"Dead man's rice" is a very distinctive traditional food in Guangdong, also called "rice porridge". Different from ordinary porridge, the rice grains of "dead rice" need to be fermented for a long time, which makes it particularly delicate and smooth, and can provide a variety of nutrients needed by the human body, especially suitable for people with poor appetite. Although the name is a bit disgusting, this dish has become a firm choice of many people, especially those who think its taste is unparalleled.

It is said that "rice for the dead" was mainly for the rich in the early days, but it was called "rice porridge" to cover up its name. But now this dish has been passed down by people in the past and gained wider recognition. There are many cultural meanings behind the "dead man's meal" besides the taste. For example, it is also one of the traditional delicacies dedicated to the bride's family at traditional weddings, which provides a deeper meaning for important occasions.

"Dead man's meal" is not only a kind of food, but also witnessed the evolution of Guangdong's history, culture and food production mode. Traditionally, the production of "rice for the dead" requires the use of such tools, such as special utensils such as Casuarina (the agitator for cooking porridge), to reflect its real delicacy and taste. However, with the improvement of modern kitchen equipment, "Dead Man's Meal" has also appeared on more dining tables, becoming one of Guangdong's special dishes and a part of cultural treasures.
