A colleague of mine at work passed along a brochure announcing the Kwangju
Kimchi Festival 2000 in Kwangju, Korea.
It will be held from Wednesday, October 18 through Sunday, October 22.
The distance is a bit great for me to attend (unless I can wangle a
business trip), but I thought I would pass the information along for those
who might be in the area.
Red pepper was first put into Kimchi during the Chosun Dynasty (1392-1910),
according to the brochure. It made the dish more lively and "acted to
cover the pungent odor of the fish sauce used for fermentation."
