Kimchi Stew Story

Kimchi Stew Story

Stewed kimchi is mouth-watering;
Koreans love the stew, a bit morphed
version of kimchi, pickled cabbage;
packed with such antioxidants as garlic,
ginger, onion, red cayenne pepper,
anchovies, oysters, etc., it is even more
delicious when eaten with white steamed rice.

The smell of kimchi stew fills the air
far above the Peninsular, reaching up
to heaven, they say, they can smell it
even in the passing airplane.
But who cares? The Peninsulans love it,
as the lover's fancy perfume.
