Seek the difference between the food culture of the north and the south

I think there are a few differences:

1.The staple food is different, the north is dominated by pasta, and the south is rice.

2.The ingredients are different, the north likes the food with big oil and meat, while the south is light and elegant food.

3.The cooking is different, the north prefers stews only left, and the south is stir-fried, fried and other refreshing practices.

4.The taste difference is that the north is salty, and the south is sweet and sour.

Pasta is the main food in the north, and rice is the main food in the south. In the north, eat more dry food and drink less soup. And how can there be no soup in the south? The taste in the north is heavier, and there are also heavy taste areas in the south, but the overall taste is light. The variety of food in the north is far less than in the south, and the south is more numerous and complex.

There are differences between the diet of the north and the south in terms of staple foods, cuisines, and the amount of dishes. The south is suitable for growing rice, the staple food is rice of defeat, and the north is suitable for growing wheat, and the staple food is steamed buns, dumplings, Da Mingmin cakes, noodles, etc. The cuisines in the north are mostly Shandong cuisine, and the cuisines in the south include Sichuan cuisine, Cantonese cuisine, Hunan cuisine, Zhejiang cuisine, Fujian cuisine, Suzhou cuisine, Hui cuisine, etc.

The northern dishes are sufficient, do not pay attention to the fine cooking process and the name of the dish, and buy vegetables generally by the pound, with a large amount of dishes and simple workmanship.

The dishes are delicate and delicate, the production process is complicated, and the knife work, cooking heat, plating, etc., are small. Stirring up dead branches.

The south drinks soup before meals and drinking, the north drinks soup after meals, the south eats rice cakes during the Chinese New Year, the north eats dumplings, the southern zongzi are salty, and the northern zongzi are sweet.

1. Salted rice dumplings.

Every Dragon Boat Festival, the north and south will set off the "salty and sweet dispute" of zongzi, northerners love to eat sweet zongzi, but southerners love to eat salty zongzi, and the filling of salty zongzi is strange, salted egg yolk zongzi, red lack of attack roast meat zongzi are small scenes, bean curd zongzi, stinky tofu zongzi have you seen? My northern friend ate stinky tofu dumplings, barely ate one, and couldn't hold back and didn't vomit.

2. Salted glutinous rice balls.

What to eat during the Lantern Festival, Sun pretends to be a worm and the northerners eat the Lantern Festival, and the southerners eat tangyuan. The Lantern Festival is shaken out, so the filling is very sweet, such as bean paste filling, peanut filling, sesame filling, etc., first kneaded into a round ball, and then dipped in water and put into glutinous rice flour to shake.

But the glutinous rice balls are wrapped and can be all-encompassing, in addition to sweet, there are also various salty flavors, as long as you like to eat, you can wrap them. For example, when a northern friend ate a rice ball with pork stuffing with shepherd's cabbage, he ate one and said directly, is this a rice ball? Isn't it just dumplings?

3. Mugwort. Mugwort is also called Qingtuan, which is a traditional snack that southerners want to eat before and after the Qingming Festival, and it is also made of glutinous rice flour, with sweet and salty tastes. But the northern friends are reluctant again, the texture and taste of salted mugwort are the same as salty rice balls.

And the sweet mugwort is too sweet, with a strong smell of wormwood, which is not delicious, how can you eat such a strange food?

In fact, the mugwort I wrapped is not sweet, but the mugwort sold outside has a lot of sugar in it, and it tastes very sweet.

4. Sweet tofu brain.

Speaking of tofu brain, like zongzi and glutinous rice balls, there is also a "salty and sweet dispute", living in the south for more than 20 years, the tofu brain eaten is sweet, and you can eat it with a spoonful of sugar. And I have lived in the north for ten years, and I have seen that the tofu brains in the north are all salty, not just add a spoonful of salt, but also all kinds of marinade, just like eating lo mein.

A friend from the north came to the south and bought her a bowl of sweet tofu brain, which contained honey red beans, coconut milk, and sugar, which tasted sweet and buried, but she was not used to eating it, saying that it was not as delicious as salty tofu brain, and it tasted tasteless, only sweet.

5. Snail powder.

Snail noodles, a "notorious" southern food, is a special delicacy in Liuzhou, Guangxi, there is already a "convenience package", you can buy it on the Internet, or that recipe, you don't have to go to Liuzhou in person, you can taste that smell.

My friend in Liuzhou said that he could eat snail noodles three times a day, and he couldn't get tired of eating them, but he sent some snail noodles to a friend in the north, but when he ate them, he vomited nausea, and his family told him to throw them away quickly, how could he eat such stinky food. In fact, if you taste it carefully, the snail noodles smell bad, and they still taste very fragrant.

The "south rice and north noodles" that everyone often says is that the people in the guide side love white rice, and the northerners like noodles. Although the Northeast is a rice manufacturing industry base, the key target of rice in the Northeast is not the Northeast people, but is exported to other parts of the country. In terms of pastry, white rice must be served with several exquisite dishes, so some people say that the pedigree of the northern region is mainly based on "eat full", while the southern region has a recipe for food pairing.

China's liquor culture is very rich and colorful, and there are also differences between the north and the south. From the point of view of drinking, northerners are bold and like to drink in small bowls, while southerners like to drink slowly, and in general, the average value of alcohol in the north exceeds that of southerners. But in terms of the origin of the wine, it is the southern region that has the upper hand:

The specific origin of China's pure grain wine may be in the southern region, such as the well-known Kweichow Moutai, Sichuan Wuliangye, etc. People in the north and south generally like to drink in summer, but in winter, northerners prefer to drink, while in the south of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, they prefer to drink rice wine, such as Shaoxing daughter red, Shanghai water wine, etc.

There are eight key cuisines in China: Sichuan cuisine, Shandong cuisine, Cantonese cuisine, Suzhou cuisine, Zhejiang cuisine, Fujian cuisine, Hunan cuisine, and Shandong cuisine. Among them, except for Kailu cuisine, which is a major cuisine in the northern region, the others are all southern cuisines.

The difference in the types of cuisine immediately reflects the sufficiency of raw materials and their focus on "eating" culture and art.

In addition to the different types of cuisine, there are also differences in the way people eat in the north and south. As far as drinking soup is concerned, the soup drunk by southerners is served as a dish, such as Guangzhou, Fujian and other areas drink soup before meals and before drinking, and this kind of regional soup is very famous. In Guangdong and Hainan, the southern provinces of China, everyone will drink soup before and after eating the staple food, and only after completing the procedure of drinking soup before a meal and drinking soup after the meal is full, can it be regarded as having eaten a whole meal.

Northerners drink soup all year round, more often in winter, and after meals, but soup in northern regions is generally not served as a dish.

Southerners' hot pot sauce: a spoonful of light soy sauce, vinegar, oil consumption, green onions, Xianglai, millet spicy, spicy sauce, minced garlic, pepper oil, then sprinkle some crushed peanuts and sesame seeds, pour two spoons of soup, and stir. Northerners' hot pot sauce:

One spoonful of sesame juice, two tablespoons of sesame juice, three spoonfuls of sesame juice. Add a little leek and tofu, more and more and then put some fragrant.

The difference is particularly large, and people in the north and south are different in many aspects, such as southerners prefer to eat sweet things, and northerners prefer to eat salty things.

The gap between the food culture of the south and the north can be said to be particularly large, because the temperature in the south and the north is not the same, and the things eaten are not the same every time, and the north is particularly cold now, and the south is particularly hot.

The difference is very big, the food culture and dining etiquette of the two places are different, the food eaten is different, and there are different characteristics.
