It is difficult for Chaoshan cuisine to get out of Guangdong and Guangxi because of the different tastes and the requirements of raw materials.

Everyone's diet in Guangdong is light. The taste of roast goose is sweet in Chaoshan, and salty in Shantou. Generally, it is eaten directly without dipping in sauce. This kind of taste reflects that Cantonese people pay attention to the taste of the ingredients themselves, and will not be overwhelmed by the taste of condiments, and pay attention to the aroma of roast goose itself.

In foreign markets, for people who are used to paying attention to the taste in Jiangxi, Hunan, Hubei and even northern areas, this taste is simply "no taste". The difference of people's diet in different places leads to different characteristics in each place, so if you want to eat authentic roast goose, you still have to go to Guangdong.
