The South Koreans claimed they cured some chickens that had avian flu by feeding them kimchi juice, and now, kimchi sales around the D.C. area are increasing.

If you like cabbage and you can get past the smell, kimchi is worth trying.  I like kimchi, but I also like chitterlings, mountain oysters, scrapple, liver, chicken gizzards and hearts, blood pudding, squirrels, and turtle soup. Except for the kimchi, my grandmother would cook all of those dishes and make them taste good.  I can only think of one dish that she cooked that I didn’t really like – fried green tomatoes. The last time I ate kimchi was at a bar/restaurant outside Fort Meade in 1985.  Admittedly, except for liver, I haven’t eaten any of the other foods listed above in 20+ years either – a heart attack at age 20 tends to make one change eating habits.
