First, from the perspective of the natural climate environment, the winter in the Northeast is very cold, and people have a greater demand for calories, so both their diet and the way they eat will be tilted in this regard.

Let’s take an extreme example. You can see that there is almost no hot pot in the food culture of the Sahara Desert. Even if there is hot pot, it is definitely not spicy.

Looking at the Sichuan region, due to the generally humid climate, the Sichuan cuisine culture is mostly based on peppers.

So the food in the Northeast is also affected by this. Iron pot stew is very suitable for the environment in the Northeast. If you look at Hainan, who would like to eat around the stove in that tropical weather?

Second, in the winter in the Northeast, due to transportation and other restrictions in the past, there were actually very few green leafy vegetables, while cabbage, potatoes and other vegetables that are easy to store are the mainstream, and the cooking methods of these dishes tend to be stewed.

Stewing in an iron pot can satisfy this type of practice to the greatest extent.

Third, from a humanistic perspective, people in the Northeast are generally outgoing and love to chat and make friends.

The Northeastern iron pot stew can greatly adapt to the personality of Northeastern friends. No matter how cold it is outside, a group of friends will gather around the stove, warm and cozy, with meat and vegetables stewed on the pot. Friends will have a few drinks and chat for a while, without worrying about the dishes.

It's cold, and it's always hot no matter when you eat it. It's freezing cold, icy and snowy outside, and it feels comfortable just thinking about it.

The feeling of eating this way is like sleeping on a rainy day.

Fourth, iron pot stew is a very inclusive diet that can satisfy almost everyone’s preferences.

You can stew whatever you like in it, it's very tolerant.

Finally, I put on a few more pancakes, and wow, even the staple food was taken care of, and it was still hot!

Winter in the Northeast comes much earlier than in the South, and it is also much colder.

Then eating a warm meal becomes the first choice.

The first choice for southern friends is definitely "hot pot".

After all, hot pot is very delicious! Eating it in winter can also get rid of the cold.

But the first choice of Northeastern people is not hot pot. Their favorite thing to eat in winter is "iron pot stew", which combines the characteristics of Northeastern people's love for stew and freshly cooked dishes.
