Deadly Delicious
There is a growing force taking over our fridge. It makes me flinch every time I open the fridge door. It’s not blue cheese, or even shrimp paste, but a particularly virulent strain of Kimchee (or Kimchi) that we bought from Tokyo Mart last month. It’s so potent that I have it wrapped like a mummy in countless layers of unenvironmentally-friendly plastic wrap, to try to stem the smell. But the leaves of fermented cabbage are probably silently burning holes in the container and the wrap, and just when the fridge is bulging with the scent, some poor soul opens the door in the morning, releasing the power of.. sniff sniff.. what IS that? Petrol?
Unfortunately, it’s also very good Kimchee. But somewhere along the line, something’s gotta give…

I think that whoever makes a container that will keep Kimchee isolated and your fridge smell-free, will be a millionaire (in Korea at least).

I’m thinking, some kind of refrigerated metal safe…
