Although Quzhou belongs to Zhejiang, it is close to Jiangxi and southern Anhui, so the food habits are far away from the coastal areas in the traditional sense. And because it is close to the mountainous area, the local food is spicy, so the city of Quzhou is also known as
Because the taste of the most spicy city in Zhejiang is completely different from that of other cities, the taste of Quzhou cuisine is also relatively close to that of Jiangxi cuisine. Chili peppers must be added to almost any dish.
Speaking of the food culture of Zhejiang, many people think that because Zhejiang is located on the southeast coast, people here don’t like spicy food and prefer to eat light or sweet foods. This is indeed the case, especially in northern Zhejiang.
The food culture of Huzhou and Jiaxing is basically the same as that of Suzhou and Wuxi. They are both based on aquatic products. Hangzhou is also very light. At most, it only has a few mountain delicacies and local specialties. However, there is one city whose taste is similar to what everyone thinks of Zhejiang.
It’s different, this is Quzhou.
Because Quzhou is located in the west of Zhejiang, it is far from the coast, but relatively close to Jiangxi. The local natural landscape is mainly hilly. The food culture here is also close to Jiangxi. Everyone knows that Jiangxi cuisine is spicy.
Jiangxi people's level of eating spicy food is not inferior to that of Hunan people and Sichuan people, and the same is true in Quzhou. Most of the dishes will put chili peppers. It can be said that there is no spicy food. However, if this kind of eating custom is replaced by people in other parts of Zhejiang,

However, with the changes of the times, Quzhou restaurants can now be found in other cities in Zhejiang. They mainly cook some Quzhou local dishes, such as Quzhou rabbit heads and duck heads. Some young people nowadays also like to eat spicy food, so these things
For them, all comers are welcome, and there is no strong rejection. Quzhou's local specialties, such as pheasants and fish heads, taste better than other places. After all, you can eat from the mountains and the sea.
The local area has seafood, and Quzhou has mountain products.
