I can only think of real cheese. They dont like the strong and bitey stuff.

What else is there? They seem to eat everything that moves. So far we can maybe only think of Snails.

WHat else???

Do you mean physically sick, genetically, or emotionally sick? I know Koreans who eat cheese and have no problem.

Oatmeal, pumpkin pie, lamb, Orangina, halvah, cilantro, parsley, any kind of rice other than that commonly consumed here.

I've fed a few some humble pie. They didn't like it.

I wanted to say haggis but it's part of a pig filled with meat. So it's their kind of thing.

Anything really, really salty. Or anything you can't share with everyone else at the table.

Most don't seem to enjoy coreander.

VEGEMITE. Instant Korean repellant.. :)

Extremes of flavours, such as extra salty or extra sweet.

Very bitter foods also seem to have problems being digested.. :D

jae.

They also don't seem to like pudding. Which is strange, because they like Jello.

I had this reaction with persimmon and pumpkin pie too. I was told that it was because Koreans don't like dessert foods to be wet and mushy. Who knows?

I'd also, keeping with jaebea's comments, add olives to the list.

Parsley is easy to find here , and used mostly for garnish in the west,cause of the lack of flavor.

I find that many react badly to strong minty flavors. I almost killed a cab driver once, by offering him an altoid. He started coughing so much I thought we were gonna drive off the road. Shocked

But pat-bing-soo is as mushy and wet as it gets.
