In Yunnan, there is a saying called "Eighteen Monsters of Yunnan". There are several phrases about food, such as 'three mosquitoes and a plate of vegetables', 'fava beans and peanuts are sold on a counting basis', and 'grasshoppers are used as a drinking dish', etc. This shows that Yunnan's eating habits are different from others. It can be seen that Yunnan eating habits are different.

Yunnan in China's map is located in a special geographical position, in the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau, the climate is special, coupled with the diversity of ethnic groups, resulting in Yunnan has a rich and colorful food habits and ingredients. To be honest, when I first came to Yunnan, it is difficult to accept their eating habits here, it is difficult to accept their meals, let's say that we in the north are eating noodles at noon, here surprisingly, noodles are the most common breakfast, only the morning supply, aigoo my stomach ah, never eat noodles in the morning, suddenly ate once, to the evening feel the noodles have not been digested.

Later, with the increase in the time of life here, I came into contact with the Yunnan cuisine and specialties more, then slowly change the original view, gradually like the Yunnan cuisine. Yunnan cuisine on the one hand is the material is unique, most of the natural ingredients from the mountains, green and healthy is I like and choose Yunnan cuisine is an important reason. Let's say, Yunnan every rainy season, the mountains will produce all kinds of edible mushrooms, chanterelle mushrooms, porcini mushrooms, green head mushrooms, tea tree mushrooms and other rare mushrooms, flavorful and delicious, they are either fried and marinated, or stewed in a pot of mountain chicken, adding a variety of mushrooms, the flavor of the delicious, mushrooms, or sticky, or chewy, exuding the breath of the mountains and fresh aroma. Eat once to let a person recall the memory.

Yunnan cuisine practices are diverse, a variety of ways to eat an ingredient, take the most common pork, they can do here to eat fresh meat, of course, the most famous is the cured meat, must Xuanwei ham we have heard of, this is the Yunnan cured pork is the most successful of a brand, but also a brand of the old, cured pork salty and tasty, very chewy. To the restaurant to order a plate of fried ham or bacon, multiplied by a bowl of rice, eat really extremely comfortable. Their pork here can also be smoked, their approach to pork far beyond our northern people's technology, did not come to Yunnan before, always think that pork is either boiled to eat, or fried to eat, never thought there will be so many delicious practices. It's no surprise that it made me salivate.

Another reason I like and choose Yunnan cuisine is that it is spicy. We all know that there are many regions that like to eat hot peppers, Sichuan eat hot, Hubei eat hot, Shandong eat hot, but Sichuan's hot is straight hot, Hubei's hot is dry hot, Shandong's hot is salty hot, I think the only Yunnan's hot is mercurial hot, free of spicy hot addictive, spicy spicy praise, spicy appetite. Their approach to chili peppers is also very unique, eating method is also very unique, made into dipping water, made into spicy oil, made into pickled chili peppers. The favorite is the chili pepper dip! When you eat, they never put chili pepper in the pot, but for you to prepare dipping water or chili oil, so that you are free to choose according to their own good choice to put or not to put chili pepper, how much to put is also with their own will.

Colorful ingredients, mushrooms in the mountains, fragrant beef jerky, Xuanwei ham, waxed pork ribs, millet chili, Shan Shan dipping water, copper pot rice, flavorful soup thick bridge rice noodle are all the reasons why I chose Yunnan cuisine. Green and healthy, rich and varied, strange flavor, I have fallen y in love with Yunnan cuisine!
