Kimchi

Kimchi, Korea's best known food. It is known for being very nutritious with a unique taste. It is served at almost every meal and few people can go without it before they get cravings. Ever since I was a child, I have always watched my mom our kimchi. My mom's homemade kimchi is to me, the very best kimchi. Store bought kimchi and restaurant served kimchi will always be inferior. For me, I am one of those people who gets cravings for kimchi frequently, now that I am living in the dorms, I get huge cravings. Unfortunatley, kimchi does not smell very pleasant and bringing it to a dorm will most certainly bring complaints, especially from my roommates. Due to this, I look forward to going home just because I want my kimchi and rice.

As a kid, eating kimchi has made me love almost every kinds of food. Kimchi is the main reason why I have a very open diet. My love for kimchi has made me love almost all vegetables, there are very few vegetables that I do not like, a big reason is because there are over 100 varieties of kimchi. Kimchi can be made out of almost every vegetables and while I have obviously not eaten every variety of kimchi, I have still consumed an abundant amount in my life.

Online, there are many fan websites about kimchi with thousands of members. Either way, kimchi is slowly growing popularity in other countries besides Korea. While it is an acquired taste, those who start eating it will start loving it and will be rewarded from its many health benefits.
