Since ancient times, China has had countless cuisines, and these cuisines are divided into nine major Chinese cuisines according to regions, specialties, and other reasons, and today we are talking about China's ninth major cuisine: Ji Cuisine.
Ji is short for Hebei, and Ji Cuisine is the cuisine of Hebei. Ji Cuisine is in October 2006 by the Ministry of Commerce, China Cuisine Association, China Hotel Association held in Xi'an City, the second session of the China Catering Industry Expo New Cuisine Competition, the organizing committee of the General Assembly rated the award of the only new Chinese cuisine. Jicai's representative dishes are pot-packed elbow, Li family lion's head, etc.; Jicai can be divided into the Baoding area as the representative of the Zhili government food, Chengde as the representative of the Palace of the Seychelles, Tangshan as the representative of the Jidong coastal dishes and Shijiazhuang as the representative of the Jizhongnan plains, although Jicai belongs to China's nine major cuisines, but it is not as well known as the first eight, I think that the reasons are as follows.
One
Ji cuisine is determined time and the other eight cuisines compared is too late, which is just a decade is not enough for everyone to remember, and even some people's impression is still stuck in the eight cuisines, do not know Ji cuisine this kind of cuisine.
Two
With the development of transportation now, the division of the region has not been so detailed, may be the South can usually eat pots of elbows this dish, people have been accustomed to, so no one knows that it is the local specialties of Hebei cuisine.
Three
Compared to Sichuan cuisine, Ji cuisine does not have any distinctive features, not the kind of spicy Sichuan cuisine to bring people the impression of so deep, so there are a lot of people can not distinguish the difference between Ji cuisine and other cuisines, so there are few people to say: this dish is Ji cuisine, right. As China's ninth largest cuisine, Ji Cuisine naturally has its own unique features, and hope that with the advance of time, Ji Cuisine is more and more people recognize, by more and more people taste.
