China is a country of gourmet food, with countless delicacies from all over the world.

I am from the Northeast. Today I will talk to you about the delicacies in the north in winter. To be honest~ These delicacies have influenced many northerners since they were young~ I will pull out the list first for everyone to find: Roasted Sweet Potatoes, Candied Haws, Frozen Persimmons

/ Frozen pear sugar, stir-fried chestnuts, fried chicken, roasted sweet potatoes, and roasted sweet potatoes have been my go-to snacks since childhood.

At that time, my father would roast sweet potatoes over a coal fire. To be honest, even if you haven’t eaten them, you can also experience the taste.

It's really very sweet and has a special roasted aroma.

Nowadays, you need to buy roasted sweet potatoes on the street, or you can make them yourself in an air fryer, but it always feels like it lacks some flavor.

When I get off work, I occasionally buy a sweet potato or two on the street.

Walking on the cold street, gently peeling the sweet potato skin, and eating the hot roasted sweet potato, not to mention how happy I feel~ Candied haws on a stick If there are any delicious specialties in the Northeast, candied haws on a stick definitely ranks high.

People across the country know that a famous delicacy in Northeast China is candied haws.

At least I eat candied haws, which are the kind made with hawthorn skewers. You can chew the crispy rock sugar cubes. It’s so beautiful~ Today’s candied haws are no longer as monotonous as before. You can see many kinds of them on the street, such as yam.

There are kiwi fruit, orange, cherry tomato, walnut, banana, jujube, etc. These varieties are naturally more expensive because of the high cost of fruit, but they are still delicious.

Nowadays, in the winter in rural areas of Northeast China, you can see people selling them everywhere on the streets. This snack actually originated in "Beijing", and its full name is "Old Beijing Candied Haws". Later, it developed into major cities in northern China.

Frozen persimmons/frozen pears Yes, you read that right, frozen persimmons. This is a special delicacy of Northeastern winter.

Persimmon is a nutritious and delicious fruit, but in the Northeast, people have innovated the way to eat it, that is, by freezing it.

After eating the frozen persimmons in your mouth, the sweet taste is refreshing. It is really sweet to the bone. With the cold juice, you can tell how delicious it is when you close your eyes and think about it.

Frozen persimmons, frozen pears, frozen apples, frozen crabapples, etc. are all local specialties in Northeast China.

Winter in the Northeast is like a big natural refrigerator. The outdoor temperature is low, and many fruits can be eaten frozen.

Many delicacies were born under such conditions, and frozen food is one of them.

Frozen pears are usually frozen with white pears. The surface of the frozen pears is black, which is so black that many people who have never eaten it may not dare to eat it (squint and smile for 2 seconds).

But when you bite it open, you will know how refreshing this feeling is~ Sugar-fried chestnuts There is another special delicacy in Northeast China, that is, sugar-fried chestnuts, which is also my favorite.

I remember that I started eating sugar-roasted chestnuts when I was very young. My mother would take me to queue to buy them. They were packed in simple paper bags. They were hot, sweet and glutinous, and very delicious.

It is fried in a large iron pot and iron sand with white sugar added. You can smell the sweet aroma coming from far away. It is also a seasonal snack here in winter.

Things are different now. In the big cities in the Northeast, you will see shops specializing in "roasted chestnuts with sugar" on many streets. Of course, they now sell more categories, not just "roasted chestnuts with sugar"

Some will also bring "sugar snowballs" (sugar-fried hawthorns), or "dried sweet potatoes" and other dried fruits. Have you ever eaten fried chicken rack? This is a special delicacy sought after by everyone in the Northeast. Some

There are long queues every day at stalls specializing in fried chicken racks. Although fried chicken racks are also available in the south, the fried chicken racks in the north are really unique, with a spicy barbecue flavor and are wrapped in a layer of dough.

It tastes crunchy. Whether you eat it with white wine, fruit wine or beer, watching the snowflakes falling outside, drinking wine and eating fried chicken in a warm room, these are very common scenes in the Northeast.
