these selected foods are not only famous locally, but also well-known all over the country. For example, the drunken crab in Zhongzhuang is a famous dish with a long history in Jiangsu cuisine. Because it was first made and best made in Zhongbaozhuang, xinghua city, it is called "drunken crab in Zhongzhuang" or "drunken crab in Zhongbao". It was a famous tribute to Beijing as early as the 18th century, and was awarded the first prize in the Nanyang (Singapore) Competition in 1898. This time, it was selected as a landmark dish in Taizhou.

"Eight Fresh Foods of Qinhu Lake", which is also selected as a landmark dish, selects aquatic products originating in Qinhu Lake as raw materials, and adopts the techniques of Huaiyang cuisine to cook and process, which has unique characteristics of fresh lakes. Nowadays, with the development of Jiangyan tourism, "Eight Fresh Banquets in Qinhu Lake" has become a famous brand product in tourism catering.

Food is also the embodiment of local historical and traditional cultural heritage and folk customs. Crispy long fish, which was selected as a landmark dish, was selected as a representative dish of Jiangsu in the name of "Taizhou Crispy Eel" in the Republic of China. In the old days, there was a retail store for crispy long fish in Taizhou. I bought a "dog's head bag" (named after the shape of a dog's head wrapped in paper) and cooked it at home. The flavor was very unique.

Another example is Xinghua's "Wang Shaobing", which was selected as one of the top ten landmark pasta snacks. Up to now, many customs in Xinghua are still related to Shaobing. For example, pregnant women are confined to the moon, and old hens are soaked in sesame cakes; One hundred days after the child was born, her family sent thousands of biscuits to her in-laws to "support" the child; Cooking cakes should be sprinkled on the beams of building, which means wealth.
