When one eats in many types of Korean restaurants it's expected that a
set of from 4 to 8 little plates of pickles of various kinds will
precede the meal. It's as average a part of the table as the napkin
dispenser.

What is this selection called, generically, as provided by the
restaurant. Don't they have a name for their selection-of-whatzits, no
matter their content. This would be a word that would apply to any
such place.

Thanks for any aid. This is a fantastic cuisine for exploration.
