China's unique geographical environment makes people's diets different between the north and the south. So, what are the differences in diet between the north and the south? First, the staple food difference

The biggest difference in diet between the North and the South is that one staple food is noodles and the other is rice. Southerners eat rice as their staple food and seldom eat pasta, while northerners eat pasta most of the time, and their pasta is varied, including Daoxiao Noodles, braised noodles, pancakes and steamed bread. Moreover, northerners eat pasta, not just wheat flour, but also oat noodles, bean noodles, buckwheat noodles and so on. It is always a unique food in Shanxi to make oat noodles, and oil-sprinkled noodles are a unique food in Shaanxi. Shanxi and Shaanxi are particularly famous provinces for pasta. They can make simple pasta in a variety of ways, and the taste is not bad. The dumplings are delicious. The unique geographical environment in the north has created a generous character of northerners, with sufficient staple food and many dishes. Southerners, whether at home or in restaurants, have few and exquisite dishes, with a small amount of rice. Second, the taste difference < P > Most northerners like to eat salt, and the taste is a little heavier. Because of the geographical environment, northerners often pickle their dishes, and most of them have developed the habit of eating salty food. Due to the influence of climate, when there is no water to keep fresh in summer, the food is salted to prevent it from going bad. In winter, when vegetables can't be grown in the field, Chinese cabbage and carrots are salted into pickles. Southerners, especially in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, have a humid climate, which is very suitable for mature crops. Besides, they are close to the sea, and there are many fresh marine products. Many people don't even put salt when cooking, and sometimes they eat them directly after boiling them in water, retaining the original delicious taste of the food. Therefore, the tastes of southerners are mostly light. In the final analysis, it is the difference of geographical environment, people have to adapt to the environment, and the taste has changed accordingly. Over time, it has created the difference in diet between the North and the South.
