NationStates Jolt Archive

Some of you who have been on NSG a while may remember a poster called Deep Kimchi. Apparently the South Koreans are planning to send the dish he was named after into space.

What other national dishes should we be blasting into space?

Not really a national dish. Do national fruits count?

Blast them aliens out of the sky with this!

What other national dishes should we be blasting into space?Sauerkraut. That way we may finally be rid of it.

Mr Ko is scheduled to take-off on a Russian-made Soyuz rocket on 8 April with two Russians.

It is not clear whether he intends to share his special foods with his fellow astronauts on the space station.
They'd only try it if he doused it in vodka first.

Sauerkraut. That way we may finally be rid of it.

I love you.

I can't help feeling that if there are aliens out there, this might well be interpreted as a hostile act.

LOL!

He's not making many friends on the ISS. Not with kimchi, that is.

By the way, deep kimchi is not a euphemism for fermented cabbage. More of a post-digestive product... Although it is hard to tell the difference.

Brussel sprouts can GTFO, basically.

I realise that I'm not gastronomically adventurous but that stuff as described sounds utterly vile........

Perhaps the thread should really be about what food would you take to the international space station that would make you really unpopular. The durian and brussel sprouts already mentioned would fit.

Ah yes, German kimchi. :D

mmm I love kimchi.

Vile doesn't even begin to cover it. A family friend adopted a couple of kids from Korea, and to celebrate their US citizenship, he made kimchee. in his backyard. I was avoiding it like the plague based on scent alone, but another friend decided that shoving a forkful in my mouth would convince me to eat it. I nearly threw up on the spot. Nasty, nasty stuff. Blech.

I really like kimchi too. It's good. Spicy, crunchy. The problem that most of us Americans have with it is that it doesn't smell as good as it tastes. We really have a hang-up with that kind of thing here. I think it's our meat-centric food culture.

Du bist verrückt!

Glad they're not sending Deep Kimchi into space. Centuries down the road the planet would be invaded by pissed-off aliens who converted to Islam.

And is sending kimchi into space a really good idea? Has anyone watched the remake of The Blob?

Whatever happened to DK anyway?

Some Korean ate him?


I don't think he has ever left us. Probably either a puppet account of someone else or has created new accounts to deflect liberal criticism.

I'd send them nasty cardboard with sherbert flying saucer thingies to give the aliens a laugh.

one wonders what would happen to an enclosed air system like the ISS when the post-digestive by-product of Kimchee is introduced...

I mean, it's not like they could open a window or something...

One thinks that perhaps they would try, regardless of the effect.

Sorry y'all, but I love me some cabbagy goodness. Bring on the kimchi and the 'kraut!

Looks like a hedgehog with yellow insides.

How about this particular disgrace?

NATTO! (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natto) (Wait, I'd not even wish natto on ebil space invaders...)

Correct on the first point, dead wrong on the second. ;)

Good stuff actually.

Whatever happened to DK anyway?

AFAIK, he went through a few more incarnations before wandering off into the great unknown.

I think it's really a secret plot by the ROKs to get revenge for Stalin's having screwed up their country...

It is the preferred fruit of the enemy. It has a distinctive smell

This is the durian fruit, the preferred weapon of your enemy; and it has a "distinctive" odor when eaten near you, so remember it. ;)

The hard outer husk is covered with sharp, prickly thorns, while the edible flesh within emits a distinctive odour, which is regarded as either fragrant or overpowering and offensive. Even when the husk of the fruit is still intact, the odour of the ripe fruit is very strong and penetrating. This unusual odour has prompted many people to formulate evocative descriptions, with views ranging from those of deep appreciation to intense disgust.

Flan!

Another excellent point! Plus, kimchee reeks. It reeks more than sauerkraut, which I would never have believed had I not actually smelled it. Yech.

Sauerkraut. That way we may finally be rid of it.

But I likes it. Send yours to me!

Flan!

SACRILEGE!!!! Gimme all yours, too!

Send them aliens a nice juicy steak.

There isn't any chance that DK wouldn't, perhaps, be the landing target for this space craft, is there?

I LOVE that stuff! Seriously, its the best meal on a solids empty but beer filled stomach. Wonderful stuff.

Have you tasted it?

Unfortunately, I've not yet had the chance. Thus all posts re durian are in playful jest.
