Kimchi catching on in Maine

Most Mainers are familiar with sauerkraut, the salt-preserved shredded cabbage dish that came from Eastern Europe and is eaten on its own or tucked into sandwiches such as the Reuben or a hot dog. Fewer folks here are on a first-name basis with kimchi, a spicier fermented concoction made with cabbage and other vegetables that is the national dish of Korea.
