True story... Did a 2 week deployment to Korea and I took to the place like a duck to water. Great people, great food.

Deployment commander ORDERED me to lay off the kimchee 3 days before our flight back.

Love the stuff. Great for keeping the system clean.

I did a 13 month tour and never tasted kimchi. As bad as it smelled, I wouldn’t eat it.

A Korean guy was in a class with me in grad school and during the first semester his wife had not arrived and he had to eat American dorm food. She arrived between semesters (apparently with a 55 gallon barrel of the good stuff in tow) and when he walked into class there were nearly visible garlic fumes coming off his clothes.

I love the stuff myself but unless both you and your significant other and colleagues are too, the radiant aroma can be a little overpowering. My wife hates that I keep a big jar of Kimchee in the fridge but there are no decent Korean restaurants in our area and every once in awhile I need my fix.

Good evening guy.

A jar of kimchee and a six pack of beer, and I'm a danger to the environment.

The First lady has threatened me with calling the EPA.
