A complete list of Foshan specialties: Foshan Blind Man Cake - first appeared during the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty and has a history of more than 160 years.

It belongs to the rice-made cake category. It was named after a blind man created it due to an unexpected encounter at that time. It is now exclusively produced by a manufacturer who has obtained a product patent.

It has been developed to a certain extent and is a must-have item on Foshan’s tourism product shelves.

He is well-known, but it is difficult to be the protagonist.

Yingzha Pig's Trotter (Foshan Zhatu) - has been around for more than 100 years and is made by the time-honored brand Dexinzhai.

Among Foshan cuisine varieties, it is considered an alternative because it is close to the northern taste, so it is also more popular among outsiders.

It is recommended to promote it like Zhaoqing Steamed Wrap. I believe there is still a lot of room for development.

Foshan Zhuhou Chicken (series products: Zhuhou Duck, Zhuhou Goose, etc.) - The famous restaurant "Sanpinlou" became famous for being good at making this type of chicken, but unfortunately it could not escape the fate of closing.

Xiqiao Flatbread - It is characterized by softness, sweetness and looseness in the mouth.

It is a famous brand product of Xiqiao Mountain, the first tourist resort in Foshan.

Pingzhou Fu Meat Pancake - I believe that few people in Foshan know about this specialty.

In fact, it appeared earlier than blind man cake. It has always been made by families and small workshops, similar to Zhongshan's almond cake.

Jiujiang Jiandui - together with Longjiang Jiandui, has always been a famous New Year's Eve food. In Guangzhou and the Pearl River Delta, it is even more famous than Blind Man Cake.

Unfortunately, with the changes of the times, although there have been improvements in many aspects, it has gradually fallen away from people's attention.

Longjiang Jiandui, a place connected to the two regions of Jiujiang, produces two different products with the same name, and Dingdang Wharf has its own "fang-seeking customers". I believe there are many stories waiting to be discovered.

The two kinds of Jiandui are called the two major schools, and their experiences are almost the same.

Daliang Shasha - also very famous, together with blind man cake and Xiqiao pancake, it can be called the three "souvenir" specialties of Foshan.

Nanhai Mashe Dog Meat - cooked with dried meat and mixed with special sauce to highlight the aroma of pork.

It is very well-known in some areas. Some diners from Guangzhou, Hong Kong and Macao drive there to taste it. There are about 10 special shops open and the business is booming.

Gaoming Hengjiang dog meat - braised in a special method to highlight the original flavor.

Located at the junction of Gaoming and Xinxing, many out-of-town diners come to taste it. Zhaoqing, Gaoyao and Xinxing use this name to attract business. There are 7 or 8 family-style shops in the production area, but the taste of each store is quite different.

Haitian soy sauce - Needless to say, it is one of the best developed and most successful products among Foshan's specialties. It has been group-operated and developed multiple series of products, and has gained a reputation in many places across the country.

Yanbu Cangella - often featured in the elegant halls of Sui Chan restaurants in recent years, it has actually been famous for a long time, and is specially explained in the introduction of Cantonese cuisine ingredients.

The locals in the place of origin call it golden finger. It has green skin, is no thicker than the middle finger, is 6 to 8 inches long, has a hooked tail, is soft, and has the characteristics of bending the head and tail without breaking.

It is said that the produce from only two acres of land is of high quality.

Pingzhou Jinsi Pomelo - a specialty that is believed to have been forgotten due to its low yield. The fruit is only about the size of a fist, with thin skin, no residue, no core, lots of juice, refreshing meat, and moderate sweetness and sourness.

Pingzhou Shek Kip Longan - Once a year, a fruit vendor from other places came to Pingzhou Shek Kip Village to sell authentic Shik Kip longan. The locals took him to the old fruit tree. He was said to be ashamed of himself. Nowadays, many people sell authentic Shik Kip longan.

But the true direct descendants weigh less than 2,000 pounds.

Gaoming Heshui Watermelon - Many years ago, every midsummer, the open spaces in Guangzhou and Foshan were almost full of watermelons with the Heshui brand. They even made it to the Internet because the vendor's drink sign said "Heshui Watermelon, more popular than Leslie Cheung"

On the front page of "Yangcheng Evening News".

But now, due to severe acidification due to the failure of the soil to recuperate, this specialty has almost become extinct.

Guanyao Shijie Watermelon - I believe few people know about it in Foshan, but it is a household name among old Guangzhou people.

In the past, when I was riding a Hongmian bicycle with a big bookshelf and selling watermelons in large baskets on both sides in Guangzhou, most of the people selling watermelons were Shijie watermelons, which is synonymous with high-quality watermelons.

Shijie Village is located in the Taoyuan area of ????South China. It has been growing watermelons for hundreds of years. It is the ancestor of Heshui watermelon.

Jiujiang Double Distilled Liquor - Hong Kong's advertisement is well-known in the streets and is the Marlboro of liquor.

The autumn colors of Foshan have already appeared during the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty (1403~1425), and are one of the most famous business cards of Foshan.

Shiwan dolls are also Foshan’s business card. They have recently become famous due to controversy. They are currently one of the most popular categories among collectors and have a promising future.

However, there are also hidden worries. First, there is an urgent need to improve the craftsmanship of the products. Second, the product creation is the same and lacks creativity in themes. Third, there is a mixture of good and bad, and the fourth is competition between sects.

Guanyao water chestnuts are famous for their large, juicy, sweet and residue-free fruits. Together with Guilin water chestnuts, they rank first in terms of annual export volume.

Shiwan rice wine—comes from the same source as Jiujiang Marinated Rice Wine, the only difference is in the water source, but there are signs of decline in recent years.

Fengcheng Xiaochao (Food Series) - If I have to make a metaphor, it is the "city highlight" of Foshan.

Nanhai embroidery (the most important part of Cantonese embroidery) - records of Cantonese embroidery have been recorded since the Tang Dynasty.

According to Su E's "Du Yang Zabian": In the first year of Yongzhen (805), Lu Meiniang, a Gongqi woman from the South China Sea, was "extremely skillful" and could embroider seven volumes of the Lotus Sutra on silk only one foot long.

"The size of the characters is no larger than a grain of millet", and the dots are clearly defined and thinner than a hair. Emperor Shunzong of the Tang Dynasty greatly admired his work.

It is said that in the old days when people in Nanhai married a girl, the amount of gift money was determined by the quality of the embroidery. I believe that few people can embroider good embroidery now if they are given a gift of 10 million yuan.

Shunde Silk - As early as the Song Dynasty, mulberry and silkworm rearing began here. For thousands of years, it has never stopped. It is the best silk.
