The K-food craze, will ‘Kimchi Carbonara’ make a big hit?
The article discusses the recent popularity of kimchi, a traditional Korean side dish, in the West. The author recalls their experience studying abroad in Canada in the 1990s, where kimchi was not well-received due to its strong smell. However, with Korea's growing cultural influence, kimchi has become a trendy food, even appearing in the New York Times' food section.
The author suggests that its popularity is not just due to its taste, but also because Korea has become a culturally interesting country. The author also jokingly considers starting a business serving "kimchi carbonara", a dish that combines kimchi with Italian carbonara pasta.
