A Kimchi Crisis!!

Reporting from Seoul — Freakish fall weather has resulted in a national kimchi crisis, causing South Korean consumers to clutch at their purses, hearts and stomachs as they seek to deal with a shortage of the oblong-shaped cabbage used to make the ubiquitous spicy dish.

With heavy September rains ruining much of the Napa, or Chinese, cabbage crop, prices have jumped fourfold to more than $10 a head....

Arrghhh! Those poor guys! I actually think there is something highly addictive in Kimchi, once you start eating the stuff you can't stop.
I also love fresh Chinese cabbage, it's not smelly like the European variety and stays much fresher in the fridge, stir fry with a dollop of your favorite Asian sauce - very easy and yummy. And our local stuff is much cheaper at about $2 per kilo.

I go through cycles where I can't get enough and put it on everything, to hardly touching it for months

Kimchi is great with eggs and bacon. Actually, it's pretty good with most things.

Except haggis.

Ah, an opportunity! Exporting kimchi to Korea! Our supermarkets are crammed with the stuff, in all degrees of hot.

I've never eaten it with eggs and bacon, sounds good.
