Introduction: February 2 is a traditional folk festival, which falls on the second day of the second lunar month. Not long after the first month, many people can do whatever they want after February 2, but there are special traditional foods in the festival. Do you know what traditional food you eat in the northeast on February 2? The following is the food I introduced to the northeast people on February 2. Let's go and have a look.

What traditional food do you eat in the Northeast on February 2nd?

First, pig's head meat

Folk songs say that "the dragon rises on February 2", and the northeast people have the custom of "eating pig's head on February 2". In ancient times, pig's head was a sacrifice to ancestors and heaven. In normal times, pigs can't eat casually. The average farmer worked hard for one year and slaughtered pigs and sheep in the twelfth lunar month of the third year.

From this day on, we began to improve food. Every day, we should see some meat in our food. On New Year's Eve, the whole family has a family reunion dinner, with jiaozi on the first day, jiaozi on the fifth day and Yuanxiao on the fifteenth day of the first month. After the first month, the new year, and the festival, all the pork killed in the twelfth month was basically eaten. In the end, there is only one pig head left, which can only be eaten until February 2. The Dragon King is in charge of rainfall, so farmers should offer the best sacrifices to the Dragon King.

Pig's head meat, although it is very inconspicuous on weekdays, is difficult to be elegant. But it can be eaten in a variety of ways, and can be processed into various cooked foods, and can also be used with other raw materials. Whether it is with wine or rice, it is delicious.

Second, jiaozi.

Jiaozi is a must-eat food in Northeast China during the Spring Festival, and jiaozi is very popular from the first day of February to the second day. Some of jiaozi are shaped like gold ingots, while others are shaped like ears. On this day, dragons look up and eat jiaozi, which is called "eating dragon ears". "Comfortable is better than upside down, not as delicious as jiaozi." In the past, jiaozi was not very delicious, and jiaozi, which was short of oil and meat during the Spring Festival, had only a little meat to satisfy its appetite.

Experts say that there are many kinds of stuffing for dumplings, from vegetarian dishes and eggs to all kinds of meat such as pigs, chickens, fish and shrimps, and there are almost no ingredients that can't cover jiaozi. On the day when the dragon looks up, it pays attention to eating "vegetarian jiaozi", that is, there are both meat and vegetables in the stuffing, and the homonym of "vegetarian" is used as "wealth" to convey the message that the new year will be rich.

In the past, medicine was underdeveloped and it was not easy to treat diseases. Probably people think that "dragon heads up" can curb all diseases, and eating "dragon ears" can protect the body and eliminate all diseases. Up to now, there is still the jingle "Eat jiaozi on February 2nd, and all diseases are afraid of dragons running outside".

It should be noted that after eating jiaozi, don't drink a lot of tea, because tannic acid in tea and meat protein will synthesize substances with astringency, which will slow down intestinal peristalsis, not only easy to accumulate food and abdominal distension, but also easy to affect defecation and increase the chance of reabsorption of metabolic toxic substances.
