It gets subtler. A "cantonese restaurant" in besant nagar, looks
fairly new, that had kimchee as a starter, as a "cantonese cabbage dish"
Now, angrily protesting koreans aside, I'd LOVE to see the effect a
bite of kimchee has on an average iyer type whose only experience of
cabbage is the usual bland, boiled curry its made into here.
Interestingly, Madras has probably the most authentic Korean
restaurants in the country - fueled by a large expat Korean population.
But I suspect that many average Iyers do know about kimchee these days.
