The only time I eat it cooked is in lasagna.

I wonder why it makes your throat close up? Besides the obvious.

DanaC · 04-10-2010, 07:15 AM

Numb lips and closing throat is a reaction I get to some fruit and vegetables. Usually it's only when they're raw. Melon, kiwi fruit and some kinds of lettuce are the worst culprits, but banana and apples sometimes have that effect as well. For some reason spinach gets me even when cooked. *shrugs*.

I still eat these things, but not very often. My throat doesn't close up entirely; but it's a very uncomfortable feeling when it starts.

The worst offenders used to be peanuts and egg. I don't eat peanuts now at all. Eggs don't seem to affect me the same as they used to, so I do eat them.

I remember cooked spinach from school... It always reminded me of a fresh cow shit with a nice piece of butter on top.

I still hate it.

Otherwise, I've never been ashamed of anything I eat.

Ewww, school lunch spinach.

I was one of those weird kids that liked the stuff. With butter. For different reasons than I liked fresh spinach like Mom made, wilted, salt, pepper, butter.

Probably liked it because I knew there were other canned vegetables out there that were just vomitrocious. Even today I turn away from canned beets.

Kimchi. Everyone I've ever introduced it to wanted to vomit, just from the smell...never mind the taste. But I LOVE the stuff!!!

I have tried dumbed down for white people kimchi, as well the premium stuff the Asian grocers only sell to Koreans. It's all vile. I have a natural aversion to eating anything that smells like garbage.

Cuz you introduced it to white people. See, that where your problem was.

Hehe....kidding around, in case anyone missed that.

By the way, kimchee doesn't smell like garbage. The smell is a bit strong, true. But calling someone's food trash a bit harsh, eh?

Urbane Guerrilla · 05-27-2010, 09:33 PM

Kimchi varies quite a bit, too. From lightly spiced cucumber slices all the way to ancient fermented garlic-and-peppered Oriental cabbage. It's just veggies protected from the mold. Korean winter weather does a lot of the rest. And the peasantry stays nourished until spring.

I'm hardcore enough to eat and thrive on about any variety of kimchi. Like anything else, it is best in its proper context. Don't put it on French toast, say, or vanilla ice cream. But with some nice bulgogi on the grill, or in a huge bowl of bibimbap, and Korean or Japanese beer, you've got some eatin' there, particularly on a cold blustery night, as I said earlier.

I love love love pickled cabbage kimchee, but also almost anything else pickled in general, asian or not. From sauerkraut to beets to cucumbers to daikon to eggs, pickled stuff just does it for me, go figure.

I do draw the line at pig's feet and pickled pork rinds, though. *shudder*

Perhaps the best introduction to kimchi is on a cold, blowy winter's day. Puts the fire within, helps you endure. Vitaminaceous too, mostly A.

GunMaster357 · 05-10-2010, 04:38 AM

As long as it doesn't get you into deep kimchee...

Couldn't stop myself.

Gravdigr · 05-12-2010, 04:28 PM

Vomitrocious? Vitaminaceous? You guys are making me feel a little, uh...umm...what's th---ooh, shiny!

Loves me some kimchi. But sometimes it doesn't love me back.

For that, I got Tums.
