Quzhou has three heads and one palm, which is a special snack in Quzhou. Among them, "Quzhou Rabbit's Head" has been listed as "Top Ten Snacks in Zhejiang", which ranks alongside Jinhua Ham and Wufangzhai Zongzi as "the first delicious food" in Quzhou.
Quzhou's three heads and one palm (rabbit head, duck head, fish head and duck's paw) are local flavor foods in Quzhou, among which rabbit head is the most representative. Its meat is fine and loose, with high protein, low fat and low cholesterol, as well as effective components such as phosphorus, calcium, vitamins and lecithin, which are beneficial to skin and mucosa health and metabolism, so it is called "beauty meat" and "healthy meat". Three heads and one palm is a special snack in Quzhou.
Three heads and one palm (rabbit head, duck head, fish head and duck's paw) have a long history, starting with duck head and rabbit head. In the 1950s, there was a refrigeration plant in Quzhou, which specialized in killing ducks and rabbits. Duck feather and duck meat are necessary, but the duck head is ignored. Because of the low living standard at that time, the poor bought duck heads or rabbit heads and burned them (three cents a catty).
I don't know which day, an aunt set up a "spicy rabbit head" stall at her door to subsidize her family. Spicy rabbit head is cheap and delicious, and it becomes popular at once. Because the business cost of rabbit head is low, it can make some money. Now, "Santou" is not only popular in snack bars and food stalls in the streets, but also has become a specialty or brand dish of hotels and restaurants.
So the habit of eating duck heads and rabbit heads all over the street slowly came from this. It was not until the early 1990s that duck heads and rabbit heads really became "hot". The degree of their "fire" not only made Quzhou people feel honored, but also spread all over the country, becoming all the rage.
