Does the noun 'kimchi' refer only to the peppery hot cabbage mixture,
or does it also extend to the other relishes that accompany a Korean meal? - Mike |

Think of it along the lines of the word "salad". My favorite kimchee is the cucumber kimchee "oy-o" (no clue how to really spell it) Goomba |

In case they die unexpectedly, no one will think a thing about finding it in the house during the post mortal house cleaning job. Now, that titillating tidbit aside, cucumber kimchee is slightly sweet. But I adore the more well known cabbage kimchee too. During one pregnancy all I craved for a few months was kimchee and sticky rice. Oy. Goomba |

Went to the local oriental market and found several different types, some of which were on that list. Bought the radish chunks. Nice/crunchy. - Mike |

It's part.y generic to spicy pickled vegetables, and partly specific to spicy pickled cabbage. Kind of like using "soda" to mean a flavored carbonated drink or just plain soda water. http://en2.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kimchi --Blair "And *now* I'm *hungry*." |

The seasonings could vary, but not the process. It wouldn't refer to any other vegetable that I know of. I can still smell it in my mind. Yech! Fred The Good Gourmet http://www.thegoodgourmet.com |

Yech! > > Fred > The Good Gourmet > http://www.thegoodgourmet.com You are entirely correct in everything that you say. However, while agreeing with you completely, let me say that kimchi is probably the single greatest culinary contribution from Korea, the many other wonderful culinary delights notwithstanding. As you may or may not surmise from this post, it is quite common to find avid fans of kimchi disparaging the unique food at length! GaryO |

Kimchee can be made from most vegetables, as well as seafood. There is also a version called "water kimchee" which is not spicy at all. There must be hundreds of kinds. When I lived in Los Angeles, I would frequent the local Korean Supermarket, which devoted an entire *aisle* to kimchee. _The Kimchee Cookbook_ by Kim Man-Jo, Lee Kyou-Tae and Lee O-Young is an excellent source of information and recipes.
