Just found out about pickled hotdogs. Sounds disgusting.

Man I'd love to have an entire drawer of different kimchis in my fridge.

Do young people make their own kimchi and store it in the drawer, or do most go buy it premade and stock the drawer?

We have some really good stores now in my part of the southeastern US where I can get pretty much any kimchi imaginable, which means I have stacks of round plastic containers in my fridge.

Complicated! Kimchi that goes into the drawer is gimjang kimchi. Anything else doesn't necessarily go into the drawer.

Gimjang kimchi making is very much a communal thing; often we make a year's worth of kimchi around November, with all the family members gathered round. It's almost ceremonial.

A lot of people still do it, including my family, but it's dying out as well.
