Abstract
A survey was conducted of 1,390 citizens of Cheongju city', asking them to select 10 foods that they think are most suitable as local among 89 already- recognized local foods. The data were then analyzed by age, gender, and vocation. The results classified by sex showed that for males, first place was marsh snail soup (282), second, acorn jelly soup (174), third, bean noodle (164), and fourth, three-tiered pork and Haejang soup (158). In females, marsh snail was in first place (520), second, acorn jelly soup (322), third, bean noodle (272), fourth, three-tiered pork (271), and fifth, Haejang soup (262). Combining the results of males and females showed first place was marsh snail soup (802), second, acorn jelly soup (496), third, bean noodle (436), fourth, three-tiered pork (429), fifth, Haejang soup (420), sixth, wild plant mixture rice (323), seventh, Boshin broth (322), and eighth, minced chicken soup (321). The classification by vocation of males and females showed that fewer housewives chose three-tiered pork, while fewer clerks chose less wild plant mixture rice. Instead, housewives and clerks chose more Boshin broth and minced-chicken soup, which other males chose less. However, it is unreasonable to select wild plant mixture rice, bean noodle, or Boshin broth as the favorite local food since these can be eaten or collected only during the summer season.
청주시민 1,390명에게 기존에 향토 음식으로 조사되었던 89개 음식에 대하여 청주시의 향토 음식으로 적합한 것을 10개씩 선택하라고 설문조사를 하여 연령별, 성별, 직업별로 분석하였다. 성별 성별 결과에서 남자는 1위 올갱이국(282), 2위는 도토리묵밥(174), 3위는 콩국수(164), 4위는 삼겹살과 해장국(158)을 나타냈고, 여자는 1위 올갱이국(520), 2위는 도토리묵밥 {322), 3위는 콩국수(272), 4위는 삼겹살(271), 5위는 해장국(262)이 차지하였다. 남녀를 합한 결과는 1위는 올갱이국(802명), 2위는 도토리묵밥(496명), 3위는 콩국수(436), 4위는 삼겹살(429명), 5위는 해장국(420명), 6위는 산채 비빔밥(323명), 7위는 보신탕(322명), 8위는 닭도리탕(321)이 차지하였다. 성별 직업별 결과에서 주부는 삼겹살을 적게 택하였고, 회사원은 산채 비빔밥을 적게 택한 대신 다른 직업에서 적게 택한 보신탕과 닭도리 탕을 많이 택하였다. 그러나 이들 중 콩국수와 산채 비빔밥, 보신탕은 여름에만 먹거나 여름에만 재료가 나므로 향토 음식으로 보기에는 무리가 있다.
