Kimchi is incomparable to anything in the US. I don't mean this in terms of taste as much as I do superstition surrounding the food. As a staple, bread may be our closet equivalent. Nonetheless, we do not:
1. Think that we will become ill if we don't eat bread
2. Find it impossible to eat our meals unless they are served with bread
3. Worry about vacationing abroad due to the prospect that there may not be bread
I'm not exaggerating. Koreans eat this stuff like there's no tomorrow and they're pretty horrified when they hear of the"terrible rumor" from abroad that it's is disgusting. It's actually fine. And in case you don't like one kind, there's more than 100 to choose from! And if that's not enough, they've also managed to work it into every other food dish imaginable - kimchi soup, kimchi dumplings, kimchi pancakes, kimchi fried rice, and kimchi sushi to name a few.
LOL you forgot to mention that Kimchi also prevents cancer!!
