--------Korean food--------
Rice, either plain
or cooked with other grains, is the main dish at Korean meals. Rice is accompanied by a variety
of side dishes that vary greatly according to the region and the season. Next to rice comes kimchi,
a spicy vegetable dish generally comprised of celery, cabbage and turnips or cucumbers seasoned with salt,
garlic, onions, ginger, red pepper and shellfish. Soup is also a vital part of almost every meal.
Other dishes include seafood, meat or poultry, greens, herbs and roots. Each person has his own rice
and soup bowls but all other dishes are placed in the center of the table for everyone to partake of.
A spoon and chopsticks are used for eating.
