If it is from a Korean restaurant, it could be some kimchi although kimchi is normally served as side dish. If it tastes spicy and fermented, then it is likely kimchi.
@Stephie Back in 2001 I had a temp job at a repackaging warehouse where the manager ate kimchi every day, he was white, and said he got addicted to it while serving in South Korea with the US military.
@NativePortlander1970 You know I like cabbage fresh in coleslaw or cooked in a New England boiled dinner. But in the business I've been in I smelled that fermented stuff being reheated in company kitchen microwaves and thought it was the worse smelling stuff that existed. It was so bad I refused to try it.
@NativePortlander1970 I love that stuff but is better eaten when you are all by yourself. The smell of it gets out of every single pore of your body and may be a nuisance to most people not familiar with kimchi.
@Gibbon I Love coleslaw and caramelized sauerkraut and onions on brats, not together of course, but reheating kimchi in employee lunch rooms should be banned.
