The Sydney International Food festival made these cool flags - each country's flag is made out of one of its national dishes.

I didn't know sushi was popular in Korea! I mean I guess it makes sense.

Those are not sushi. They are Kimbaps.

I'd say between 5 and 10 thousand won?

You will come to know and love kimbap during your sojourn here. A filling lunch for about 1 buck and a half, two and change if you get hte chamchi (tuna) version.

You'll get the chamchi version.

Kimbap usually has little or no fresh fish inside, sushi rolls usually do.

Yep! I'm 100% sure that the California roll came before Kimbab and the Americans exported it here, now the Koreans have Koreanised it. Rolling Eyes

There is a type of sushi that is very similar to kimbap. In fact, I'm not sure how you can distinguish sushi (the typed rolled in seaweed) from kimbap. So I can see why one would think there is no difference between the two. A japanese or American person would look at a roll of kimbap and call it sushi.

I tried to explain this to the Korean kids at my college in the states when they were preparing a presentation for this international cuisine thing. I was telling them they need a truly unique Korean dish. Of course they didn't listen and come presentation time, the audience were like, "so this is just a type of Sushi?" The Korean kids had no answer but "No...its different." Couldn't explain what the difference was. Their other dish was bulgogi on a stick which the American audience thought were kebabs. Now they're gonna think Korean food is a rip-off of other cultures.
