you have to get to a pretty deep cut in kimchiland for a korean grocer to not have it and for it to be worth making, especially a big box one

Unless you're good at making kimchi, anyway. I am not, so buying it is the better option.

I had a co-worker whose grandma made the best kimchi I've ever had. She gave me a kilo of it and I ate it in one day, couldn't stop. Unbelievable grandma magic.

really great kimchi is about timing, osmotic balance and sugar control

osmotic balance is not just salt, its all the particulates

you would think ph is involved but thats just an epiphenomenon of all the other poo poo going right

Yeah I did that, but instead of kimchi it was ice cream, and instead of a grandma, it was a supermarket

My first instinct is that this slapfight could be resolved with a Venn diagram, but then you'd just get them drawing bigger and bigger circles around the whole thing to claim all categories for their team.

Yeah, but one of the circles would be a dashed line.

This needs to be emphasized a third time. You cannot sub Western Chili or Cayenne, or Carolina Reaper flakes. It's not about the scoville units, it's flavour. Only Gochu flakes (imo) tastes anything close to kimchi. I had a friend who tried and failed to replicate kimchi without them, and all he accomplished was wasting cabbage.

Amazon is a rip-off, and any Korean grocer will have massive bags for 1/5th the price.



**I think most brands translate to "powder" rather than "flakes", but will also indicate coarse or fine...or the bag has a clear section to see through.**

From my experience every Korean brand of Gochu flakes/powder you're likely to encounter outside of Korea seems to be very similar flavor wise and will make good kimchi.

You can probably make a superior kimchi by substituting bland Asian annums with a flavorful new world cultivar. I can imagine certain chocolate chinense resulting in a superior taste.

anyway regarding china and twitter, If you didnt know uganda banned twitter and social media sites during their election.

I ve grown to hate social media and youtube, a few years ago when I was laid up in bed I could watch hour I mean hour long shows about the roman empire or universit lectures about historical topics nows it all just loving outrage trash, oh they remade a cartoon OUTRAGE, Oh trump did this OUTRAGE. are you a disney fan outrage etc etc etc.

one stupid outrage video about the trump and twitter stuff did bring up the arab spring and other things american social media companies had a hand in. which I found interesting.

Okay so back on point the CCP leaving twitter I think is a good thing.

If you can buy good stuff for a decent price, for sure.

Starting with version 30, Adobe stopped distributing Flash Player directly to users from mainland China. Instead, they selected 2144.cn as a partner and released a special variant of Flash Player on a specific website,[177] which contains a non-closable process that collects privacy information and pops up advertisement window contents.[178][179][180] The partnership started in about 2017, but in version 30, Adobe disabled the usage of vanilla (global) variant of Flash Player in mainland China,[181] forcing users to use that specific variant, which may pose a risk to its users due to China's Internet censorship.[182] This affects Google Chrome users using Windows 10, Internet Explorer users using Windows 7, and Firefox users using all versions of Windows, as Microsoft still directly distributes Flash Player for Internet Explorer and Microsoft Edge through Windows Update in Windows 8 and upward.

Imagine setting up your train schedule and pops up advertising like 90's internet. No wonder they pirated to get the international version.

So that's why they have those giant stacks of bags of that stuff. I thought it was peculiar that they had like multiple aisles full of it but I never thought it would be a kimchi component...

H-Mart and Lotte mart have better in my experience if you have them around. For us the kimchi connection is my sister in law's ajumma network and a local restaurant that sells packages of a lot of their side dishes including an excellent radish kimchi.

Costco has good teopokki, though, with the "Rapokki" bags. Throw in some fresh green onions, fish cake, and an egg and you're set.

The behavior of incaseformat isn't in line with what you would expect if that was the case. Typically the stuff that comes out of sino-scene hidden service BBSes is a lot more sophisticated, and it gets distributed far and wide. You don't poo poo where you eat, it isn't amateur hour anymore. This worm smells a lot like intelligence service probing to me.

If it did crawl out of a dark corner of the Chinese net, the person/people who made it are deterministically hosed, especially if it manages to cause economic damage to China's tech giants, which it's expected to.

“Working hard for rural revitalisation and common prosperity is the responsibility for our generation of businessmen.”
