"Food desert" literally means that there is nothing delicious to eat, which means that this place has no unique characteristics in terms of food. It is not refined enough, not particularly particular, and has no popular and popular signature dishes.

, when out-of-towners come, I don’t know what special foods to recommend to them.

I live in a northern city, and I think most of the very famous dishes are from the south.

For example, Sichuan cuisine, Shandong cuisine, Cantonese cuisine, Anhui cuisine, etc.

In the north, we are indeed lagging behind in this regard.

Tangshan, the city where I live, is a food desert city.

Apart from the pastry-like honey sesame candy and chess piece sesame cakes, there are really no famous dishes here.

It’s just that Hongyan Restaurant’s elbow is relatively famous here.

As for other things, they are considered delicacies in our local area, but they are unknown in other places.

Shijiazhuang Shijiazhuang is the capital city of Hebei Province. The recognized specialties here include donkey meat barbecue, red star steamed buns and so on.

But these delicacies cannot be called delicacies in cities other than Shijiazhuang.

Shijiazhuang's Xingluo Shaobing, which is considered delicious by local people, is not popular among people from other places.

Mainly because it's really too featureless.

When mentioning Dongsan Province, everyone will think of my more popular traditional pork stewed with vermicelli and chicken stewed with mushrooms.

However, these are very popular delicacies. Although they are very down-to-earth and everyone loves to eat them, they are not high-end.

At a formal banquet, these dishes would not be on the table.

I think a place has its own characteristics and should also have its own food. Not only locals love to eat it, but also outsiders who come here also like it very much. This is the city’s food signature.

Therefore, it is still very important to create some local specialty dishes, which can also enhance the taste and popularity of the city.
