Dongpo elbow is a famous dish in Sichuan cuisine. Because it is fat but not greasy, it melts in the mouth and tastes full, and it is deeply loved by diners. Why is Dongpo elbow related to great writers? Here I introduce the origin of this dish. In the 1940s, the founder of the "Weizi" restaurant in Chengdu, surprisingly, evolved a method of burning elbow from Su Dongpo's "Stewed Meat Song", which was named "Dongpo elbow". He also said that the signboard of "Weifeng" was written by Su Dongpo himself, and the "Dongpo elbow" was created and handed down by Su Dongpo himself.

It is said that Su Dongpo went to Yongxiu, Jiangxi, and cured the children of local farmers. In order to express his gratitude, the farmer stayed at Su Dongpo's house for dinner. While the farmers were cooking, the great writer walked out of the house, saw the beautiful countryside and sang a poem loudly. Sweetheart "grass bead", the farmer thought it was bitter for the person who taught him cook the meat, and hurriedly plunged the pig elbow at home and the straw from the pig elbow into the pot. The farmer changed Dongpo's "grass bead to sweetheart" into "grass boiled sweetheart", which means that the meat cooked by pig elbow and straw has no taste yet! The farmer said, "I don't know.

Later, every time farmers wanted to eat this dish, they cooked it in this way. When neighbors asked, he said that Su Dongpo, a great writer, told him. After a long time, everyone called this dish "Dongpo elbow" and the dish "Dongpo elbow" spread. I believe everyone has eaten the delicious Dongpo elbow. Qiaoting I like this dish very much! "。 The sauce is rosy, fat but not greasy, fat but not rotten, and it makes your mouth water! " . But why do elbows have something to do with great writers? Why is it called Dongpo elbow? There are two sayings in history.

It was after Jiang Xiyong and Su Dongpo treated a farmer's children, that Su Dongpo wrote poems while eating at the farmer's house. "Grass beads communicate with sweethearts", this sentence was misunderstood by the farmer, who thought Dongpo taught him to cook after listening to "Sweet Sweethearts with Full Ripe Grass", not to mention that the pork elbow cooked with straw was delicious, and the dish "Dongpo Elbow" spread like this!
