Among the subjects, 37.2% liked gruel because of 'special treat' or 'easy to digest', The reason of dislike of gruel was absence of chew or cumbersome cooking. They usually cooked gruel at home, and considered that goods on the market were expensive or unsanitary. The highly perceptive gruel was Potjook, Dakjook, Hobakjook.
