I was introduced to kimchi during my first tour in Seoul (1963) by a lovely Chinese-Korean lady. She invited me to her home for dinner with her family and I ate from every bowl on the low table.
Kimchi takes some getting used to eating. It was common to eat "G.I. kimchi," a less spiced version, but by my second tour with the 2nd Infantry in 1975 I was able to eat it Korean style.
G.I.s would commonly joke that kimchi kept the mosquitoes away from the Koreans and also to never get a haircut immediately after lunch on the military compounds. To many soldiers, the aroma of kimchi was overwhelming.
Those two tours in Korea stand memorable to me during my 20-year career in the Army.

I love Kimchi! I did know that it's a Korean dish, but you're right. Many people do not know this. I think that a lot of people in the United States assume that it's Japanese because it's served as an appetizer in many of the sushi restaurants here.

Of course, Kimchi is a Korean cabbage salad served with any meal. I came back from Seoul this morning and bought 1 kg of Kimchi! I love it. My mother is Korean and my Dad is Russian, but I prefer Korean food. and Kimchi is one of my favorite.

kimchi is a traditional Korean fermented dish made of seasoned vegetables.
Kimchi is the most common Korean banchan eaten with rice along with other banchan dishes. Kimchi is also a common ingredient and cooked with other ingredients to make dishes such as kimchi stew (kimchi jjigae) and kimchi fried rice (kimchi bokkeumbap). Moreover, because it is both flavorful and healthy, the world-wide appeal and popularity of kimchi continues to grow.

I love Kimchi. In fact I have made it often for myself. Of course it's not as good because I am Chinese & I can't do it the Korean way, very long & complicated process.

That's because Japanese make a thing similar to Kim Chee with the cabbage. It isn't that far a stretch to call it Kim Chee.
We eat Kim Chee all the time. My stepmother is Korean and my motherNlaw learned how to make it from Koreans and I make it and purchase ready made from Koreans. There are Japanese dishes that use korean kimchee as an ingredient and that is why so many people think it is Japanese which is a far more popular cuisine next to Chinese than Korean.

Kimchi is korean and certainly not japanese, how sharp of those to try to claim otherwise, I like both foods, tried korean food in London, and had japanese food in Tokyo, proper.

I know Kimchi! I've made Kimchi, both fast and slow fermented. I always order it and it's always different, but most often good. It is definitely Korean.

Yes, I know kimchi.
If you are talking about that spicy pickle included in every meal -even breakfast, I have been told, tough I have not stranded from tea at that time of the day- and added to soups, stews, stir-fry and pancake dishes... I know about it. The thing is I understand there are hundreds of varieties and I have only tried 2 or 3; I guess I'll have to apply myself and learn more about it.

Oh, I know Kimchi and I know it's Korean and not Japanese, but I'm rather well-traveled.
