Although Quzhou belongs to Zhejiang, it is close to Jiangxi and southern Anhui, so its eating habits are far away from the coastal areas in the traditional sense. Moreover, because it is close to the mountains and the local food is spicy, Quzhou is also called the hottest city in Zhejiang, which is completely out of line with the tastes of other cities. The taste of Quzhou cuisine is also close to that of Jiangxi, and almost all dishes should be served with Chili.

Speaking of the food culture in Zhejiang province, many people think that people here don't like spicy food because they are located on the southeast coast, but they like light taste or sweetness. Indeed, especially Huzhou and Jiaxing in northern Zhejiang, the food culture is basically similar to Wuxi and Suzhou, and they are mainly aquatic products, while Hangzhou is also very light, with at most a few local products, but one city has a different taste from Zhejiang.

Quzhou is located in the west of Zhejiang, far from the coast, but close to Jiangxi. The local natural landforms are mainly hills. The food culture here is also close to Jiangxi. Jiangxi cuisine is famous for its spicy food, and the level of Jiangxi people eating spicy food is not lower than that of Hunan people and Sichuan people. Quzhou is the same. Pepper is put in most dishes, which can be said to be not spicy, and people in other parts of Zhejiang can't stand it.

However, with the changes of the times, other cities in Zhejiang can now see restaurants in Quzhou, mainly making some local dishes in Quzhou, such as Quzhou rabbit head and duck head. Now some young people also like to eat spicy food, so these things are welcome to them, and they are not very exclusive. Moreover, the local products of Quzhou, such as pheasants and fish heads, taste better than other places. After all, there are seafood in other places.
