It's not a day or two since beijing beijing was called "gourmet desert". In fact, behind Beijing cuisine is a thousand-year history of ethnic integration. Beijing is an inclusive city, which combines the delicacies of many northern regions and ethnic groups. Whether it's Huguosi snack street or all kinds of halal snacks in niujie, southerners may really dislike it.
In one place, Beijing food is very miscellaneous. According to the document, the catering industry in Beijing was very developed in the past, with the largest number of restaurants in Shandong. There are ten pavilions, eight residences and eight Da Chun on the eighth floor, among which Shandong cuisine is the most. Of course, besides Shandong cuisine, there are also Huaiyang cuisine. In 1930s, there were more than 12 restaurants dealing in Huaiyang cuisine in West Chang 'an Avenue, which was then called "Chang 'an December Spring".
As an imperial capital, it has absorbed talents from all over the country, so it is natural to bring the flavor of hometown to Beijing. Then, Beijing cuisine at that time was also influenced by palace cuisine. Although it absorbs the strengths of many families, it also leads to the "mixed fish and dragons" of Beijing cuisine, lacking its own unique personality.
In fact, many Beijing cuisines have been handed down by royal nobles. Then, Beijingers pay attention to "food from time to time" and eat whatever they want in any season. As a thousand-year-old ancient capital, the richness of ingredients in Beijing is beyond everyone's imagination. "Poor and elegant" is everyone's view of Beijing cuisine. In my opinion, this is not called "poor and elegant", but a silent confrontation of Beijingers against this fast era.
Shanghai, which is full of rivers and seas, has gathered delicious food from all over the world. It is not difficult to eat food from any country or province in Shanghai. But it is this that leads to the taste of its local cuisine and is excluded. Some people say that there are delicious things in Shanghai, such as fried buns, ribs and rice cakes, and grass circles ... These foods are not delicious and can only be used as snacks! Others will say, steamed stuffed bun, boiled chicken, glutinous rice balls, er ... steamed stuffed bun is from Wuxi, boiled chicken is from Shaoxing, and glutinous rice balls are from Ningbo. Well, there seems to be nothing delicious in Shanghai.
Some people may ask, what kind of food is good food? For example, you can cook scallion sea cucumber, Jiuzhuan large intestine, sweet and sour carp and various little seafood in Qingdao in Shandong cuisine ... For example, in the northeast, you can kill pork dishes, stew mushrooms with chicken and stew pork. Sichuan and Chongqing, these cities don't need examples!
In the whole "desert group", the two "He is my brother" in Beijing and Hangzhou ranked first and second respectively, followed by Shenzhen, Shanghai, Wuhan, Nanjing, Tianjin, Suzhou, Qingdao and Xiamen!
