Yangzhou is an area with rich food culture. The braised lion head here is famous all over the world, but there is another dish here, which is the whole goose feast. However, many Yangzhou locals call this old goose, also called Yangzhou salted goose.

It is also an indispensable dish that Huaiyang cuisine has developed for more than two thousand years and is loved by many people.

More than 1,600 years ago, a man named Jia Sixie in the Northern Wei Dynasty wrote a book called "Qi Min Yao Shu", which recorded that Yangzhou people at that time used goose meat for cooking.

In the Ming Dynasty, goose meat was the most common dish in Yangzhou.

The rouge goose in "A Dream of Red Mansions" is a favorite Yangzhou dish.

If it is said that "no chicken can leave Texas alive, and no duck can leave Nanjing alive," then similarly, no goose can die in Yangzhou.

The "Whole Goose Banquet" features 8 main dishes, and the raw materials of each dish are native Yangzhou old geese.
