Ask A North Korean Ask a North Korean: What do N. Koreans eat that Southerners don’t?"When you fall ill in North Korea, the first thing that comes to your mind is a dish of rabbit"
Every week, we ask a North Korean your questions, giving you the chance to learn more about the country we know so little about. Today’s question is: What do North Koreans eat that Southerners don’t? We eat rabbits, horses and birds in North Korea. Rabbits, especially, are the most popular delicacy for people who place importance on well-being and health. But while South Koreans turn to chickens for vitalization, Northerners choose to eat rabbits for health. It is very rare for South Koreans to eat rabbits. I have yet to see or hear of any Southerners consuming rabbits for their meat. © Korea Risk Group. All rights reserved. |
