| The next time I go to America, I am going to take a lot of Kimchi and eat it with every meal because it is so very delicious! |

I never really understood this.
I've never encountered any nation of people (other than Koreans) that routinely take their own food with them whenever they go abroad. |

The only true delicious kimchi is kimchi that has been fermented in the soil of Mother Korea that has been watered by the vigorous spit of its upright, hardworking and cute citizens. All other kimchis are bland one-dimensional fake kimchis. |

Apparently you haven't discovered the awesomeness of vegemite or marmite then. Thankfully the UK apparently has finally gotten the message got the message and has it in stock. I suppose customs was just sick of all the Aussies and Kiwis coming with suitcases of it.
But yeah, Koreans are pretty (in)famous for not branching out to other foods. Food is one of the things you OUGHT to do when you travel. At least give it a try.
That being said, I personally don't like Korean food. I've given it a fair shake and never found anything I actually enjoyed eating. I'm probably a minority on this, but I won't be missing it when we leave. |
