Wow, it's not so common nowadays but he even got the drinking custom of turning away from your superiors down at the end there!
Kimchi is the heart of Korean cuisine but at the same time, because it's so important and therefore recreated wherever we go, I think it's really open to variation depending what's available to the person making it. My grandmother made some of the best kimchi I've had in my life growing up; her baechu kimchi recipe included octopus on account of the region she came from and chili peppers homegrown, dried, and ground from a non-Korean variety available where we lived.
A bit long, but all to say it's very fun seeing a cuisine and culture I'm close to depicted.
