"I could see why he did it. I have to get my kimchi fix with every meal or I'm not completely satiated."
-A Korean businessman comments of the arrest of a man in Gangwon province for stealing cabbage-kimchi's main ingredient-from a field. Bad weather has damaged this year's cabbage crop, and heads of the napa variety are now selling for up to $14 at markets. "I don't know how long I can keep ignoring my grandkids' and my husband's demands for kimchi every meal," said Kim Hyung-sook, who lives in northern Seoul. "You're not Korean if you don't eat kimchi three times a day."

"You're not Korean if you don't eat kimchi three times a day."
Which makes all North Koreans into Armenians?
No, they're all Hungary.
Mocking hungry people, Pete? Have you no Seoul?
He's Inchon his way down there.
Wonju please stop it?
It was not his Kim-Lukee day.
A) Any word on whether this will affect our kimchi market? B) Does kimchi freeze tolerably?
A) No, they're pretty picky about the source of their cabbage. B) Probably, but unnecessary. The kimchi they put up for the winter gets stored in special pickle refrigerators that aren't as cold as regular ones (they are the things advertised in Korean media that look like deep-freezes).
If Mr. Cho is coordinating an Awl Kimchi Airlift, I'd be interested in participating.
Anybody else notice that there's not actually a link here? I'm thinking Balk made this whole thing up.
