왜 고깃집에서 가위로 고기를 자르나요? (외국에서는 가위를 주방에서만 씀) > 음식/식사 예절

Hello! Thank you so much for your interest in our culture! 😊 The question you asked today is really interesting! That's right, in foreign countries, scissors are usually only used as kitchen tools, but in Korean restaurants, using scissors directly at the table is so natural that it may seem strange. ✂️🥩

I will very kindly tell you why Koreans love to use scissors in meat restaurants! 😉

• 1. Overwhelming convenience and speed! ⚡️
  Koreans have a ‘quick quick’ culture, right? Cutting meat using a knife and cutting board is cumbersome to prepare and requires a lot of washing up, but scissors are a world of convenience because all you have to do is gently hold the meat with the tongs and cut it gently! The biggest advantage is that the flow of the meal is uninterrupted.
• 2. Free control during meals! 😋
  After grilling the meat, you can eat it right away by cutting it to fit your mouth size or to the desired thickness. In particular, side dishes such as kimchi and green onion are much easier to eat if you cut them with scissors, so they are inseparable to Koreans. 'All-purpose tool'It's done!
• 3. Maintain the taste and texture of meat! 🔥
  In fact, if you cut with a knife, the juices of the meat may come out on the blade or be absorbed into the cutting board, but if you cut with scissors, you can cut quickly while minimally touching the meat tissue. The advantage of being able to hold the juice tightly. So you can eat more delicious grilled meat right away!

At first, it may seem strange to see scissors on the table at a restaurant, but once you use them, you will get used to them. Swamp of ConvenienceIt will be hard to get out of it! 😂 Now, next time you go eat pork belly with me, try cutting the meat yourself with scissors! Real pleasure is no joke~ ✨

If you have any questions, please ask anytime! Because it’s so much fun to teach about Korean culture! Let’s go quickly and eat delicious pork belly! 🥓🥢💕
