I have encountered funny tasting fruit. I always ask my mother to pack a fruit in my lunch (yes, my mom still packs my lunch for school- don't judge, be jealous). At lunch time, when I take a bite into my health snack, I cant help but kringe after every bite....my apple has a funky after taste? Has it gone bad?
Because I hate wasting food, I keep chomping away wondering what this mystery flavour is, but I just couldn't put my finger on it. By the end of the day I forget about this initial inquiry until I am faced with it again the next day at lunch time.... As such, this has been going on for a while now and I have no sherlock in me to figure it out.... until one day on my search for fruit in the kitchen, I found apples.......in the kimchi fridge.
That funky after taste? Garlic. That mystery flavour? Fermented cabbage. Awesome. Mystery solved.
Dear umma, please stop putting the fruit in the kimchi fridge because all my applies taste like kimchi.
