Fruits & Vegetables
In North Korea, there exists no famine but a noticeable scarcity of fruits and vegetables. This scarcity contributes to the popularity of apples and cabbages as dietary staples. However, the limited availability of protein-rich foods impacts the average height of North Koreans compared to their counterparts in South Korea. People have resorted to hunting frogs and turtles for sustenance to address this protein deficiency. Street food vendors in major North Korean cities offer items such as sausage sticks, ice cream, popcorn, and steamed meat buns as alternative sources of nutrition.
On the other hand, South Korea, especially Seoul, boasts a diverse culinary landscape that includes a rich national cuisine and a wide variety of European dishes, providing residents and visitors with a broad spectrum of dining options.
