    Speaking of rural funerals, there must be no small farmers who know better, because the uncle of the small farmers is to make flowing water seats, since childhood with the uncle mixed in the banquet of ten miles and eight villages, the funeral culture is also understood, we are a border town in the northeast, don't look at the place is small, pay more attention to it, after all, once in ancient times, it was also a very rich place. The following small farmers will tell you some brief introductions to our funeral cuisine:

    The first most taboo dish for funerals in our place is tofu, basically you can't see tofu at the funeral banquet, tofu actually has a certain meaning, because tofu has a metaphor of "one poor and two white" in the folk, and red and white things are happy events for rural people, after all, although it is good for rural people to live, but it is not necessary to trouble children and grandchildren to friends too much when they are dying, so it is a good thing to go innocently, but you must not put tofu at the banquet, because people are in the paste. One poor and two white", that is a great disrespect for the deceased, so tofu must not appear.

    The second is that there can be no pairs of dishes, such as the meatballs can not be put in a double number, the fish can not be draped in half, the prawns must be a singular number, why can't you put a double number, if you put a double number, the people sitting at the table will think that you are cursing them to go together, After all, there is a saying in the countryside that "good things come in pairs", so there must not be even number dishes.

    There is also a custom that you can't make dishes with the word "red", after all, red and white things are still relative, although red and white are happy events in the countryside, but if there are red letters on the funeral banquet, then the host will think that you are celebrating the departure of the deceased, so the general banquet will not appear red dishes, such as braised elbow, braised carp and so on can not appear.

    First, dishes with red colors and dishes with the word "red" cannot be served.

    We often talk about red and white, red things refer to marriage, which is very festive; And white things refer to mourning, which is very sad. In the countryside, two colors are generally used, one is white and the other is black. Both of these colors are very solemn and are used to show respect and mourning for the deceased.

    If you serve a dish with red colors or the word "red", it is a great disrespect to the deceased and will be scolded. Therefore, braised dishes such as "braised pork", "braised fish" and "braised lion's head" cannot be served at the funeral.

    Second, dishes in pairs cannot be served.

    Pairs of dishes also carry blessings and auspicious meanings, and they are also very shy to avoid at the time of funeral. If such a dish is served, it means a curse, and I hope that the family will die again. Who likes that?

    Therefore, dishes such as "mandarin duck fish" and "kissing fish" cannot be served. These fish are all paired when cooked, which has a good meaning, but they must not be seen in the funeral.

    Thirdly, dishes made with oranges and pears cannot be served.

    Oranges and pears cannot be served, which has something to do with their homophony. In the past, people were very superstitious, and they paid attention to having an auspicious fortune in everything they did. The homonym of "orange" is "juezi", so if the orange is served on the table, it is a curse to cut off the children and grandchildren, which is very hateful.

    And "pear" and "leave" are homonyms, if the pear is served on the table, it is a curse that the family will be "separated", and something bad will happen. This is all very unlucky.

    In the past, people had a lot of taboos about white things, and some of them didn't understand what was going on if they didn't study it. Now some taboos have begun to be slowly eliminated by everyone, young people know less about this aspect, and everyone believes in science more, and these feng shui superstitions are slowly downplayed.

    Which dish is the most taboo for funerals in rural areas? In fact, today's young people are paying less and less attention, whether it is a red thing or a white thing, the difference in recipes is getting smaller and smaller, in the past, when the funeral was done, it was the village people who came to help, and now they are all service teams, you can summarize such a sentence, as long as the money is in place, everything is not a problem.

    The main family cares most about letting the villagers eat and drink well and greet the guests well, as for the recipes for funerals, there is not much attention to it.

    But as a chef, there must be a difference between the funeral banquet and the wedding banquet, for example, during the funeral, the waiter's clothes are green, and the happy event is naturally based on red.

    The arrangement on the dining table is also exquisite, and now the countryside is used for funerals or happy events, all of which are tablecloths, which are disposable plastic tablecloths, and the marriage is naturally red, and the funerals are naturally white.

    As for the recipes, the average person really doesn't know what the difference is, as long as everyone drinks well and eats well, there is really not too much attention, of course, we eat here in the morning is the same as the Zangzi noodles, whether it is a marriage or a funeral, the villagers value this bowl of Zangzi noodles the most, as for the requirements for the dishes, it is really not that high.

    But for chefs, the difference is still very big, and now the level of chefs is getting higher and higher, they refer to the banquet standards of large hotels, and all kinds of high-end dishes are also placed on the table.

    Some places can't serve braised dishes at funerals, such as braised beef, braised fish, braised chicken nuggets, and some people say that dog meat can't be served, and dog meat can't be served on the table, which is almost a taboo for chefs, and some local dishes can't be doubled, such as putting two fish on a plate or a lion's head, etc., but we haven't had two fish on a plate here.

    Nowadays, there are fewer and fewer dishes, and many dishes have been eliminated, such as the stewed dishes that were indispensable in the past, and many new dishes have been added, many of which are processed in advance, or directly purchased just to warm up at the time of the banquet.
