On the culinary map of Asia, pork belly is a mouth-watering specialty. In China, pork belly is a home-cooked dish and is loved by the general public. When Koreans are surprised by the daily consumption of pork belly by Chinese, it not only reflects the difference in eating habits between the two countries, but also the comparison of economic levels.
Pork belly is not only a delicacy in China, but also a symbol of culture. It is cooked in a variety of ways, including braised dishes, sweet and sour soups, stewed soups, etc., and each dish contains a rich cultural connotation. And it is often used to entertain guests and show the hospitality of the host.
In South Korea, due to its unique geography and agricultural conditions, the ** of fresh vegetables and meat is relatively high, which puts pressure on some families to buy everyday ingredients. In particular, pork belly, despite its popularity, is expensive and has become a luxury.
South Korea's mountainous terrain and limited plains limit agricultural development. This, combined with the fact that the climate is not suitable for the growth of certain crops, has led to high levels of vegetables and fruits**. At the same time, the livestock industry is also facing the challenge of high feed costs and low production efficiency, which has pushed up meat**, and pork belly has become an expensive ingredient.
Although Koreans love the taste of pork belly, many families can only afford it on special occasions because it is expensive. For some low-income families, pork belly is even a luxury.
Koreans have a special affection and memory for pork belly, and it is often used to entertain VIPs or celebrate special occasions. When they heard that Chinese daily consumption of pork belly, they couldn't help but be surprised and curious.
Chinese's daily consumption of pork belly reflects the rapid development of China's economy. China's economic strength is not only reflected in high-rise buildings and statistics, but also in daily life. China's large markets and abundant resources provide people with a diverse selection of ingredients, allowing people to taste cuisines from all over the world.
South Koreans are surprised and confused when they hear about Chinese's daily consumption of meat, and this surprise reflects South Koreans' reflection on their own economic situation. Although South Korea is regarded as an economically developed country, many Koreans still face problems such as high prices and stressful lives.
In South Korea, food and consumer goods** are generally high, making life stressful for many families. At the same time, high housing prices make it difficult for many young people to afford housing. This has led South Koreans to re-examine whether their economic development has truly benefited ordinary people and how to improve people's livelihoods.
The differences in food culture between China and South Korea also reflect the cultural, historical, and geographical differences between the two countries. Today, with increasingly close exchanges and cooperation, this cultural difference is not only a scenic line of relations between the two countries, but also an important bridge to promote mutual understanding and exchanges between the two countries.

It is hoped that through more cultural exchanges in the future, the people of all countries can enhance mutual understanding and friendship and jointly create a harmonious and prosperous world.
