Due to the differences in environment, living habits and eating habits, southerners and northerners have great differences not only in language emphasis, but also in food culture.

when many northerners travel to the south, they know which foods are very popular, although they have already made a travel guide before.

But when I went to eat by myself, I found that many delicious foods were not very appetizing, and I couldn't understand why southerners liked them.

Especially, the following six kinds of delicacies have never been very popular in the north. Even if some friends from the north come all the way to the south to eat, they don't think they are delicious.

1. Houttuynia cordata Thunb.

Houttuynia cordata Thunb., also known as the root of broken ear, has rich nutrition and high medicinal value.

It is mainly popular in Guizhou, Yunnan, Guangxi and other places. The root of the broken ear made in these places is very refreshing, delicious and crisp.

But Houttuynia cordata has the word fishy smell, because it has an unpleasant smell, which can't be covered up even after being blended with various seasonings.

and after the entrance, there is a cool taste, like eating mints, which is hard for many northerners to accept.

2. Sour bamboo shoots

Sour bamboo shoots are also unacceptable to many northerners. On the one hand, bamboo shoots are rarely produced in the north, and most of them are produced in the south.

on the other hand, the pickled sour bamboo shoots will give off a sour smell, which will make people feel bad at first sight, and it will make people feel sour when eating. The addition of sour bamboo shoots in snail powder also makes people feel bad.

However, when sour bamboo shoots are mixed with other foods, it can improve the taste of dishes, strengthen the spleen and stimulate appetite, and promote digestion.

3. Meat Zongzi

Zongzi is a must-eat food in every place during the Dragon Boat Festival, but unlike southerners, northerners usually use sweet fillings such as candied fruit and red dates when wrapping Zongzi.

In the south, when making zongzi, all kinds of meat will be wrapped, and ingredients such as egg yolk will be added, but northerners think that meat zongzi is too heavy to eat.

4. White-cut chicken

White-cut chicken is a particularly famous food in Guangdong. Many Cantonese people buy white-cut chicken to eat during the Chinese New Year holidays, and some people make their own white-cut chicken.

In daily life, boiled chicken is also very popular in Guangdong. When ordering takeout, boiled chicken is always ordered.

But for northerners, the white-cut chicken looks terrible. In order to keep the delicious taste of the white-cut chicken, it won't be cooked for too long, and sometimes there is pink blood in the bones, which makes people afraid to eat chopsticks.

In the north, most of the chickens are stewed and roasted, with heavy taste. The chicken is well cooked and served with various sauces. The taste of white-cut chicken is too light for northerners to accept.

5. Various kinds of delicious food

There are many kinds of delicious food in Guangdong and Fujian, especially in Chaoshan, where there are hundreds of kinds of delicious food.

Although the production of pasta in the north is very developed, people in the north rarely make glutinous rice cakes, and they think glutinous rice cakes taste strange.

it's not very q-elastic, and the texture is not very weak. It tastes like rice cakes, but it's not as chewy as rice cakes.

6. Sweet bean curd

In the north, bean curd is salty, while southerners like to eat sweet bean curd, probably because of the difference in taste, northerners rarely accept sweet bean curd.
