Fermenting and Pickling

[Mary Stetler]

Well, at least you tried. I find a lot of the asian foods are not nearly as appetizing as they appear, and can be borderline nasty. I have an unopened jar of commercially-packed kimchi in my refrigerator because I also wanted to "learn to like it", but it has been sitting in there for a few months now. This is the second jar I have bought without tasting.

One Japanese dish called "natto" has caught my eye lately (while watching videos) and I wonder if any SOCers have tried it. It is a fermented soybean product that gets stirred up and looks too much like a "bowl o' mucus" to me. It's supposed to be super healthy, though.

I take the supplement nattokinase instead.
Yuk!

I haven't watched it yet, but judging from the color, it looks like a beet recipe, and I hate beets.

It does have beet juice in it. I would think the apple cider vinegar would overpower any beet flavor, though.
