Meaning and background
The story behind Kimbap
Kimbap names a familiar Korean rice roll wrapped in dried seaweed, usually with a variety of fillings. Korean cultural sources explain its elements as gim, seaweed, and bap, rice; the spelling gimbap is also common in English-language materials. As a dog name it has a particularly specific culinary reference. The history of the dish is debated, so an exact date or single inventor should not be attached to the name.
