Hubei people's eating habits can refer to the characteristics of E cuisine: traditional E cuisine to the Jianghan Plain as the center, by Wuhan, Jingzhou and Huangzhou three local flavors composed of dishes, including Jingnan, Xiangyang, Ezhou and Han Shin four major genres. Wuhan cuisine has more varieties, focusing on knife work and fire, paying attention to color matching and modeling, especially the simmering soup technology has unique features. Jingzhou cuisine is famous for cooking freshwater fish, various steamed dishes are more distinctive, and the gravy is thin and clear, so it is important to keep the original flavor. Huangzhou cuisine is good at burning, frying, thick juice and heavy flavor, rich in rural characteristics. Jingnan cuisine is active in Jingjiang River, including Yichang, Jiangling, Honghu and other places, specializing in stewed game and small aquatic products. Xiangyang flavor is prevalent in the Han River basin, including light, Fancheng, Suizhou and other places, mainly meat and poultry dishes, proficient in baking, grilling and stir-frying. Ezhou flavor spreads to the hills of southeast Hubei, including Huanggang, Xishui, Xianning, etc. It is famous for processing grain, bean, vegetable and fruit, and the combination of staple food and side dishes is its specialty. Han-Shin flavor is rooted in the ancient Yunmeng Daze, including Hankou, Shinyang, Xiaogan and other places, and is famous for cooking large aquatic products and simmering soups.

Personally, I feel that Hubei people have a heavier taste in food, with salty, fresh, spicy and numbing spices being the preferred flavors of Hubei people. The meat that favors heaviness is mainly fish and beef. General Hubei people if you do not eat fish for a month to feel very upset, a colleague of mine to Xinjiang half a year back to eat fish every day to eat the original in Xinjiang can not eat to make up for it. In recent years, beef noodle and beef bones are also very popular among Hubei people, and shrimp and crab are also Hubei people's favorite.
