If you have a little understanding of our country’s food culture, you will definitely know that although we are in the same China, not everyone eats the same thing. For example, the simplest thing is that the staple food that people in the south of our country prefer to eat is rice.

Most northerners like to eat pasta, such as steamed buns or noodles.

In addition to different staple foods, the taste is also different. Northerners are more fond of salty food, while southerners are more fond of sweet food. Take the simplest tofu puff as an example. Southerners eat mostly sweet food, while northerners prefer sweet food.

Most of the food we eat is salty. There is a city in the south of our country that is a model for eating sugar. Everyone seems to be addicted to sugar. If there is no sugar in meat dishes, it will be impossible to eat them!

This is Wuxi in Jiangsu Province. Wuxi is located in the Yangtze River Delta Plain in the East China Plain. Due to its distinct four seasons and humid subtropical monsoon climate, it is very suitable for the cultivation of sugar cane. Since ancient times, Wuxi has also been the land of fish and rice in my country and the most sugar-eating place. Even worse.

Wuxi cuisine is the local cuisine of Wuxi, also known as "Xibang cuisine". One of the characteristics of Xibang cuisine is that it is rich and sweet, fresh and crispy, and the sweetness is the essence of the essence.

How much do Wuxi people love eating sweets?

According to a friend of mine in Wuxi, he would not be able to eat meat dishes without sugar.

To give some examples of meat dishes in Wuxi, the most representative one in Wuxi is Wuxi’s "Sauce Spare Ribs". Sauce Spare Ribs usually use four pounds of pork ribs, and then match them with 300 grams of soy sauce and nearly 200 grams.

of white sugar, and then simmer for an hour until the ribs are crispy and ready to eat. For me, a southerner, I can add up to 20 to 30 grams of white sugar every time I cook to enhance the freshness. The 200 grams of white sugar is so sweet.

Sharp nose.

If you take a closer look at the delicacies in Wuxi, you will find that no matter what they are, they will be eaten with more or less sugar. The scrambled eggs with tomatoes that we eat every day need sugar. Even the snacks in Wuxi are all sweet without exception.

The cakes, taro and crabapple cakes and Meigong cakes are all sweet and delicious. Of course, this is only for Wuxi people. If you are an outsider, I don’t think you can even eat one bite.

It’s just that Wuxi is the most addicted to sugar. In fact, most cities away from Wuxi like to eat sweets, such as Suzhou, Nanjing, etc. Most of them mainly eat sweets. The same is true for the famous Hangzhou cuisine. For northerners,

, if you come to these places, I think it is better not to be so anxious to eat local dishes, but to start with the dim sum first, otherwise the taste of the sauced pork ribs will probably make you unable to eat it all at once.
