most kimchi nowadays eaten by koreans comes from off a vast and soulless factory line, just like every other product in a highly industrialized society. costco gets theirs from the good vast and soulless factory line with the nice factory ajjummas

no, kimchi gets wet or dry brined first, the rinsed, then put in the kimchi paste which turns into the kimchi liquid as osmosis does its thing. so if you tried that without brining preemptively the salt legels will get wrong

hansung kimchi is a malay brand created to profit off of hallyu causing malay peeps to eat korean food. it's the best halal kimchi but not close to the best overall kimchi brand. of course koreans are atheists or christian so it has no market share in korea itself

kimchi itself, the path to it not becoming halal would be if they add too much sugar and alcohol forms. hansung is tested to make sure that this isn't the case, the other kimchi manufacturers don't bother

oh yeah, the other thing that fucks over konjac places is that small children should not eat konjac, they can choke, because that poo poo does not melt in your mouth like gelatin. it's about the same death count as live octopus. so it can definitely kill you if you're 3

We get way too many kids for this, but maybe one year I’ll splurge.

We bought 2 big bags of chocolate candy and 2 bags of the not chocolate and it was almost 80 bucks. That generally gets me through the kids we get.

i did this once and the trouble is the kids figure out you're giving out the good stuff so more kids come, so you can't rely on estimates from previous years to calculate how many kids are coming. i estimated about double the usual and it was about right

but in turn western influence on the seoul accent (the prestige accent) has decreased that half aspiration quality to the point that if you listen to north korean broadcasts, which affect the old seoul accent for legitimacy reasons, they sound materially different from a modern seoul accent
