I didn't know what Kimchi was so I looked it up and damn I am now craving Korean BBQ. Too bad the price will be high now though.

Too much of any thing is bad for your body. The key is to have a balanced diet and I would say having Kim Chi as a staple is lot more healthy than some other alternatives.

Well, I heard from some nutrition specialists that alot of koreans have health problems because they have so much salty kim chi every day, and i guess this is technically good health wise? But it really sucks that their cultural staple food is getting so expensive! Like if China or india rice prices went up. They would be devastated.

I think alot of the salt in there diet comes from ramen too. That garbage is salty and fatty but they eat it like crazy.


Not all koreans eat that much Ramen, but they still suffer horribly from the effects of kimchi :-p. Think about it, its extremely salty and spicy. Sure it clears your system out from the garlic and what not, but it also skyrockets your blood pressure and causes things like ulcers. Still, i don't forsee Koreans ever stop eating kimchi lol.

Probably because of the peppers that are available in North America. They have a little more kick to them.

Oh, the reason why overloading with kimchi is hazardous is because you're basically eating rotten food (fermentation). Anytime you eat fermented foods like kimchi, you are suspect to stomach cancer (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15929164).

The opposition Democratic Party also has laid blame for the shortages on a large river-reclamation project, saying it destroyed farmland that would have been used for cabbages and other vegetables, a charge the government has denied.

This is how 2012 happens guys. First the kimchi stocks in Korea bottoms out, France refuses to sell them cabbage, England gets pissed off and America is poor. We're living the end of the world :0

Ever since I heard about the grand canal project from the very beginning, I hoped and hoped it wouldn't be realized. I've been out of the loop for a long time now, and to see that he really went through with the plan... is just WTF

Heres a crazy idea, how about, instead of eating kimchi everyday, you dont? try to branch out and eat other foods, crazy huh.

I have just two words for ya: korean pride. Kimchi is the national dish, rightfully so, and there's no way they're going to let go of that. But you're right. Now's a good time to try other dishes.

Dammit. My precious Kimchi! Poor Koreans. A part of the soul was just ripped from them. Now they'll all be at least a little empty inside. Literally.
Life! Enjoy it.

This largely depends on where you ate and your personal preferences...

Christie has a few good restaurants, but I like Korean food in Korea over North America.

Korean food here is expensive, rather attempt to make my own or just eat whatever Korean friends have in their fridge. :D I usually go to the market in Ktown to pick up some food stuffs but the BBQ restaurants there charges like $25 for one plate of beef and the regular restaurants a few dishes go almost to $100.

This is in NYC, Ktown @ Herald Square. Never been to a Korean restaurant in Flushing yet...
