Kimchi is the name that, outside of Korea, is generally given to a dish made of spicy fermented cabbage — in Korea it refers to a wide variety of pickled and otherwise preserved vegetables. Much like sauerkraut and similar dishes, Kimchi is an acquired taste, but once you love it, you love it, and can’t do without.
