diana172, it tastes like spicy cabbage. there's different varieties of kimchee and different levels of spice and fermentation. i certainly don't think it's easy to eat if you haven't grown up with it or if you're not particularly adventurous. if you don't like spice, don't even bother. :)

Ahaha i was in a movie with Jane Lynch where I was the "foreign exchange student" which is funny cuz i'm so white and we couldn't think of a name, so we named me Kim Chee. Hilariosity. I need a good place to buy some kimchee...

my fave part of eating korean food is the array of side dishes that come with every order. there are hundreds of varieties of kimchi and they are all delicious! i only have two friends that like kimchi. my family cannot stand it! it is definitely an acquired taste. unless you grew up eating it, you are not likely to enjoy it as an adult. it also has a distinctive smell. remember pavlov's dogs? the mere thought of kimchi illicits the same reaction in me! :-)

eating it doesn't do much for your social life though, what with the funky breath that mints can't quite erase :op
