Some people ask: Why are there so many delicious foods in Yunnan Province, but people all over the country seldom eat Yunnan cuisine or Yunnan snacks? To be honest, I really don't know the big name of Yunnan cuisine. The understanding of Yunnan cuisine is mainly home-cooked stir-fry, and these systematic banquet dishes are rarely eaten. There are many snacks in Yunnan, including all kinds of cross-bridge rice noodles, bait blocks, tofu and kebabs, with distinctive regional characteristics. Snacks are also famous, such as potato pieces, rose flowers cakes, Maoduoli and Maiya candy, which have distinctive features and unforgettable passages. However, it is difficult to swallow the classic Yunnan cuisine, special snacks and snacks outside the province. Many netizens in Zhihu have come up with excellent answers and in-depth analysis. Here, I only talk about the reasons why many people are widely unwilling to talk about it. Many Yunnan specialties have health risks.
For example, sausages will have Aspergillus flavus on the surface, which belongs to carcinogens. For example, the root of auricularia auricula contains aristolochic acid, which has irreversible damage to the spleen; Another example is Yunnan rice noodles crossing the bridge. Many raw foods are only scalded with boiling soup, and some sparganium can't be killed. Wild mushrooms are also frequent food poisoning incidents. These are all difficult for people in other places to accept or appreciate. Food regulations are unique and cannot be obtained in other areas. For example, bitter vegetable soup, basically can not find this kind of bitter vegetable in other places; For example, Toona sinensis buds are almost absent in other places except the three southwestern provinces; Another example is small red beans with sauerkraut, which can't be made outside the province, and it is difficult to buy that kind of small red beans. At the same time, kimchi is very easy to contain carcinogen ammonium nitrite, which is not good for physical and mental health. The taste is salty, which is difficult for people in other places to accept.
Hunan cuisine is spicy, Sichuan cuisine is spicy, and Yunnan cuisine is spicy and salty with strong flavor. The roots of broken ears, Chinese toon buds, bitter herbs, sausage and bacon all have a heavy and unique flavor, which Sichuan people are amazed at, but people in other areas are difficult to accept in a short time. Yunnan has a small population, and there are fewer and fewer people outside the province, which is not conducive to the spread of dishes. Sichuan, Guangdong, Hunan, etc. are all populous provinces, and there are also many people in other provinces. Yunnan has a very small population, and if it doesn't want to go outside the province, it will certainly be difficult to take Yunnan cuisine out. Some of these reasons are disliked by fellow villagers in Yunnan Province, but they are practical. I love Yunnan cuisine, and I will eat at all costs when I have a chance. Therefore, don't blame and swear, and the objectivity of truth cannot be changed. In fact, many foreigners who have been to Yunnan Province like Yunnan cuisine and delicious food.
However, there are too few people who cook Yunnan cuisine and Yunnan snacks in other places, and there are very few who can do authentic dishes, which is not like Sichuan cuisine and Hunan cuisine. At that time, there was actually something casual when defining the eight major cuisines. With Yunnan Province as a strong province for holiday tourism, the people of the whole country have continuously increased their understanding of Yunnan Province, gradually increased their acceptance of Yunnan cuisine, and become more interested in the special snacks and snacks in Yunnan Province. In addition, employees will make some changes in line with the sales market and firmly believe that Yunnan will become a paradise on earth to eat, and Yunnan cuisine and Yunnan snacks will become more and more popular. Yunnan cuisine is not among the eight major cuisines in China, but Yunnan Province is definitely the most distinctive area of China's catering culture, with different ethnic groups and regions having different tastes. Many people either love or hate Yunnan cuisine, just like Liuzhou snail powder in Guangxi province. Some people love this unique food, while others can't accept it.
