When my mother, sister and I first came over to the UK back in the 90s, mum couldn't dream about moving to a new country without kimchi and gochujang, so packed loads in the hold luggage.
Several kilos of Kimchi which basically depressurised in the cargo hold and went over all our stuff.
Held in Gatwick immigration for about 8 hours for questioning, a distraught non-english speaking women with a 1 & 5 year old, everything smelling of garlic and fermented cabbage, until my dad who was already in the country working had to come translate and bail us out.
Kimchi is life
