Yeah this is silly. Cabbage is (as far as I can tell) native to Europe, but are we gonna pretend Kimchi is somehow not Korean?
Kimchi = Sauerkraut in a spicy hat and therefore kimchi is German.
Don’t point out that sauerkraut has possible origins in China.
Neat! I didn't know sauerkraut had Chinese origins. Do you think both Kimchi and sauerkraut has some common Chinese dish as their ancestor?
They do! It's called suān cài, and uses chinese mustard in the south and west and napa cabbage in north china (this being the variety that sauerkraut is based on. Kimchi likely either shares its origin here as well or may have started as the same dish.

Oh, 100%.
That's very cool! I'll try it if I ever get the chance.
I will stuff anyone that mocks kimchi into a stone urn and pickle them with enough salt and red pepper powder to kimchify them sour.
You are only allowed to do this if you're European, per hexbear rules. Sorry.
Alright you're going in the jar first
Mesopotamians had cabbage so I doubt it was from Europe
