I won't remove it from the gimbap, but it's a taste I've never learned to like here after four years.

P.S. Jessica Alba is hot.

I love it but its so expensive in Canada. My theory about english teachers in Korea is that its all a big scam. they don't actually want to teach their kids the language, they just want to create a gaggle of foreigners addicted to the food so that it will become popular on the international market at stupendous prices!

I don't "love" it, but it's pretty good. I got a box of packaged seaweed once from a company I worked for and I made some nice soup out of it. Kimbap is nice too.

'gim' tastes pretty good. In Northern Ireland we eat dried seaweed called 'dulse'. It's not like gim. It's a type of seaweed plucked directly from the sea and simply dried in the sun. Nice 'n' salty. My Korean wife loved it when we visited N.I.

BTW, gim tastes good probably because it's dipped in oil during processing. It's not exactly a low-fat food.

Gim---- is apparently Laver in English....its a type of seaweed but not the stuff you eat in soups and such. Apparently.......don't get angry at me. My coworker (Korean) was explaining it to me. I usually buy a big thing of Gim I basically eat it as a snack like one would eat chips. I like the seaweed soup though I don't think I could eat it every day.

We eat dulse in the Maritimes too, though we all hail from Irish shores anyway... potato famine and all.... except for the Scots and the French

Has anyone actually ever used that word in English? I mean, outside of an English-language Korean cuisine cookbook?
