Kimchee Love. {KOREA}
Dear Kimchee: You are laid out in front of me on a small plate and I pick you up with silver chopsticks. You burn my mouth with your heat and you remind me of places I have never been. After eating a few pieces of you, I now want you before every meal. You have replaced my bowl of peanuts; you have become my new version of chips and salsa. You are simple; you are fermented; you are ancient. I overlook the radishes and the seaweed soup because you are all I see. You are a perfect accompaniment with Kalbi, Kimbab and Shabu-Shabu, but I also like you standing alone, spicy and proud, at home in your little white dish. Kimchee, I miss you and now that I have tasted you, my palate will never be the same.
This is positively gorgeous. It’s so pretty; I wish I could eat Korean food everyday.
yum. you’ve got me daydreamin of some bulgogi right now……….
you’re killing me here…wonderful imagery both visual and written.
Kimbob, ba ba doo wop, diddy ba ba, kimbob, ba ba doooo wop, yeah-e-yeahhh.
That surely looks very tasty. I want to try Korean food right now.
I was wondering how long it would take before you had a Kimchee love affair while in Korea ❤
Lovely post! I have reblogged it to my tumblr blog (with photo, link and the start of your post) which is just about kimchi – I hope this is ok w/ you, if not I will certainly take it down. http://www.tumblr.com/blog/fuckyeahkimchee
