As a saying goes, there is nothing that flies in the sky, runs on the ground, or swims in the water that Cantonese people dare not eat. Cantonese people can be said to be firmly at the top of the food chain. But there's one thing that keeps them at arm's length: raw vegetables.

The most indispensable thing on the Cantonese table is definitely soup and vegetables. Cantonese people's eating habits focus on health, and it can be said that they are taking care of their bodies all the time. You can have a meal without meat, but you cannot have a meal without vegetables. What they pay attention to when eating vegetables is the word "tender", and they pay attention to the color, flavor and flavor. Even if they just blanch them, they will never serve raw vegetables to the table.

If not eating chili peppers is the last stubbornness of the Cantonese people, then not eating raw vegetables is their deepest obsession, but now this obsession has been gradually broken. After the reform and opening up, a large number of outsiders poured into Guangdong and Guangxi, and at the same time, the food culture from all over the world was brought together here. Sichuan cuisine, Hunan cuisine, southern Fujian cuisine, Northeastern cuisine, etc., restaurants representing various regions are popping up everywhere.

As you can imagine, when people from all over the world gather together, the most important topic is food. Moreover, the average age of people in Guangdong and Guangxi is younger, mostly born in the 80s and 90s. This group of people has a strong ability to accept new things and is not very loyal to traditional eating habits, which gives cold dishes an opportunity. The cold dishes are also very popular. People will fall in love with the taste after eating it once. Then, like the highly contagious Northeastern dialect, it spreads from one to ten, and it quickly gains a large number of fans.

If you have friends from the Northeast, you must know that the Northeastern people are the most hospitable. After a busy day, make an appointment with a few friends to have an authentic hometown meal together. , not to mention how great it feels. Just imagine that with such a group of dedicated and dedicated spokespersons, why would Cold Salad not have fans?

The eating of cold dishes by Cantonese people is an obvious manifestation of the communication between northern and southern cultures, and it is also a manifestation of northern culture going south. With the passage of time and the progress of society, I believe that one day in the future, "I would rather have a meal without meat than a meal without cold vegetables" will also be used by Cantonese people
