Brussels Sprouts + Kimchi.

Kimchi is apparently being touted as a bacon substitute in light of the impending Bacon Armageddon when shit is supposed to hit the price-fan next year. SF Gate and Food52 shared this recipe of a chef inspired charred Brussels sprouts dish mixed with chopped kimchi. A few things come to mind:

1.) Kimchi goes great with everything. Brussels' sprouts, sure.

2.) The dish would be even better if it had bacon in it (though the whole point of the piece was what to do with sprouts in light of a bacon shortage).

3.) Why not just make a kim chi out of Brussels' sprouts? Leave 'em whole or cut them in half. Eat it with pork belly (uncured/unsmoked cut of pig used to make bacon). 

I know, I'm not helping the bacon situation.

I had a little nervous breakdown worrying about the "bacon situation". This looks like my kind of dish!

I can't wait to try it.. Brussel Sprouts season is upon us...
