I make kimchee all the time myself! :) The homemade kimchee is so much better than store bought.
I’ve never had kimchee. Is that something I might like at first try, or is it an acquired taste? I know that is a relative thing, but...
I have had a couple of Korean dishes that were authentic(as in brought here by Koreans from the homeland) but kimchee was not on the menu that night.
I am not aware of an asian market anywhere around here, so I would have a long drive into that Megatroplis south of here.
