밥 literally means "cooked rice," but Korean people commonly use it to mean "a meal" in general, regardless of whether the meal actually contains rice.

For example:
저는 아침에 일찍 일어났어요 = I woke up early in the morning
저는 아침을 먹었어요 = I ate breakfast
The same applies to 점심 and 저녁.
examples: - ko: 저는 **아침식사**로 밥을 먹었어요 en: I ate rice for **breakfast** - ko: 저는 **아침**에 일찍 일어났어요 en: I woke up early in the **morning** - ko: 저는 **아침**을 먹었어요 en: I ate **breakfast** - ko: 점심(식사) ko_text: 점심 en: lunch notes: |Like 아침, 점심 can stand alone (without 식사 attached) to mean "lunch," and context makes it clear whether "lunch" is meant. Unlike 아침, 점심 does not separately mean "midday" the way 아침 means "morning" — in everyday use, 점심 simply refers to the meal.
examples: - ko: "**점심**으로 뭐 먹고 싶어요?" en: What do you want to eat for **lunch**? - ko: "**점심**을 먹었어?" en: Did you eat **lunch**? - ko: "**점심**으로 뭐 먹었어요?" en: What did you eat for **lunch**? - ko: "**점심**은 어땠어요?" en: How was **lunch**? - ko: "**점심**을 누가 냈어요?" en: Who paid for **lunch**? - ko: 저녁(식사) ko_text: 저녁 en: dinner notes: |Like 아침, 저녁 can be used alone (without 식사 attached) to mean "dinner." 저녁 also means "evening," and just as with 아침, context makes it clear whether the speaker means "evening" or "dinner." For example:
저는 저녁에 운동해요 = I exercise in the evening
저는 저녁을 먹었어요 = I ate dinner

There are many types of kimchi, but when Korean people just say "김치" without specifying, they usually mean the kimchi made from Korean cabbage (배추). The full name "배추김치" is rarely necessary — "김치" alone is understood to mean this type.

감자 also means "potato" in Korean, so many foreigners (and even some younger Korean people) incorrectly assume that 감자탕 should contain potatoes. You'll often see potatoes in 감자탕, but this is reportedly a modern phenomenon caused by people ordering 감자탕 and arguing that there should be potatoes in their "potato stew."
examples: - ko: "**감자탕**에는 감자가 없을 수도 있어요" en: "**Gamjatang** might not have any potatoes in it" notes: Generated by Claude - ko: "**감자탕**을 먹으러 가자" en: Let's go eat **gamjatang** notes: Generated by Claude - ko: 부대찌개 en: Army soup notes: |During the Korean war, the US military used to give extra food to Korean people on the street. This usually consisted of things like hot-dogs and other similar items, so Korean people at the time took all the ingredients and made a stew out of it.
