As prices rise, it is no longer possible to use the word “common people” for foods that used to be called common people’s food. Korea’s consumer price index fell slightly from August (6.3%) to October, but the fresh food index remained high, exceeding 12.8% and 90%, respectively. Overseas is no exception, China’s pork prices soared 40 percent, and Britain’s consumer price growth rose 10 percent in September to a record high due to soaring food prices.
Restaurant prices are constantly rising, and the prices of bibimbap, kimchi stew, jajangmyeon, and kimbap, which could be eaten lightly, are no longer light. Cold noodles, which used to be a commoner’s dish in summer, are now said to be an old saying. Due to the rise in buckwheat prices, Pyeongyang naengmyeon, which has the highest buckwheat index, has the highest price increase among restaurant items, and is recording a high price among naengmyeon. So, for this winter, I summarized the price of a famous Pyeongyang naengmyeon restaurant that now uses the word “golden naengmyeon,” not plain naengmyeon.
