Kimchi War

China has slapped an import ban on South Korean-made kimchi and side dishes in retaliation against Seoul’s steps to strengthen quarantine against Chinese kimchi following the discovery of parasite eggs in them.--Korea Times

I don't think I really want to know what kind of parasite lays eggs that can survive in kimchi.

No fake. That's a seriously tenacious critter.

Yup. If that thing can live in kimchi it's gotta be just a mutation or two away from being able to tolerate our atmosphere and becoming the dominant lifeform on earth. I say we take off and nuke them from space. It's the only way to be sure.

Is it sick and wrong that I now have a hankering for chinese food?

Maybe you're just hungry for parasite eggs.
