Why are pancake fruits called pancake fruits

The fruit refers to the thin crispy bun in the pancake, which belongs to fried food. Wrap fried dough sticks in pancakes (with eggs) (called steamed buns in Tianjin, most of Hebei, Leling City, Qingyun County, northern Shandong and other places), so it is called "pancake steamed buns".

Steamed bread is fried food. Wrap fried dough sticks or fruit grate (called thin crispy in Beijing) in pancakes (with eggs) and put some chopped green onions and smear some sauce, and the fritters or coke grate are fruits, so they are called "pancake fruits".

Pancakes and fruits are a snack for Tianjin people. It is composed of mung bean flour pancakes, eggs, and fried dough sticks or crispy "fruit grates", with noodle sauce, minced green onions, chili sauce (optional), bean curd (optional) as condiments, the taste is salty and fragrant, today's pancake bun raw materials are not limited to mung bean noodles spread into pancakes, but also soybean noodles, black bean noodles and so on.

The fruit is the fritter. In Tianjin, northern Shandong, and Hebei, they are all called "fruits" with fritters. Pancakes are made from ordinary white flour mixed into a batter, and of course you can also mix green onions, leeks and the like in them, and you can make them on a small pan.

Pancake fruit is a snack in Tianjin, which is made of mung bean noodles and then spread out into a cake on a large pan, wrapped in fritters or thin crispy, and there is still a difference between the two.

The reason why it has a fruit is because it is wrapped in fritters or a thin crisp, so it was originally called "pancake wrapping", but later due to the change in the pronunciation of the language, it became the current pancake fruit.

Similarly, the pancakes in Tianjin are not the same as the pancakes in Shandong. Shandong pancakes are thin, tough, and dry, and they will not be bad if they are left for a month. Pancakes in Tianjin, thick and soft.

The current Tianjin "pancake fruit" has also been improved, with an egg on the pancake, then rolled with fritters or small hemp leaves, and a piece of lettuce. All kinds of flavors.

The second is that I think the subject may have misunderstood the word "fruit" in the literal "pancake fruit", and felt that there should be a fruit in it, so I had doubts. It's hard to recount this matter, and it's generally believed that it's because the word "man" in the alias of "man" is not usually used, and it's a little rare, which is not conducive to doing small business.

Moreover, the meaning of the Chinese character "馃" is very simple, it was originally a general term for dim sum, and later it was used as a name for fritters, so the name "pancake man" is not surprising. There is also a saying that the Tianjin accent is called fried (four tones) cake (four tones) wrapped (two tones) (flat tongue soft voice), which is to describe the ingredients "wrapped" inside with pancakes on the outside. The pancakes are made with mung bean flour as the main ingredient and are made into a paste.

Spread into pancakes, shaped like lotus leaves, thin and soft as paper, and then roll on crispy mallet dumplings (fritters) or steamed dumplings, smear with sauce, bean curd, sprinkle with chopped green onions, fold from the middle and serve, and then spread eggs on the pancakes.

Legend has it that in the last years of the Qing Dynasty, there was an old knife in Shandong Province who was good at eighteen kinds of martial arts. One day he found that two strong men were beating an old man, so he killed two strong men with a knife, and began to flee life, because of hunger, so he and a person made flour into pancakes, and wrapped the "fried Qin stew" into it, and thought that if there was sauce, it would taste better, and the old knife named it "pancake wrapping". Later, Lao Dao settled in Tianjin Wei, and his name was pronounced as "Pancake Fruit", which was the predecessor of Pancake Fruit.

Legend has it that in the last years of the Qing Dynasty, in Shandong Province, a person was nicknamed Lao Dao. He is good at eighteen kinds of martial arts, and he is the best at making knives, which can be described as superb, unmatched. Lao Dao himself is a small businessman, a very docile person, a person who is very particular about martial virtues, and a very patient person.

One day, Lao Dao took a lunch break at home. Suddenly, there was a loud fight outside the door. The old knife turned sideways, and the sound of the fight became even more tragic. The old knife got up, pursed his lips, and walked out of the door.

Two strong men were beating a thin old man. The old knife really couldn't look at it, and shouted loudly to stop the two strong men. "How dare you meddle?

There are people who shovel uneven roads, and there are people who take care of uneven things. Brother, why do you insult an old man? The two strong men looked at the old knife and smiled, "Then you can take care of it."

As he spoke, a punch went straight to the face of the old knife, and the old knife was not ambiguous, he dodged the fist sideways, and split a palm with his hand. The strong man waved his arm and slammed it away, and the other strong man flew up and was about to kick the old knife in the heart. The old knife looked at it, thinking that if I was kicked, I would definitely be pushed to the ground by the two, and at that time I would either be dead or injured, how could a person who studied martial arts be insulted like this, okay!

Today is either you die or I die, the old knife is angry and angry, and he draws out the treasure knife in his waist, and kills the two strong men with three strikes and five divisions.

When the old knife calmed down and thought about everything that happened, it was useless to regret it. Old Knife lost his familiar home. Began a life of fugitives from home.

One day, Lao Dao was really hungry, and when he saw a small bag of flour in his hand and two "fried Qin stews" he picked up, he thought about how to fill his stomach. At this time, the old knife saw a person walking on the opposite side, and when he looked at his face, he knew that this person must be a strange person. The man was holding a steamed bun in his hand, but there were eight folds on it.

The old knife asked, "What is this?" The man replied, "I have made it with flour and meat, and seeing that you are hungry, let's start and eat it together." ”

The old knife pondered at this time.

His knife glowed blindingly in the sunlight. Lao Dao secretly thought, he made buns, I can't think of anything else? Lao Dao thought of cakes, and thought of fried hand hash browns.

The knife ** is the stove, taking advantage of the residual heat, the old knife will pour the noodle soup into the knife noodles, and it will be formed immediately. The old knife was relieved, wanted to eat, and thought of the pancake roll green onion again. So, the "fried Qin stew" that he picked up was packed into it.

Due to hunger, Lao Dao ate more than half of it in three or two bites. The aftertaste is produced, and if there is a sauce, a hot sauce, it must be more delicious. The old knife thought that it should be a name, what should it be called? "Pancakes......Wrapped. "Well, that's what it's called.

This is the predecessor of pancake fruit, "pancake wrapping". It originated in Qingdao, and because the old knife finally settled in Tianjin Wei, coupled with the phonetic change in language, it became "pancake fruit".

He is good at eighteen kinds of martial arts, and he is the best at making swords. Duan Xian was driven out of his hometown by a wicked man for helping an old man who was bullied.

Because of hunger, I thought of pancakes, so I used the knife ** as a stove, and took advantage of the residual heat to pour the noodle soup into the knife noodles, which was immediately formed. When the old knife wanted to eat, he thought of pancake rolls and green onions.
