From the movie Gladiator:
Slave Trader 1 These slaves are rotten.
Slave Trader 2 It all adds to the flavor.
A big reason I believe we need to eat fermented foods to be healthy is that they taste so good.

After I began reading Seth’s blog a couple of years ago, I started experimenting with fermented foods. It’s fun. I make kombucha on a regular basis, and I usually let it undergo a second fermentation. I add a couple of ounces of fruit juice to a 16-ounce glass bottle, top it off with kombucha, and then close the lid tightly. Within a couple of days, the kombucha is nicely carbonated. You have to be careful, though, to use juice without any preservatives — otherwise, it doesn’t work.
I’ve also made lacto-fermented salsa and fermented jalapeño slices. I tried making kim chee once, but it had a pretty nasty flavor to it, so I threw it away.
Anyway, making your own fermented food is fun, and it tastes good (usually).
