A family reunion dinner is certainly very rich, but in most families, we should pay attention to three points:
First; First of all, we should consider the elderly and children. Respecting the old and loving the young is the traditional virtue of the Chinese nation. Old people should pay attention to eating: food should be soft, spicy and spicy, not too cold; In addition, it is best to be digestible, sweet and light. In the south, sweet water meat is indispensable on the dining table in many places, and braised pork is served by every household. Besides, we have to take care of the children, who like to play around. There used to be a dish "dry board" specially prepared for children. "Dry board" is equivalent to roasted meat and braised pork, which is suitable for all ages.
Second; According to the custom of our southerners, bacon and sausage must be served during the New Year. In the twelfth lunar month, every household has bacon and sausage. Whether you like it or not, this bacon must be served. Without bacon and sausage, it is not called a reunion dinner.
Third; In a well-off family, there are two dishes on the reunion dinner, one is garlic moss and the other is leek. It's not that garlic, moss and leeks are expensive during the Spring Festival, so we deliberately cook expensive dishes, but to add green beauty to the dining table. The jargon is "raising color". A good meal pays attention to color, aroma and taste, with color first, aroma second and taste third. Bacon and sausage are dark, steamed meat and braised pork are dark, and cold dishes are dark, so the overall color is too monotonous. At this time, the last course is very green garlic moss and chives in Huang Cancan, and the green garlic moss is matched with golden chives. In the jargon, it is called "Chase", which is the pursuit of color and fragrance.
In addition, whether in the north or the south, whole fish is essential. Whether steamed, roasted or fried, the whole fish symbolizes more than a year and a bumper harvest in the coming year.
After noticing the above points, your family reunion dinner will be a complete success and should be welcomed.
