It doesnt say what type cucumbers to use. I also seem to remember Kimchi in an episode of M*A*S*H. The one where Frank Burns saw some Koreans burying something in the ground behind the Swamp. So he called an alert and went out in the field dressed for battle, expecting something to explode. What he dug up was - Kimchi - in an earthenware jar. That is the Korean way of letting Kimchi ferment. Although I dont know how many days they leave it like that. Oh, yes, if you try to "age" it that way, be sure to wrap the jar in some sort of cloth, so the dirt doesnt get inside the jar!
