I Think I'd Rather be Sick

Katie Allison Granju posts that kimchee may prevent or treat Avian Flu.

Having been to Korea where kimchee is as ubiquitous as a cheeseburger is here, I'm telling you right now that I'd rather get the flue and take my chances.

That stuff reeks like you wouldn't believe! Take old, sweaty gym socks that were worn for an entire football season and put them in a baggie with concentrated skunk oil. Add brewers yeast and allow to set up for about a month. Pour off the liquid and reserve the gloopy, cheesy mess and put into a blender. Now add 2 dozen rotten eggs and turn the blender on high without putting on the top. Allow the contents to spew all over the room. Now, shut off all ventilation to the room, add six months worth of kitchen garbage and turn the thermostat up to 98 degrees for 4 days.

The smell you get when you open the door is sweet perfume compared to the breath of a kimchee eater. I'm not surprised that it kills the virus, but this is certainly a case of the cure being worse than the disease.
