Hey, Buckytom, you can move in next door. I'm willing to concede that a man (especially one with a rototiller) can turn up that hard soil much faster, easier, and better than I can. Hubby has limits to the help he can give me, so I just do less and less every year. I've eaten Korean food in restaurants and homes all over the place (most often the DC area, Florida, and out west) (unfortunately the only Korean food around here is a Claire's house) and I think that how much people are willing to adjust their cuisine depends on who is going to eat it. I had potato kimchee in Hawaii, which no one else I've met has ever heard of; it was obviously something the cook came up with when experimenting. My favorite Koreaen place in Florida would put bulgogi on a bun and have the traditional sides for any hamburger or steak sandwich, and it was a to-go hit with the local business people who didn't care for their more traditional dishes.
