China is a "gourmet country" with a large proportion of foodies, and has its own theories about the pursuit of food. But even in the vastness of China, there are still some places that people jokingly call "food deserts". So, where are the "food deserts" in everyone's mind?
1, Beijing
The network once circulated a paragraph, in Beijing, where the search for food, navigation directly to the airport, 3 hours after the flight to Guangdong can find food. In this paragraph below, there are a lot of Beijing people have echoed, said Beijing is really nothing to eat, those Beijing snacks, often leave people with the impression of "four".
Beijing roast duck, fried liver, noodle tea, enema, halibut ...... Guo Degang has a joke: get up early to eat halibut, midday stewed hangers, fried enema at night, which is enough flavor for the day. This is the heavy flavor of Beijing snacks. Coupled with the "infamous" bean juice, people have great doubts about Beijing's food.
So, is Beijing really a "food desert"? Why is it labeled a "food desert"? Because Beijing is growing so fast, it's hard for the restaurant industry to survive without expanding, and once it does, it's hard to guarantee the flavor.
Foreigners traveling to Beijing, to go to the Nanluoguxiang, the Forbidden City, the Great Wall, the total **** on those places, expensive rent, tourists, the taste is difficult to balance, can only do something to earn money fast, rubbing the old Beijing name catering industry, in order to survive, Beijing's culinary culture, but also difficult to convey out.
2, Hangzhou
Hangzhou is called "paradise on earth", another nickname "food puddle". A West Lake vinegar fish so that many tourists tasted a chopstick on the mouth, Longjing shrimp the general feeling is "flavor is too light". "Tongue 2" aired, a bowl of piece of Sichuan has become a must-eat flavor to go to Hangzhou.
For Hangzhou people, what is the old flavor? It's a bowl of seasonal noodles. If you don't eat potherb mustard and asparagus when they are in season, then the texture and flavor will not be good. Fresh potherb mustard and asparagus blanched, lard hot pan, tenderloin shredded pot and asparagus and stir-fried together, soy sauce coloring flavor, and then add the potherb mustard, steaming.
There is also pork liver noodles, mixing Sichuan and other noodles, are concerned about the ingredients of the traditional noodle fire, with the ingredients must be seasonal, a little bit of soy sauce to master just the right amount. When you're done eating, there's still a little room in your stomach, so go out and find a fried stinky tofu or a scallion bun braise to fill that space.
3, Hebei
The most non-existent province in the north, may be Hebei? Many friends in Hebei laugh at their own province in addition to donkey meat barbecue is more famous, as if there is nothing to take out. During the epidemic, there was another such segment that made people laugh out loud.
What else does Hebei have to offer besides donkey meat barbecue? Beef plate noodles? Actually the original is Anhui's Taihe mutton plate noodles. Xianghe meat cake? The beef, scallion and pork and fennel filling is fragrant, but it's not something Xianghe locals eat much of - it's for outsiders.
Hebei is too low-profile, Qinhuangdao canned white peaches, Tangshan peanut brittle candy, Shijiazhuang's "Palace Noodles", that are worth taking out the good taste. However, these foods did not spread out of Hebei Province, only in the city's internal digestion, simple, solid, sincere, just like Hebei's friends.
