In fact, tastes vary greatly from place to place, so I'll talk about farmhouse meals cooked in Henan and Sichuan.

First of all, Henan, I have lived in eastern Henan since I was a child, and I think the food in my hometown is still delicious. Of course, people in other places will understand this. First of all, Henan is dominated by pasta, especially in eastern Henan, where more than 90% are pasta, and steamed bread and noodles are staple foods. What about vegetables? In fact, the economy and transportation are relatively developed now. You can see all kinds of vegetables, but some varieties and practices are different, such as eggplant. When I was a child, the eggplant I ate was the round and oval purple eggplant. I didn't see that kind of eggplant in Sichuan, but it was basically long eggplant here in Sichuan. ?

Let's start with the taste. Henan cuisine is mainly light. When cooking, put onion, ginger and garlic, put an octagonal pepper in the pot and stir-fry, then there is salt and monosodium glutamate. Of course, I'm not talking about restaurants, but my own daily practice. The reason why I feel light is not because there is no pepper, but because I was reluctant to put more oil before, so it is light. But there are many people who can eat Chili, and Chili is particularly spicy, so I belong to the category that can eat spicy food. But most people eat less pepper, and there was no red oil like Sichuan before. If they like spicy food, they will make their own Chili sauce. Now I go back and see that Pixian watercress is also used to cook at home, which shows that people are still pursuing taste.

Let's talk about Sichuan again I came to Sichuan a few years later. I stayed in Mianyang, Sichuan and Deyang, Chengdu, and finally stayed in Guanghan. To tell the truth, I ate more food in the first week when I first came to Sichuan than I did in my hometown for more than ten years. I don't like it, because I had no choice but to eat rice at that time. I simply feel that my nose and ears are full of food, and my food has been hurt. You may not believe it.

Haha … I seldom eat rice until now. Tell me about the food here. To tell the truth, Sichuan food is generally more delicious than Henan food. When I first came here, I was not used to eating such greasy dishes. Regardless of vegetarian dishes, rapeseed oil will not be put down, followed by onions, ginger, garlic and bean paste. Sauerkraut and pickles can also be used with many dishes. Sichuan food is really fragrant and colorful. I am used to eating Sichuan food now. Although I can get used to it in many places, I always insist that the taste of Sichuan food is suitable for most people.

Finally, there is no contrast between Sichuan cuisine and Henan cuisine. I like Sichuan food. Although Sichuan food is delicious, I am still more keen on hometown dishes, such as a bowl of noodles, a stir-fried dish and a plate of jiaozi.
