When it comes to the delicacies in Texas, it can be said that there are a lot of them, but the most famous ones are the three treasures in Texas, namely, Texan braised chicken, Texan watermelon and Texan golden jujube. Perhaps everyone is also very familiar with these three Texan specialties, such as Texan braised chicken, which is one of the four famous chickens in China.

If you want to eat braised chicken in Texas, you should still eat the one that is cooked now, which is more delicious than vacuum packaging. Besides, there is much sand in Texas, so the watermelons grown are very sweet. Besides, the golden jujube in Leling, Texas is also a local specialty, which is very famous. It is also sweet and crisp to eat. If you have the chance, you must try the watermelon and golden jujube in Leling, Texas.

In addition to the three treasures in Texas, there are many delicious foods in Texas, such as horseshoe sesame seed cake, spiced boneless braised chicken, pit barbecue, large willow noodles, sheep intestines, soup, salt and pepper elbow, baodian donkey meat, steamed bread, casserole, bagged chicken and scallion-roasted tendon, which are also delicious foods and specialties in Texas. Welcome.

As a rural person in Dezhou, the three treasures mentioned in our side refer to: braised chicken in Dezhou, watermelon in Dezhou (also known as "the donkey meat in Baodian" in our county) and golden jujube in Leling. The following is a brief introduction, for reference only:

1. Texan braised chicken

I believe you should know more about Texan braised chicken, especially when you are on a train passing through Texan, there are usually train attendants who sell Texan braised chicken! Listening to their catchy rhetoric, do you have the desire to buy impulsively, hehe!

the characteristics of Dezhou braised chicken are tender and soft, spiced and boneless, and not greasy.

However, the braised chicken now feels a little salty, which is not as delicious as the handmade one before!

historical development: braised chicken in Dezhou has a history of more than 3 years. It first appeared as a hawker selling roast chicken in Dezhou city or dry water wharf in Ming Dynasty, and then it officially appeared in the 31st year of Kangxi (that is, in 1692), called braised chicken with spiced bones! Later, Kangxi was praised for its delicious food during his southern tour, which officially became a tribute and gradually became famous all over the world!

2. Watermelon in Texas

In our Texas, watermelon has been cultivated for more than 3 years, which is recorded in the "Long River Records Examination" written by Tian Wen during the Kangxi period.

features: big, thin skin, tender flesh, sweet and refreshing!

I remember when I was a child, watermelons were planted in our family for several years. In summer, I basically lived in a shed in the field. When I was hungry and thirsty, I picked a watermelon directly from the field to eat. I remember that many farmers in the village planted it at that time.

In addition, at that time, there was basically no money for selling watermelons, and most of them exchanged the wheat just harvested that year for watermelons!

Third, Leling Jujube

Leling is located in the east of our town, which is mainly rich in golden jujube and is the "hometown of golden jujube in China". Its history has been more than 3, years, which can be traced back to the Shang and Zhou Dynasties at the earliest, and gradually rose in the Wei and Jin Dynasties and flourished in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

characteristics: thin skin, small core and plenty of meat, sweet and delicious.

I remember when I was a child, because we were near Leling City, so many jujube trees were planted in various villages. I remember that many farmers in the village would have jujube trees in their yards. Like our neighboring village, the main tree species in the village are not willows or poplars now, but mostly jujube trees. People can pick a lot casually when they pass by, but no one cares!

four, baodian donkey meat

these are the three specialties in ningjin county, also known as baodian spiced donkey meat, which is often a feast. On our side, there is a jingle saying, "Sir, steamed stuffed bun, big willow noodles, want to eat donkey meat and go to the insurance store." It is understood that its founders are three brothers, namely Li Changrong, Li Changshan and Li Changchun.

characteristics: the meat is delicious, fat but not greasy, rotten but not scattered, thin but not firewood, soft but not sticky, tender and refreshing, with unique fragrance, suitable for all ages.

Eating donkey meat can relax the muscles and activate the veins. Generally, it is a necessary food for martial arts practitioners. Because acrobatics here is very famous, generally these Jianghu artists will perform everywhere, so their reputation is far-reaching!

In fact, there are many specialties in Texas, such as dezhou donkey, which is very famous. For example, there are three famous foods in our county: Chief Steamed Bun, Big Willow Noodles and Baodian Donkey Meat. In addition, crickets and acrobatics are also our strong points, which are famous all over the country!

As a Texan, let me tell you: The three treasures of Texan in the past were: Texan braised chicken, Texan watermelon and Texan Leling golden jujube. At present, it seems that Texas braised chicken is still ranked first, and Texas is famous for braised chicken. If you don't mention Texan braised chicken, you can't talk about Texan cuisine. This famous Texan specialty has become a symbol of Texan. "I did an English reading comprehension on China's food culture in college, which explained Texan braised chicken in a large space." A post-8s Texas girl has a deep memory of this. At that time, she was studying in Hunan. Afterwards, she mentioned this to many classmates and was quite proud.

There are many brands of braised chicken in Dezhou, but many Texans are used to going to the braised chicken food city to buy freshly baked braised chicken instead of vacuum-packed finished products. A senior "foodie" who works in braised chicken group smells the aroma of freshly baked braised chicken before consumers every day. She once described it like this: "After tasting fresh and tender chicken, you will know that not all braised chicken produced in Texas is called' braised chicken in Dezhou'."

The golden jujube in Leling, Dezhou should be ranked second:

Leling is famous all over the world for its rich golden jujube, and is known as "the hometown of bailizao". The quality of Leling Jinsixiaozao is excellent. When the semi-dried jujube is opened, it can be clearly seen that the golden thread composed of pectin and sugar adheres between the pulp, stretching for 1-2 inches and shining in the sun, hence the name Jinsixiaozao.

The last food to be introduced is the donkey meat in Baodian, Dezhou: Baodian donkey meat, one of the "three famous foods" in Ningjin, became famous in Jiaqing period of Qing Dynasty, and it was a court tribute. Because of its unique flavor, it became famous all over the country, and it was known as "dragon meat in the sky and donkey meat in the underground", and was selected into the Dictionary of Famous Foods of China Native Products. Donkey meat is a pure natural food, which has the functions of nourishing yin, moistening dryness and nourishing blood, and is very suitable for nourishing and eating. Baodian donkey meat is fine, tender, nutritious, thin but not firewood, rotten but not scattered, full of fragrance, unchanged for a long time, salty and palatable, and suitable for all ages. And a donkey produces "eight brocade"-heart, liver, intestine, belly, lean meat, tendons, mouth strips and crisp ears. Yu Ruomu, a famous nutritionist and the wife of Comrade 1, praised it again and again after tasting it, and wrote a beautiful sentence: "A thousand years' worth of food is enjoyed by all families.".

Every time I go to the supermarket, I see packaged food on the shelves. Texan braised chicken is a local specialty. I'm sorry, I don't know much about the other two treasures.
