North Korean Dog Soup: A Special Luxury Dish?
755 | 2 мес. назад | 25 - 0
As we traveled through North Korea on our tour bus, we spent a lot of time reflecting on what we had seen and asking questions about the North Korean way of life. Our tour guide, a local North Korean who spoke perfect Russian—something that felt a bit unusual—explained one of the country's most famous traditional dishes: dog soup, or "dangogi" (단고기).
According to our guide, dog soup is not an everyday meal but a luxury dish, usually eaten on special occasions or during the hottest summer days to boost stamina, following the belief of "yiyeolchiyeol"—fighting heat with heat. This practice dates back centuries, with historical records showing dog meat consumption in ancient Korean kingdoms.
We were given the option to order this dish in advance before reaching our next destination—a restaurant stop on our tour. While dog meat remains a controversial topic worldwide, in North Korea, it continues to be a culturally significant food, even with the recent construction of a luxury dog meat restaurant in Pyongyang.
Was this an opportunity to experience an authentic North Korean tradition, or was it something we weren’t quite ready to try? Watch as we navigate this unique part of North Korean cuisine.
