A Korean friend came back from visiting her family in her homeland and
brought me a stone jar of homemade kim-chee.
I have tasted some pretty spicy versions of this cabbage pickle in the
past, but nothing to compare with this batch.
My friend does not know what kind of chiles her uncle put into the mix,
but whatever it is, it is potent.
I broke the seal and pulled the lid off and my eye started watering and
I even had trouble breathing I felt a burn at the back of my throat and
I hadn't even sniffed at it.
I allowed it to "breathe" for a while and dished up some to have with my
dinner.
The flavor is wonderful but the heat is tremendous.  I can handled a lot
of heat, but this is near my tolerance level.  I think it is close to
rivaling "The Bread" in intensity.
Has anyone else had much experience with kim-chee like this?
