Its at stuff what skeers the ole timer............... The 'stuff' in this case was a sliver of daikon root pickle (that yellow pickle), a sliver of chicken sausage, and a sliver of cucumber rolled together. Korean Kimbap may have ground beef (cooked of course), or an imitation crab stick as the meat inside. I haven't seen Korea kimbap made with any seafood except for a cooked imitation crab stick. The daikon root is a root vegetable. You may not be used to it, but it isn't scary.The most controversial part is the seaweed wrap on the outside, which tastes fishy if you aren't used to it. This seaweed, kim or gim, which the Japanese call nori is actually quite good for you.<www.sandiegouniontribune.com/news/health/sdut-seaweed-provides-vitamins-minerals-and-2012sep25-story.html>.The first time I tried kimbap, I did not care for it much. It tasted fishy. Then I got used to eating bits of seaweed in other foods, including Korean ramen noodles when I lived there. I tried some kimbap towards the latter end of my year stay there, and I really liked it. The standard table Korean soy sauce, which is less salty and a bit earthier-tasting than kikoman, goes really well with kimbap. Hawaii people will take spam wrap it with rice and seaweed and call it 'spam musibi.' Kids love it. I hear someone from Hawaii went to work for 7-11 in Japan and now the Japanese, who tried it in Hawaii, can eat spam musubi in their home country
