The last time I bought kimchee was in Santa Clara at Kyo-Po. They make
homemade kimchee in LARGE jars. It's the best I ever had and I always
buy 3-4 jars. I can finish all 4 jars in 2 weeks. As far as it
expiring, I will never reach that point. :-)

The thing about kimchee is the smell it leaves in the kitchen and in
my breath. All that spice can turn guests off. So what I do is I keep
the jars in double plastic bags and tightly close them.

If I don't find a Korean market soon, I might have to make a drive to
Santa Clara...and this time I will stock up!

Would you believe I eat this as a snack?

I've seen someone who does it, but no koreans I've ever known will eat
kimchee by itself. It's always accompanied by rice or some other non-spicy
stuff to cool down the spicy/sour flavor of kimchee.

I guess you really like hot stuff.....


I eat it as a snack as well. The best commercial brand is
Melissas (the exotic fruit/veggie people). I've been known to eat
3/4 jar of that stuff in one sitting.

How long does a jar last in the fridge? I bought a jar from a Korean
store and thought it started to taste funny after a month or two.
