i live in the sauerkraut region, so i inherited the sauerkraut clay pot, but betrayed local customs and started "farming" kimchi instead. it's so much more interesting in taste and not that hard to prepare (when in hurry you can prepare ~5kg in an afternoon).

one day i wanted to be cheeky to my 2-yo son, so i offered him a bit. to my amazement he gasped, but wanted more and more. weird :)
