The life of ordinary people in rural Korea is similar to ours in the sixties and seventies, and the peasants in North Korea have to work collectively every day, and at the end of the year they distribute grain according to the population and labor division. Rural people in North Korea mainly go to the bazaar, and many things in North Korea need tickets. If you don't have a ticket, you'll need to pay a premium to buy it on the free market. The Korean people living in the countryside do not want to get rich, their pursuit is not very high, and their most satisfying thing is to finish work every day and eat a good meal.
What do North Koreans living in rural areas mainly eat on weekdays? Everyone knows that rations in rural Korea are distributed. The staple foods are rice, corn and potatoes. In rural North Korea, you'll find large tracts of farmland grown with rice or corn. Very few other crops are grown. The staple foods are rice and corn, so what is the main dish?
When it comes to what dishes rural people in North Korea eat, I have to mention kimchi. Kimchi is a very famous dish in North Korea and is deeply loved by the urban and rural people of North Korea. Kimchi is inexpensive to make and has a long storage time, so North Koreans stock kimchi at home.
Especially for rural North Koreans, it is inconvenient to buy vegetables, and kimchi has become the first choice. In addition to kimchi, rural North Koreans also like to eat wild vegetables. In rural areas of North Korea, it is common to see North Korean farmers holding bags and collecting wild vegetables in the fields. Like wild mushrooms, wild leeks, etc., Korean rural people often eat them.
The ecological environment of the North Korean countryside is very good, and North Korean farmers can occasionally eat a variety of wild game. For example, rural North Korean men often go to rivers to catch wild fish. In the fields, North Korean farmers can sometimes catch pheasants and rabbits, which become delicacy on their tables. In rural North Korea, some families raise chickens, ducks and pigs, and people in rural North Korea usually eat eggs and duck eggs.
Although cows are often seen in rural North Korea, people in rural North Korea rarely eat beef because cattle are an important tool for livelihood in rural North Korea.
