I like kimchee, I found out about it in Japan actually. There was an old woman who used to sell it at my station, I think it was home made. You can eat that stuff right from the jar. Usually when I go out for Korean food it comes as a side dish. They pickle other things too in the same way but I prefer the cabbage. I'm not sure what the other stuff is, it's like daikon almost, its a cubed, white vegetable that's kind of tough and crunchy but they pickle it like kimchee.
Other Korean dishes I love are Gamjatang and Dokpoki. The Korean restaurants where I am (not sure if it's just here or if its a common practice at all Korean places) serve combos, which is usually one big dish like a large pot of Gamjatang or something, several side dishes which range from chicke jiblets to kimchee to french fries to these brown saucy glass noodles, and then every combo comes with either 5 beers or 1 bottle of soju. All that is usually only $20.
