What is this I get in vietnamese restaurants? Nobody ever seems to know the english word for it. You can see it in this blog accompanying the spring roll. I thought it was pickled root of lemon grass or scallion.

I also love Italian giardiniera.

I think in colder regions of asia...they pickle their veggies because it will last longer thru winter...as for Taiwan, i think they just like to mimic japanese culture/fads...

I eat relish with my hotdog and wedge of pickle with my sammich if that's what you're asking. Pickled veggies served at korean restaurant on the other hand is fucking nasty. If it doesn't smell good, and it doesn't look good, I'm not eating it.

lol, pickling is not unique to Japan. Besides, japan did rule Taiwan for a long time so it is not surprising to find Japanese influence in Taiwan. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taiwan

Taiwanese food does include pickles. Fried Stinky Tofu is always served with pickled "Korean" cabbage. No idea why they are called Korean cabbage, maybe they originated there. But my understanding is it's a Chinese cabbage. It's unlike western cabbage in that it is not as fibrous and is not spherical. Shaped more like a whole cheddar cheese.
