No, you and Bill go on without me.
I had an opportunity to do "Toilets of the Andes" only I couldn't find any to photograph.
If you see what I mean.

um. so. yeah. I've got an ad I tore out of a magazine that gets worse than these "chihuahua" references. It's for this really high-class restaurant serving canine -- looks something like the jack russell terrier BP was talking about... Pretty nasty... I'll post that one too

Yey-bo sey-yo Beth! (sorry, I can't spell phoenetic Korean!) I really enjoy Korean food. Love that kimchee! Welcome back.
I've got a pic for you from the Open House -- LMK where to send it.

Hey Janice,
Kimchee is pretty good - spicy, but good. The Koreans say that it was kimchee that prevented all the Koreans living in Hong Kong and Singapore from getting SARS. Korean BBQ ROCKS! I need to open up a Korean BBQ restaurant here in the desert.... hahaha, as if they don't have enough restaurants here.
I've got a pretty nasty ad that I ripped out of a magazine on China Eastern Airlines. Rover on a plate... nicely basted with a bow around its neck. Yum.

You know they bury that kemchee in pots under the ground and let it rot.. errr.. 'ferment'.. right?
My uncle worked as a civilian for the US military during the Vietnam war. He spent a lot of time with some Korean Tiger unit in Cambodia and 'Nam. He told me all about the making (and the scent) of kemchee.
Interesting guy.. he also spent a lot of time at some atoll writing computer software to calculate the curvature of the earth. This would later be used to 'guide' our guided missiles. They were working on the so-called 'Star Wars' program even then.. in the 1960's.

Yeah, that stuff kinda stinks... my breath wasn't too fresh after mauling a few pieces of it.

I didn't say that... just curved. Then again, maybe there was a glitch in the code.

Yes, I love it. (I've heard how they make it too... but that doesn't deter me.) Hey, if they don't have a Korean BBQ place there, you'd fill the nitch.

They rarely make it that way anymore. That was before refrigeration was widely available. It was kept in the ground because the ground was much cooler, which was an ingenious way of keeping food cool.
Long time ago, in the north USA, after the fall harvest of apples, they used to put the apples in wooden barrels and sink them in cold rivers or creeks to have apples available through winter and spring. That's where we get the game Bobbing for Apples.
Back to kimchee...
Currently, kimchee is made & kept in plastic or glass containers, somewhat similar to how kosher pickles are made.
I'd consider them to "rot" as much as American pickles or sauerkrauts or beer to "rot" during their fermentation process. I don't think anyone here would call a nice kosher pickle rotten food...or beer either...
Pizza Hut in Korea has Korean BBQ pizza...

Check out some kickboxing while you're there. A good friend of mine spent time in Thailand when he was in the Marines. He highly recommends the kickboxing (I forget the actual name of the sport.)

No worries dude. Didn't think you were serious about the "rot" part. Just didn't want people who didn't know much about it to be mis-informed...
Also thought people would find it interesting how different cultures around the world share the same food preserving techniques without ever having been exposed to each other. Could there be such a thing as collective consciousness?
When I'm not playing my EVH, I'm cooking and studying food... So this was the perfect forum post to chime in on and sound smart for a change... I don't get too many opportunities to combine guitar and ethnic food.

SSC,
Well if you're into food, you could chime in on lots of Big Poppa's threads! He loves to cook.
I like to cook when I have time (not so much when I'm in a hurry, like right after work). I know how to cook Chinese dishes more than anything else, as my best friend's family owned a Chinese restaurant, and I learned a lot from them there and at their home.
Yeah, it's amazing how similar techniques develop independent of one another. Not just for food preservation, but in countless areas. Definitely a "collective" wisdom out there somewhere.
Now that you've jumped in, keep posting! We blabbermouths get tired of reading our own stuff all the time...

Re: cultures around the world - what you might be alluding to is known as the 'collective unconscious' that Carl Jung is famous for bringing to light. -- I believe that to be true. Too many "coincidences" to not be.
On the other hand, through trial and error, people probably discovered that just a few feet below the surface, the Earth's temp is pretty constant which allows people to escape the heat of summer or to store foods for long periods of time without decay (a.k.a. refrigerate) and also to be warmer in winter when there was snow and ice with below freezing temps at the surface.
