You don’t know Korean cuisine until you try kimchi.
Hailed as the national dish of Korea, kimchi is renowned for its powerful spicy and sour taste as well as its many health benefits. While kimchi is considered to be a key part of a balanced Korean meal, there are plenty of people in the world who have yet to experience its pungent taste.
This is where YouTube channel 영국남자, or Korean Englishman, comes in.
The channel, run by Josh Carrott and Ollie Kendal, recently recruited a few British people to try the fermented side dish for the first time. Granted, kimchi in a bag is not exactly the most authentic form of the famed dish, but traveling with a jar of kimchi from Seoul to London doesn’t sound fun.
At first, the British tasters have a hard time handling the kimchi‘s spiciness and end coughing it up. But Josh has a few tricks up his sleeve, and by the end of the video, most of the tasters find kimchi to be “quite good.”
