Re: TorisMAO

[(Anonymous)]

This is a very old post but I just wanted to make a note- this immediately stood out to me as classic Chinese Nationalism, because something Chinese nationalists on social media have been banging away hardcore on for the last few years is that kimchi is totally Chinese and stolen by Koreans, and it's anti-Chinese propaganda that kimchi is known globally as a Korean dish, with a Korean name. Because pickling cabbage is uniquely Chinese and no other culture in East Asia pickled foods until China made contact. Obviously.

I am 95% sure this is what that person was trying to allude to.

SA

Also there have been several popular Chinese historical TV shows centered on cooking that outright depict blatant internationally-well-known examples of Korean cuisine (ssam, tteokbokki, kimchijjigae, bibimbap, yakgwa) and go "look at this ancient traditional Chinese food!"

That's hilarious. I'm fairly sure pickling cabbage is just a human thing that happens in a culture when there's people and there's cabbage.

i was about to post that lmao, people kinda everywhere figured out that pickled cabbage tasted kinda good, and well was easy to preserve that way back then

Considering how many cultures pickled assorted vegetables in history... I really don't think China gets to own pickling cabbage. And to claim its anti Chinese propaganda that someone else did the same thing as them in their region and has the popular name for it worldwide...

I wish I had the free time these people do.
