US Ambassador to Korea Harry Harris Twitter capture
– US Ambassador Harry Harris re-emphasized the fact that the origin of kimchi was made in Korea in Social Network Service (SNS). It was observed that this was aimed at the claim of’Kimchi originated from China’ recently raised by some Chinese media.
Ambassador Harris wrote on his Twitter account on the 19th, “4 days have passed since I learned kimchi from Chef Lee Hye-jung,” and “I tasted the kimchi I made that day with bowl noodles and a little yakju to match the chilly Saturday afternoon.”
He posted a picture of kimchi, cup ramen and soju on the soban, and also attached a hashtag (originalKimchifromKorea), meaning’Korean-made Kimchi’.
Ambassador Harris said, “There is nothing more Korean than kimchi,” he said at the residence of the US embassy in Jung-dong, Seoul on the 15th, while experiencing cooking kimchi with Lee Hye-jeong, a culinary researcher known as’Big Mama’.
On the 10th, he posted a post on Twitter saying, “I am happy to be able to live in Korea, the originator of kimchi.”
On the 28th of last month, the Chinese nationalist media Hwangu Sibo set the salted vegetable Pao Chai as an international standard, and argued that “Korean kimchi is also a Pao Chai, so now we are the world standard of the kimchi industry.” I bought a backlash.
He also picked up the title of’Korean Media Explosion: Humiliation of Pao Chai’s Succeeding Country’ while conveying the current status of Korean kimchi imports from China.
Kimchi was recognized as an international food standard 19 years ago. More than 180 member countries participate in the International Food Standards Committee (CODEX, Codex) jointly operated by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the International Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) to develop international food standards, guidelines, and code of practice.
In 2001, Korea’s’kimchi’ became a proper noun as an official English name, and Japan’s’Kimuchi’ and other end-country controversies ended controversy.
