Have you ever tasted the top seven delicacies in the South that northerners cannot accept the most?
Seventh place: Youth League. It tastes good, but northerners think it looks like herbal medicine, and are you sure you can eat this green thing?
Sixth place: Houttuynia cordata, also called Zheergen, has high medicinal value. Houttuynia cordata will produce an unpleasant fishy smell after being kneaded, and almost most northerners cannot accept this kind of food. However, southerners think that the root of the fungus is delicious, crisp and tender, and has a special fragrance. To put it bluntly, as a southerner, the editor can't actually eat this thing. . .
Fifth place: Sweet and salty tofu pudding. Originally, the tofu pudding in my memory was both sweet and salty when I was a child. It depends on each person's preference. Generally, older people like to eat sweet tofu pudding. Later, when I came to the south, I found that they mostly eat sweet tofu curd, but they still find the taste of salty tofu curd unacceptable. This is contrary to the previous delicacies. Southerners like sweet, while northerners like salty, and it is consistent with the tastes of major cuisines.
Fourth place: Bamboo shoots. Due to climate and soil reasons, bamboo shoots are not grown in the north, so the habit of eating bamboo shoots has not been developed in the north. In the south, the most indispensable auxiliary ingredient for many dishes is bamboo shoots.
Third place: There are extra large balls, and there are also small and medium balls. The most tempting thing is the crispy, glutinous and fragrant aroma right out of the oven. Northerners don’t like to eat it, maybe because it’s “sticky to the teeth” or “too sweet”.
Second place: Salty rice dumplings. I remember that in the early years in the South, there were only white rice rice dumplings, bean paste rice dumplings, and date rice dumplings, which were also eaten dipped in white sugar. Meat-wrapped rice dumplings became popular only around the 1990s. Zongzi is a universally accepted delicacy in China and is eaten during the Dragon Boat Festival. I guess meat rice dumplings may be an invention of the south. Many northerners can't accept it and only eat date rice dumplings and so on.
First place: Meat-filled glutinous rice balls. If you ask the clerk in a northern supermarket if they have meat-filled glutinous rice balls, they will look confused: "Isn't that turned into steamed buns?" In the traditional image of northerners, glutinous rice balls are It should be a sweet, and it can even be more exotic chocolate-filled, hawthorn-filled, or peanut-filled, but it must not be meat-filled!
