It is so important that they will typically have a secondary refrigerator in their home to store their kimchi. I cannot say if the same can be said about sauerkraut, but you probably know more about that than most folks.

Obviously the Ukeleles don't go to school. LOL

I'v e tried kimchi at several Korean restaurants in NYC, I'd never
want it piled on a kosher dawg. I'd consider kimchi in small amounts
more of a palate cleanser, not something one chows down on... and many
versions are so spicy hot that they are only fit for those afflicted
with TIAD. Kimchi is obviously not about hot peppers because no Korean
ever ate a hot pepper or any pepper until after the new world was
discovered. Spicy hot kimchi is obviously about the most ignorant
Koreans/Hawaiins on the planet. Just like there is nothing Hawiian
about pineaqpple. Pineapple is a Central Americxan plant... few
pineapples are grown in Hawaii today, the majority are grown in the
Phillapines. Land and labor are too expensive in Hawaii. Mostly
Hawaii produces condominiums and SPAM.
