This is the diet of the north and the south, and there are other aspects that are very different. Northerners prefer sweet food, while southerners prefer salty food, so there are different foods in different places. If northerners come to the south or southerners go to the north to eat local food, they may still feel a little unaccustomed. For northerners, there are some delicious foods that can't be eaten in the south at all, and some southerners will feel very uncomfortable after eating them, such as frozen pears, Hu spicy soup, salted bean curd, raw garlic and green onion dipping sauce.

Frozen pears in the northeast can be said to be a unique food in the north and a very special way to eat fruits. Northerners will put the bought Sydney or Pak Lei outside in advance, freeze it, thaw it in water, and then eat it. This kind of pear tastes sweet and soft. This kind of pear tastes good, and if you eat frozen pears after drinking, you can also relieve the hangover. In addition to frozen pears, people in Northeast China will also freeze persimmons. But many southerners can't understand frozen pears when they look dark. They think this kind of pear is not fresh and can't be accepted.

Northerners especially like to drink Hu spicy soup for breakfast, especially a bowl of Henan Hu spicy soup with a pot sticker or beef patties, which is simply the enjoyment of taste buds. However, when southerners eat breakfast, most of them are light and think this breakfast is too greasy. Moreover, northerners like to eat salted tofu brain, and fried dough sticks will put some soybeans on it. Southerners, on the other hand, prefer to put sugar in the bean curd, and also like to cool the bean curd in the refrigerator and put some fruit or preserved fruit on it as dessert.

There is another way to eat in the north that southerners can't stand, and that is to eat raw garlic when eating meat. Northerners have to chew a few bites of raw garlic whether they eat meat or noodles, which is very enjoyable. Moreover, Northeasters especially like to eat raw vegetables, such as green onions, onions, lettuce and green peppers, and they all like to dip in Northeast miso, which is unacceptable to many southerners.
