so why are Koreans into chilli when Japanese aren\u2019t

\n\n\n

Because they\u2019re different countries with different culinary cultures?

\n
\n

yeh but why

\n
\n\n\n

from the Japanese perspective, Korea is associated with abundance of red meat

\n

I mean from the English perspective, Ireland was the land of butter and beef, or abundant wheat, even as the Irish associated the colonial period with cheap starches like potatoes and oats, or starvation
