I had kimchi once while in South Korea after being tricked by a friend into eating it. I died inside a little bit. Fortunately my resentment towards Korean food didn't last long because I also ate things like Soondubu Jiggae (a stew with tofu in it) and it was very good.

There's a lot of different types of kimchi! If it's the spiciness you didn't like, there are mild ones (but in my limited experience, it's hard to tell w/o trying; redness doesn't seem to necessarily equate to spicy). Same with the fermentation/salty taste. Though if it's a general aversion to pickles, that's different.

I hate to break it to you, but soondobu has kimchi in it usually.

It depends on where you get it. A lot of the soondobu I've eaten had things like mushrooms, clam, beef, squash, kelp, anchovies (soondobu is pretty much the only thing I'll eat that has anchovies) and etc without kimchi (though unlike the other anon, I enjoy kimchi)

Well, the only other anchovy related dish aside from kimchi itself I guess since a lot of kimchi recipes include anchovy. I prefer it with shrimp though

No, you misunderstand... the actual broth almost always contains some chopped kimchi, or at the very least kimchi juice along with the other ingredients like gochujang and dried anchovies and whatnot. It might not be one of the whole things you find in the soup but it really is almost always in there.

for some reason this comment made me think of the time one of my friends made some with sauerkraut because it was easier than finding kimchi. it just didn't taste the same

I currently live in South Korea, and I wouldn't eat bondaeggi (silk worms) if you offered me $500. They smell FOUL.

And I'm not a picky eater, love spicy things, etc.
