History of Kimchi in Korea 김치 : 고추가 한국에 온 방법

[HyunWooLee123]

bleh, Japanese people. Get the hell out of here before we kick your dirty asses.

일본인들은 조용히 꺼져주세요 ^^

[Futentorasan]

Kimchi 맛있는.

それは辛みだけではなくて、発酵による旨みが複雑に溶け込んでい­て、おいしい。

Hot chili pepperがchiliから交易路を通って半島へと伝来したこ­とは、古の歴史のロマンを感じる。

Not only kimchi, Korean food culture has more things.

호떡(ホトク,Hotteok） also yummy and sweet ^_^

[LordPlagus777]

Nice nice, i''ve been eating kimchi for 15 year without knowing it. It's like wine. The older the better, but if too much time passes it gets too strong for my taste.

[tjdgo123]

Even tho i'm korean i didn't really know about it. However, It was a interesting information. keep it up man!

[bundangbear]

감사합니다

[bundangbear]

감사합니다! Thanks! Yeah, I must be doing something right; you've noticed my "antifans," too!

[etatauri]

i guess as a korean i never thought about the history of kimchi.. it was just something thats always been and always will be on every meal everyday. pretty cool though, think i might wikipedia that

[jung103]

[bundangbear]

감사합니다

[eddiesluver]

I just got my fiancee to watch this... I asked him afterwards if he knew any of this, he said no! And his mother is Korean born and raised! lol

The Bear, teaching Koreans about Kimchi! XD

(''')o.O(''') RAWR!!!

[SanBikiNoOokami]

Hi HentaiBear,

Check out 왜겨자. Not that it matters where peppers come from.

[taebaek]

Hey BDB,

I also heard that Jesuit Missionaries brought them over to Korea from Japan. Meaning, S.Amer.toJapan to Korea. It is an interesting topic, miss you brother, peace,

[Xentradi97]

salt was the main spice for kimchee before chilli arrived.

[Nikzactob]

This was very interesting background on kimchee thank you

[ijustlovetvxq]

wow.. thnk you for tht fun facts ^_^ nxt time tell us abt ddeokboki? the spicy one.. wht is tht mde of?

and the yummy kimbap:)

[bundangbear]

Check out aeriskitchen on YT! She just today made a vid about TteokBokKi (떡볶이)

watch?v=Ir7TJeNq1gg

[hyubgaek]

Great info BundangBear. I've heard from my Korean friend that WHite Kimch dates back to the Three Kingdoms period. I guess it was before or right about then huh! NICE INFO!

[bundangbear]

You're talking about "baek kimchi," 백김치, which is very old, but not spicy at all. Nowadays, when Koreans and foreigners alike refer to "common" kimchi, they speak of the kind with gochu, 고추, or hot chili peppers.

[hyubgaek]

Yes sir! I didn't know this until my friend gave me the low down! LOL very interesting! I love Kimchi! I got to Korean meat buffets over here in California all the time, to get my fair share of Korean marinated meat and KIMCHI (RED) LOL!!

[bundangbear]

You're lucky to live in a place where you can get good Korean food in USA. I'm from Buffalo, NY, and there aren't many Korean restaurants there, so I had to move to Korea. LOL!

[hyubgaek]

When I saw you yelling I knew you were from NY LOL! You got Italian mafioso going! JKJK! I have few friends also who've taught in both Korea and Japan. They really had a great time in Korea! And also did express to me about the black vans harrassing foreigners! One of my friends ended up marrying a girl from Japan, while he was teaching there, that lucky bastard! LOL So what are your plans? Have you found any crazy Koraen girl yet! Wish you the best of LUCK!

[aeriskitchen]

Hi ^^ very useful information.. thanks !!! I like your videos~~~

[magick205]

Che gochu chokdo, meapda. Seriously tho, put a recipe up for radish kimchi (gakkdugi). It's been forever since I had a really good dish of that. And some damn OB beer.

[jeremynikmup]

wow i thought kimchi was a gassy substance, somewhat resembling a fart . thank you bundang for once again settin me straight.

[GloriaJo]

Yeah, 고추 symbolizes penis in Korea.

XD

[GloriaJo]

A geumjul is a straw rope that is hung across a gate to mark the interior as taboo to outsiders and prevent evil spirits from entering. A geumjul is usually hung on the gate for 21 days after the birth of a baby. The rope is festooned with chilies to indicate that the baby is a boy and with charcoal to show that it is a girl. People used to believe that the red color of the chilies would frighten away evil spirits and that the charcoal would soak them up.

[bundangbear]

Wow, GloriaJo! Thanks for teaching me something new about Korea! How common are geumjul today? For example, am I likely to see them on apartment doors in Bundang? I haven't seen any that I can recall, but I wasn't looking. I got this "금줄" in Moran shi jang in Seongnam-shi for only 2,000W.

[OnlyTruthCounts]

An interesting proverb about chilly in Korea;

"Small chilly is the hot one"

meaning; often a small person has a strong character or capable of solving difficult problem.

[bundangbear]

OnlyTruthCounts, could you give me the proverb in proper Korean, please? I'm always trying to improve my 한국어.

감사합니다

[KeepLyingWhoCares]

작은 고추가 맵다.

It's a Korean figure of speech (like David vs Goliath).

[OnlyTruthCounts]

bundangbear,

KeepLyingWhoCares- has just explained it spot on! Thanks. : )

[GloriaJo]

It's rare to see 금줄 thesedays. I would say almost NOT. Especially in cities like 분당. I think it's because most of babies are born in hospital.

[GloriaJo]

I think the thing that you're holding is kind of like 금줄.

[cheakdirk]

mmmmm but what to do whit that info?

[k88musa]

agree :)

[jeoung91]

mmm i love kimchi =)

[kimchiman1000]

Ahhhhh - 사랑스러운 김치!

Great vid, 분당곰!

[onemuslimvoice]

I have made halal versions of almost everything I like, including, yes you guessed it MAC AND CHEESE YAY! Cheese here in the states is mostly haram to us so NO CHEDDAR FOR ME :( buhu Buhu! I figured a worked around mocking the look of mac n cheese with spices hehehehe :)

[Tamar1973]

Thanks for the free korean lesson. I'll never think of the humble gochu the same away again! *blush*

[laracroftroxmysox]

Korean food has always interested me so much! There is so much spicy stuff! I'm not a big fan of vegetables, but I might just try kimchi if I go to Korea. It's EVERYWHERE!

XD

P.S.

What's the correct way to pronounce 고추 <----- ?

[bundangbear]

It is "gochu," pronounced like "go choo." Always thanks for watching! If you're interested in reading hangul (Korean alphabet), it is really easy. Should I make some vids on it? The hard part, of course, is learning what all the words mean.

[laracroftroxmysox]

Heh, yeah! I'm actually learning Japanese right now, and I'm planning on learning Korean and Russian afterwards. You never completely learn a language though, but I'm trying my best with the time I have. I have gotten a little familiar with Korean and Russian pronounciation already, but Korean pronounciation has SO many exceptions!

:S

[bundangbear]

I find Korean much easier than Japanese. (I still can't read many kanji, I confess.) I'd dare to say I'm pretty close to having completely learned French, but it was spoken in my home by my grandparents growing up. My Korean, Japanese and Italian are intermediate level. My Spanish, Arabic, German, Tagalog, and Portuguese are basic.

[laracroftroxmysox]

Yeah, Japanese is hard. Jesus, you know a lot of languages. I wanted to learn Lebanese just to learn a little about my heritage, but Japanese, Korean, and Russian have always been my main interest. I already speak English and Spanish (it's Puerto Rico, go figure).

XD

That's what I really wanna study in college; languages.

[beararmygirl]

masarap!

[bundangbear]

talaga??

[seouldave69]

Food history is just fascinating, isn't it? You didn't mention the kimchi museum at COEX Mall in Kangnam. Have you been there? I've never been there, but I want to go now. Maybe deck that makes all those travel vids will cover the kimchi museum.

[coolglock19]

LOL Kimchi! waooo you learn a new thing each day!

[humbleguy2]

onemuslimvoice said it all

[onemuslimvoice]

heheh thanks :) I have been trying it out well working on a halal version of it hehehehe!

[pataphysician66]

A halal version would be awesome - it will introduce kimchi to a whole lot of new people! Seriously! In L.A. I bet you can find a halal version.

[pataphysician66]

Tasty! It goes with everything! Great on a hamburger!

[coolglock19]

you know M4 and Colt pistol??

아세요??

[bundangbear]

Of course. I own 2 guns kept in USA. I have a Walther PPK, from my grandfather, and an AK-47. Of course, we can't own guns in Korea.

[coolglock19]

nice awesome!!

한국말 잘하십니다!

[bundangbear]

진짜? 감사합니다!

[littlebear1963]

That was interesting, thank you!! ;o)

[bundangbear]

Always my pleasure, littlebear!
