Fermented cabbage soup

The koreans are an interesting bunch.

The national dish stroke obsession here is called "Kim Chi".
An interesting concoction of cabbage, spices, chilli, radish and who-know's-what-else.
Left in a pot underground.
To rot.

Over the years I have surprised even my own delicate and moribund english constitution with an ability to aquire an affinity for "interesting" foreign delicassies.
Kim Chi soup being one of the foremost.

One of the korean guys that I work with here shared an amusing anecdote with me last night invloving his newly aquired house in the states, a pot of fermented bean soup, worried neighbours and the bomb-detection squad.
Only on a korean menu, I tells you.
