Kimchi

The smartest, funniest, rarest girls at orientation



Spotlight on Kimchi!- Korea's secret natural resource and underrated superfood. Kimchi is known to be an antioxidant, an effective intestinal cleanser and eating it strengthens resistence against illness. The vegetable fiber in Kimchi helps to prevent and treat diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, obeisity and even cancer.

Billions of years ago Koreas main industry was agriculture, and cabbage grew easily from coast to coast. Naturally, most Korean people love vegetables and making Kimchi was a great way to preserve them to be enjoyed during winter months. The origin of this fermented specialty dates back to the 7th century when women simply pickled the vegetables using preserving salts. Along with Garlic and Ginger, today Red Pepper is a main protagonist in the tasteful epic of Kimchi. Around the 18th century Mr. Kimchi married Ms. Red Pepper and they have been inseperable ever since! The Capsisin in the Red Pepper stimulates the stomach and aids with digestion while the Ginger helps blood circulation. The Garlic in the Kimchi not only gives you a reason to brush your teeth for awhile, it strengthens energy and activates physiological function by asborbing vitamin B1.

Whether you love it or not, the history is rich and it is rude to ignore Kimchi at the dinner table.
Honour Korean culture and cuisine and eat the spicy Kimchi!


Seasoning (a poem)

The rainy season speaks it’s mind,
Clouds multiply, bigger puddles I find.
Endless umbrellas cover noses and teeth,
Prepubescence is spinning beneath.


Friends with Samsung, Kim, Kwack and Lee,
living slowly to avoid entropy.
High rise, nice ties, tops of trees,
High heels, good deals, yellow cheese.
Layers of language hold my breath,
eat fish for breakfast until death.


If at first it is not for you,
another attempt you must pursue.
Healthy, spicy, bitter and sour,
To your life, Kimchi adds an extra hour.
