1. Salty Zongzi
Every Dragon Boat Festival, there will be a "bitter-sweet dispute" between the north and the south. Northerners love sweet Zongzi, but southerners love salty Zongzi, and the stuffing of salty Zongzi is strange. Salty egg yolk Zongzi and braised pork Zongzi are all small scenes. Have you seen fermented bean curd Zongzi and stinky tofu Zongzi? My northern friend ate stinky tofu zongzi, barely ate one, and refrained from vomiting.
2. Salted dumplings
What do you eat during the Lantern Festival? Northerners eat Yuanxiao and southerners eat dumplings. Yuanxiao is rolled out, so the stuffing is very sweet, such as bean paste stuffing, peanut stuffing, sesame stuffing, etc. First, knead it into a ball, then dip it in water and shake it in glutinous rice flour.
But the dumplings are wrapped, which can cover everything. Besides the sweet ones, there are all kinds of salty ones. You can wrap them as long as you like. For example, dumplings stuffed with shepherd's purse and pork, a friend in the north ate one and said directly, is this dumplings? Isn't that jiaozi?
3. Ai Ai
Ai Ai, also known as Qing Tuan, is a traditional snack that southerners want to eat around Tomb-Sweeping Day. It is also made of glutinous rice flour, which tastes sweet and salty. But my friends in the north are reluctant. The taste and taste of salty wormwood is the same as that of salty glutinous rice balls. And sweet wormwood is too sweet, with a strong smell of wormwood, which is not delicious. How can you eat such strange food?
Actually, the mugwort wrapped by myself is not sweet, but the mugwort sold outside is sweet with a lot of sugar.
4. Sweet bean curd
Speaking of bean curd, like zongzi and glutinous rice balls, there is also a "bitter-sweet dispute". After living in the south for more than 2 years, all the bean curd eaten is sweet, and you can eat it with a spoonful of sugar. And I have lived in the north for ten years, and I saw that the bean curd in the north is salty, not just adding a spoonful of salt, but also all kinds of marinades, just like eating noodles with gravy.
A friend from the north came to the south and bought her a bowl of sweet bean curd with honey red beans, coconut milk and sugar. It tasted like My Sweetie's, but she didn't like it, saying it was not as delicious as salty bean curd, but it tasted tasteless and only sweet.
5. Snail powder
Snail powder is a kind of "notorious" southern food, and it is a special food in Liuzhou, Guangxi. At present, there is a "convenience bag", which can be bought online. It is still the same formula, and you can taste that smell without going to Liuzhou in person.
My friend in Liuzhou said that he could eat snail powder three times a day, but he couldn't get tired of it. But he sent some snail powder to a friend in the north, and he vomited when he ate it. His family told him to throw it away quickly. How could he eat such smelly food? In fact, if you taste it carefully, the snail powder smells bad and tastes delicious.
