First of all, South Korea says that Chinese food tastes bad, because Koreans are used to light food and are not used to heavy Chinese food.
As we all know, Koreans are most famous for kimchi. They can't live without kimchi for almost every meal, and even think kimchi is very delicious, but in our view, kimchi is just all kinds of kimchi. Comparatively speaking, Chinese food has a heavy taste and various practices, such as cooking, frying and eating the same food. Moreover, because of the regional differences, many cuisines are also divided, which is an excellent tradition of Chinese civilization with a long history.
For Koreans, they may only accept Cantonese food, because Cantonese food is still relatively light in China, but other Hunan, Sichuan and Northeast dishes are particularly heavy in taste, some of which are spicy and some are greasy. If Koreans taste such dishes, they are definitely not used to it. They will only say that Chinese food tastes terrible in a general way.
Second, Korean spices are expensive and simple, while China food pays attention to color, fragrance and taste.
You know, as a peninsula country, South Korea needs to import a lot of spices, which is expensive, which leads to Koreans rarely putting spices in their cooking, and many of them are cold foods, such as kimchi, sushi and sashimi. They are simply processed, even unprocessed, and can be eaten with a little dipping. Because they have been eating like this since ancient times, they think it is delicious on the earth, and this is the so-called "sitting on a well and watching the sky."
But Chinese food pays attention to color, flavor and taste, not only to look good, but also to taste good. The invention of a dish needs many studies. What seasonings and spices to put are very particular. After all, we believe that "food is the most important thing for the people". In such a vast area of China, there are many delicious foods waiting for us to discover.
Third, there is jealousy, no matter whether it is delicious or not, it will be said that it tastes bad.
We should know that due to different regional and cultural differences, China's diet has a very long history, and China cuisine should be committed to going international. Because of our vast territory, the food we eat is almost self-sufficient, rarely imported and very fresh. However, this is not the case in South Korea. As a peninsula country, they need to import food, which makes their food stale and needs to be preserved by pickling and making kimchi. This also leads Koreans to eat kimchi for almost three meals. Of course, this is a pickle in our country.
Faced with such a situation, Koreans will definitely be jealous. Whether it's delicious or not, he will say it's bad. Chinese food is rich and varied. As a China, you can't say that you have tasted China food, let alone a Korean. Maybe he just tasted a few dishes, or even a dish, which didn't suit his appetite, so he just said that Chinese food was terrible, obviously on purpose.
Fourthly, it is obviously not objective for Koreans to make such an evaluation without eating all the food in China.
There are eight major cuisines in China, namely Luhui, Sichuan, Guangdong, Jiangsu, Fujian, Zhejiang and Hunan. The eight major cuisines have their own characteristics, each with its own strong points, which are very rich and delicious. This is based on the eating habits formed in our region. Culture has a long history since ancient times, and it certainly has its own characteristics and advantages. As a China person, in most cases, you can only get in touch with your local food. If you don't travel and see more, you can rarely eat authentic other foods, so China people won't say that they have eaten all China foods, let alone a Korean. He may have just eaten something that didn't suit his appetite, and then said that Chinese food was terrible. This evaluation is very objective. And the taste of Chinese food is not judged by only a few people.
Nowadays, China cuisine is going international. So many people say it is delicious, but they all praise it. Why do only a few Koreans say it is not good? Isn't this your own reason?
The author's information is:
As the saying goes, it is difficult to adjust. Koreans only eat one kind of food, and they also say that Chinese food tastes terrible. This is a very objective evaluation. Moreover, Koreans are used to a light diet, but they are not used to Chinese food with all colors and flavors. This is the difference in food culture. Then there is the jealousy of Koreans, even if it is delicious, it will be said to be unpalatable.
