Oh sure, if you're ready to have lots of large pots of fermenting kimchi around your place, there is nothing to stop you making it at home. If you have a garden, you could even bury the pots in the time-honoured fashion.

I am going to a party thrown by a korean family next weekend. Now, I am told that the mother's an excellent cook. But I don't care how good they say it is oor how good the rest of the fod is, I am not eating kimchi

I was wrong - sorry.

No need to apologize. I think there's some merit to the idea that all allergens are proteins, seeing as all the components of organic life can be categorized as protein, far, or glucose-derivative. The latter two are hardly ever species-specific so there's no need to mount an immune response against them, if I understand correctly.

That right there is a dang ole shame. I hope they have some other things you enjoy though. I've really only eaten Korean at a few restaurants. 1 of which I will no longer go to as I got amazingly sick after visiting. The other is in the back of a small grocer and is wonderful. But it was better before they revamped it and made it into a "proper" restaurant with English speaking wait staff.
