Ian_Lee Posted March 5, 2004 at 07:35 PM Report Share Posted March 5, 2004 at 07:35 PM Seaweed and dog meat hold the biggest culinary difference between Cantonese and Koreans. For seaweed, Cantonese considers it as the extremely "Yin" food. If a girl has an unwanted pregnancy, she will try to get rid of the fetus by constantly drinking seaweed soup. Cantonese believe that it will lead to a miscarriage. But what about the Koreans? Korean customs believe that seaweed will help pregnant women recuperate. So they constantly eat seaweed soup before and after delivery. For dog meat eating , the difference is more extreme. Cantonese only eat dog meat under extreme cold weather. But Koreans only eat them in the hottest summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
