Why do you think there is nothing to eat in Korea?

As an international student studying in Korea, I want to talk about it based on my own experience. I have to admit the first few points. In terms of ingredients, compared with China, South Korea's territory is relatively small, and its products are not so rich. Many ingredients need to pay high import taxes to get them. Shopping in the supermarket, there is a feeling that there is little choice. In cooking methods, they avoid greasy Chinese style, thus giving people a feeling of indifference. In addition, Lamian Noodles, kimchi, soy sauce and other fast food and fermented food, as an indispensable part of Korean diet, give people a sense of poverty and poverty. However, if we study it carefully, Korean food actually has many characteristics of its own. Let's talk about the region first. For example, when you mention Quanzhou, you will immediately think of bibimbap in Quanzhou, in which soybean sprouts and raw meat slices are the most authentic condiments; Speaking of Busan, pork soup, rice and fish cake are essential. Even, the fish cake shop in Busan is creatively designed as a bakery, which can be heated and eaten on the spot, and chain stores are waiting to see almost every walk; Another example is the black pork in Jeju Island, the sizzling chicken in Chuncheon, the saury in Pohang, the raw octopus in Mokpo, etc ... Each region will have different specialties according to its own geographical environment and historical development. And according to different regions, cooking methods are also very different, such as white soup in the north and red soup in the south. Including myself, I often feel that there is nothing delicious in Korea. Why is this misunderstanding caused? I thought it over. In fact, because their original area is relatively small, food from different places will not spread to each other, and as international students, we spend most of our time in the same place. You see, in China, the territory is vast, and there are many delicious foods everywhere. At the same time, the spread speed is also very fast-you can also eat authentic mutton buns in the south and a bowl of snail powder in the north. But it can't be done in South Korea, so the foods that come into contact with most are Lamian Noodles, pickles and convenience store lunches that can be seen everywhere. Then we will naturally have the idea that there is nothing to eat in Korea. So if there is an opportunity, I still want to go to Korea and experience different cultures and cuisines.
