In fact, when I talk about the food deserts in my mind, I still have deep feelings. Recently, I have traveled around and discovered many places that are indeed food deserts. Let me briefly talk about Hangzhou, the capital of Zhejiang Province and a city known as "Paradise on Earth".

A well-known cultural and historical city.

Hangzhou cuisine is mainly dominated by Hangzhou cuisine, from West Lake vinegar fish to Longjing shrimp, from Dongpo pork to Yipin Nanru pork, and from Song's wife's fish soup to West Lake beef soup, almost all are classic dishes that are well-known to every household, and many literati

In Hangzhou, poets have formed a relationship with many dishes, and many stories have been spread.

In addition to the time-honored restaurants famous for their classic Hangzhou cuisine, there are also all kinds of famous catering brands and local delicacies and snacks that have become famous in recent years.

Seeing this, many friends have even more questions. It seems that Beijing and Hangzhou are not lacking in all kinds of food. Why are they called "food deserts"?

What went wrong?

It’s often nicknamed a “food desert”!

1. Local traditional delicacies are not recognized and accepted. Beijing can be linked to the "food desert". Various traditional snacks account for half of the "credit", such as bean juice, braised pork, fried liver, noodle tea, etc. Although they are authentic old Beijingers

I like it, but in the eyes of tourists and migrant workers, it looks more like "dark cuisine". It has no exquisite and appetizing appearance, and the taste also dissuades many people. It can be said that it is a visual and taste problem.

A double whammy.

Let’s talk about Hangzhou. Hangbang cuisine occupies a dominant position in Hangzhou’s food scene, and it is basically Hangbang cuisine that is criticized by netizens.

On the whole, Hangbang cuisine looks exquisite and beautiful, without any problems, and most of the problems are in the taste.

After taking a bite of the long-awaited West Lake vinegar fish, I found that the pungent vinegar and sour smell hit my forehead. I took another bite of the famous Dongpo pork and felt that the meat was nothing more than that. It was not much better than the braised pork made by my mother. Let’s take a bite.

Longjing Shrimp is a light shrimp flavor garnished with some Longjing tea leaves.
