The reason why Henan cuisine did not enter the eight dishes, to a large extent, as the country's largest wheat-producing areas, Henan's flavorful snacks overshadowed its dishes. But from the Henan cuisine in the history of the reputation and evolution of Henan cuisine, Henan cuisine to become the mother of the eight dishes, overstated, but is definitely a hotbed of incubation. Henan cuisine is "mother of the eight cuisines", more based on the history of China, culture, civilization, the development of the course of judgment, Henan region in the past did have a long time as the center of the existence of a number of dynasties, but with the change of dynasties, the center of the long ago changed dramatically, modern Yu Cuisine. Modern Yu cuisine is not the cuisine that was preserved as the center in the past.
For example, the famous Fujian Sanming Shaxian snacks, Gansu Lanzhou beef noodles in clear soup, can be found in their native China. After all, Henan has its own ramen noodles, and Luoyang's soup dumplings are famous all over the world. From the dishes alone, nowadays, Yu cuisine almost no national influence of the signature dishes. If you have to say something, Luoyang water seat is a typical flavor, but not on behalf of the entire Yu cuisine tastes.
Yu cuisine, east salty, west sour, south spicy, north salty. But these four flavors, in addition to salty, the other are not too enthusiastic, take a "in" word. Nowadays, Yu cuisine is neither as spicy as Sichuan and Hunan cuisine, nor as elegant as the state banquet dishes, more like the magic city of this dish as thick oil and red sauce. Yu cuisine, although a lot of catering masters, there is a chef's hometown, but the radiation of dishes, can be accepted for the majority of the north, but can not unify the south, color, not enough to highlight the exquisite, taste too much to highlight the characteristics of heavy salt. But the flavor is absolutely outstanding!
Yu cuisine, to a certain extent, is based on the main production area of grain crops above the development of wheat. Focus on poultry and meat cooking, water and river changes too conservative, which is not far away from the Lu Cuisine can not be compared. Lu Cuisine do fine, land and sea food, is bound to be fine! The taste of Yu cuisine, in fact, is the taste of the Yellow River and Huaihuai region, this region to eat noodles too fierce, masking the development of flavor dishes, of course, also subject to natural geographical conditions. However, local flavor snacks are really good. For example, water fried buns, spicy soup, Daokou roast chicken, marinated beef and so on are local fist food.
In fact, there is no need to ask why the Yu cuisine can not enter the Hall of Honor of the eight cuisines, not to say that it is the mother of the eight cuisines, suitable for the local taste of the dishes, is the most grounded dishes. Yu cuisine, classic or common, mediocre or brilliant, are a "in" word.
