KIMJANG, the making and sharing of kimchi, have has been recognized by UNESCO as an intangible cultural heritage items along with, of course, kimchi itself. “Kimjang allows Koreans to practise the spirit of sharing among neighbours, while promoting solidarity and providing them a sense of identity and belonging; Inscription of Kimjang could contribute to the visibility of intangible cultural heritage by enhancing dialogue among different communities nationally and internationally that practise foodways that similarly make creative use of natural resources,” said the UNESCO committee in regard to its decision to add kimchi and kimjang to the list. Personally, it’s always a lot of fun to have an opportunity to take part in the making of kimchi! It’s an activity that’s fun and tiring, but ultimately extremely satisfying.Come autumn, kimchi festivals and kimchi cooking classes offer a lot of opportunities to let foreigners experience the spirit of sharing and making something together - definitely worth trying! -- source link
