(Finebros) Today you're reacting to this.
Aah! What is this?
Viola.
What is that?
It doesn't smell so good.
It looks like cabbage.
Looks like-- let's see.
That looks a little bit like broccoli.
I don't want to touch it yet.
Looks like those are onions.
I've never seen this anywhere.
An animal's brain-- that's one of the ingredients.
That's what it looks like.
Ohhhh.
I forget what it's called, but I actually like this.
I know it's like pickled stuff.
I think I know what this is.
- (Finebros) What do you think it is? - Kimchi.
When I saw kimchi before, it was really red.
And this is really red.
It smells, like, spicy.
I think it would be easier to eat if I couldn't see it.
I've never had this, and I don't think I ever want to.
(Finebros) Hope you're hungry, 'cause now you get to eat it.
Oh, a mini version. Thank god.
What should I try first?
(sighing) Oh my gosh. (sniffs)
No idea what this could be.
It's good.
A little bit spicy, but it's good.
Bleh.
This is not that good.
The moment of truth.
I really like it, but it's not bad enough to make me throw up.
Oh my gosh, I'm so scared.
Oh my gosh.
Just eat it. Just eat it.
(blows) Really spicy.
Really salty (chuckles) and peppery.
(crunching)
Give me water.
(spits) Oh god. Uh-uh.
It's like pickled water with sriracha in it.
Oh, not what I expected.
Kinda weirded me out at first when it was very stringy,
but it actually tasted really good.
I'm a vegetarian,
so I'm used to just eating vegetables all the time.
Reminds me of hot sauce a lot.
It looks really bad, but it's really good.
What is this? Could you tell me already?
- (Finebros) You just ate kimchi. - Oh, now I remember.
I don't know what kimchi is.
I don't know what that means.
All I know is the word "Kim" is a name.
What culture is that from?
Doesn't sound American like "hamburger."
Kimchi is a Korean food, but it's traditionally made
by fermenting or pickling vegetables-- in this case, cabbage--
which is stored in jars in the ground for months.
Huh. Wow.
Ew.
In a jar? And then they put it inside the ground?
Doesn't taste like it's been buried.
It reminds me of pickles.
It sounds like it would be gross if you say that,
but it's really good.
That's something that I can say to my friends.
"You know what I did this summer?
I ate spicy, pickled cabbage. Woo."
I'm kinda glad that you told me the process after I tried it,
because if you told me before, I probably would resist eating it.
(Finebros) So do you recommend people eat kimchi?
Yes.
I do recommend it, because it just tastes like vegetables
and there's nothing bad about it.
I don't really recommend it.
No. I'm sorry.
I would.
If you're a fan of spicy food, I would definitely try it.
I recommend people do eat kimchi,
because it's basically a pickle.
Yes.
It tastes like pickles,
except it's spicy, which makes everything better.
No.
It doesn't feel right going down your throat. It just doesn't.
Thanks for watching Kids vs. Food on the React channel.
