and baekkimchi (white cabbage kimchi without chili powder). I don't like regular cabbage kimchi, but those three are delicious.

Try making some hot rice with an egg cracked and mixed in, some bonito heavy rice seasoning and kimchi mixed in once the egg cooks. Add some sweet salty meat like brown sugar sausage or maplewood bacon.

Kimchi is meant to be eaten within another dish usually with rice.

I'm a white American dude, and this is one of my favorite flavors. But it always, without fail, makes my asshole explode.

I have all those things, but I ain't OP. My girlfriend lived with koreans for a while and keeps us stocked up like she's still living in Seattle. Maybe I'll give it a try since I've got some eggs from the local university farm. Is it true that fermented foods contribute to stomach cancer?

Hot kimchi ain't that spicy. I'm pasty as hell but I love those double spice korean chicken ramen packets. Kimchi just doesn't have a great flavor. Pickling vinegar and red pepper don't make a compelling combo to me.

technically everything we eat causes cancer, so I guess that moderation is key.

What's more lame is Korea won't even admit to it.

>The researchers, all South Korean, report that kimchi and other spicy and fermented foods could be linked to the most common cancer among Koreans. Rates of gastric cancer among Koreans and Japanese are 10 times higher than in the United States.

>"We found that if you were a very, very heavy eater of kimchi, you had a 50% higher risk of getting stomach cancer," said Kim Heon of the department of preventive medicine at Chungbuk National University and one of the authors. "It is not that kimchi is not a healthy food -- it is a healthy food, but in excessive quantities there are risk factors."

>Kim said he tried to publicize the study but a friend who is a science reporter, told him, "This will never be published in Korea."

A lot of koreans eat kimchi but some of them took their own kool aid and think kimchi will save their souls, just like all the people overseas that buy it up. So they literally eat kimchi and rice all the time. Well guess what not only does the kimchi give you IBS, now all that white rice gave you diabetes too. So youre double fucked.

Literally no escape from illnesses.

Just eat what you want I say. Personally my favorite korean food is that bean soup with grilled fish on the side.

There's no vinegar in kimchi.

Oh wow, lactic acid tastes like vinegar. Big surprise. If you don't like that taste, which largely makes up the flavor of pickled food, then you won't like kimchi.

Actually, since the word is not authentically classical Italian or Greek, being a modern construction, the natural plural is 'octopuses'. The wholly-incorrectly derived plural 'octopi' is also considered correct in both English and American English. The correctly derived plural from classical Greek would be 'octopodes' but this is not considered acceptable in either English or American English.

Thank you. I consider myself fairly adventurous and open-minded with food and I’ve never been able to wrap my head around kimchi. It’s just not good.

Holy shit. Now I feel validated.

[Anonymous No.12247978]

>>12247839
There's a contradiction just in the sentences you quoted. Kimchi consumption doesn't explain why Japanese gastric cancer rate is as high as South Korea's. The accepted existing explanation from epidemiologists is a combination of shared generic factors and widespread H. pylori infection in both countries.
