I saw that also japanese enjoy kimchi here is completely unknown..
for me is to spiecy....
Do you think is possible to scan my hand as you can read it?
let' s see who is the youngest and oldest of this forum
for the over 50 As wrotten I am 55 (nov. 1949) who is older than me?
and who is the youngest
I've been wondering about the same question of min. & max. age here. I remember one member was 12, maybe, and another was 61. They should be with us. Try going through the posts here and you should be able to locate them.
Kimchi? Oh, yes. I have some at every meal. The pickled vegetable is widespread all over asia, but kimchi with red pepper is unique to Korea. Japan has it's own pickles, one of the better known is UME, pickled apricots, very salty, and pickled ginger is also popular.
Kimchi has been gaining popularity in the past 10-20 years among Japanese. One Japanese customer visiting my company wanted to go kimchi shopping for his wife. I wonder how your Japanese customers carry it? One source says the cabbage originates from the mediterranean coast circa 1 CE. This could be very close to Roma or Jerusalem!
The spicy flavor is only one feature of Kimchi, and many find it soothing to the system.
Just needs a little getting used to. I've seen one American having one big bowl for lunch. That was extreme even in my eyes, but hey, it's a free country.
I've heard spaghetti noodles and Beijing black bean paste noodles are related, supposedly introduced by Marco Polo (<?>). There is an interesting continuum of this noodle "stretching" from Manchuria to West China; the western variety is called Xinjiang Lamien, using a lot of tomatoes, kinda resembling your red variety. Since red peppers and tomatoes come from South America after 1492, the spaghetti sauce and Kimchi probably weren't red in Marco Polo's time.
I don't know how all this "food talk" relates to this poll, but, hey, let's add some flavor to it! It can be pretty frightening talking about age!
As for the hand scanning, you could first photocopy your hand, and then scan it. Too much exposure might give you strange results. Is this for your work, or do you plan to use it in your profile? Or is it the Vulcan sign? I hope you're not asking me to read your palm! I'm a little lacking in that department.
