Kimchi

After doing my daily Kung-fu (that I started this holiday) I was really hungry, also I hadn't eaten today, so I went to have a big meal.  I had bulgogi in a sort of water dish, it's something I know I like, but its made for 2 people, so I always make sure I'm pretty much starving before I go.  Now the meal was really good, as I knew it would be and it came with some great side dishes, but it also came with several versions of Kimchi.  Anybody who knows me here would probably attest to the fact that I just won't eat Kimchi.  Yes it can be a little too spicy for me at times depending upon the type, but my main reasoning is that I think it just tastes awful.

I was finishing off my large meal, or at least as much as I could eat and I sat back for a bit to regain my composure.  I saw a fly that had been buzzing around the room, it had attempted to settle on several dishes and I had shooed it away, however it had chosen to land on one of the Kimchi side dishes and I really didn't care.  SO as my stomach settled a little I watch the fly take it's time to scout out the bowl.  It located some of the Kimchi, then backed off quickly.  Again it got closer to the Kimchi and actually tried it this time, but again it was driven back by what I can only assume is the taste.  After a third time it gave up.  The result I am choosing to take from this observation is that if a creature that will basically eat anything, including shit doesn't like Kimchi, that's reason enough not to eat it.
