The Lantern Festival is in sight, suddenly remembered, when I was a child, adults told the sentence: "Eat sticky food, no crying."

Who doesn't want to be happy and reunited? Growing up, I realized that it's not really that simple. However, no matter how hard it is, you can't make things difficult for yourself with good food; and nothing can stop people from yearning for good food when you're on duty at home.

The deeper meaning of this sentence is more aptly described by Mr. Shen Hongfei: "If there is no food on a holiday, it is like not having a married life on the wedding night, which is immoral. "

So what should we eat at the Lantern Festival? I thought, Once the lanterns of the Lantern Festival are lit, the world is full of sticky food parties.

First of all, you should eat the Lantern Festival. When it comes to Lanterns, Southerners think of them as soup dumplings, while Northern Lanterns don't see it that way: although they look very similar, Lanterns hit the heart, through a bold and uninhibited rock 'n' roll paradigm.

The southern dumplings are rolled out, while the northern snacks, is stuffed into the filling wet, rolled out in the glutinous rice flour. From the face value, the South's delicate and slippery, while the North's coarse reverse ...... Northern Lanterns, cry down in this spell value of the era.

However, the north has the northern face value bear. People under the out of the Lantern, soup material, pay attention to the "original soup original food", our northern Lantern, since ancient times, can also be fried to eat, do plucked Lantern to eat ...... Southern dumplings embarrassed bowed his head.

The southern soup dumplings suddenly ripped open their lapels, the northern Lantern surprised to find that he actually two breasts plump with nuts, black sesame, bean paste, fresh meat, caper fried, shredded carrots, and other fillings ...... Lanterns silent.

When you are young and don't read, you will lose in the old quarrel.

Ming Dynasty Liu Ruoyu in the Ming Palace History? Fire set" recorded: the Ming dynasty court, the first month of the 15th "喫元宵，其制法，用糯米细面， 内用核桃仁、白糖、玫瑰为馅， sprinkled and rolled into, such as walnuts big". Lanterns also have such wonderful fillings, where need to be ashamed of it?

In fact, the Lantern Festival dumplings are almost the same, are the North and South to eat the food world good man.

The dumplings are considered cousins of the soup dumplings, is a little bit of growth in the north and south. Jiangnan's round to give people the feeling are round, by the water boiled, seem to be a pair of afraid of his wife's soft collapse look, in fact, that is not seen the southern doughnut.

My mother is Changzhou Wujin people, where they have to eat dumplings at the Lantern Festival. The dumplings look a bit like the bottom of a wide, narrow nest, feel hard, but also a proud head. How hard is the dumpling? used to hit people, the head can be bag.

However, boiled in water and eaten, but soft and sticky teeth. The best thing is that my brother likes a kind of "foreign accent", put in the bubble rice cooked together, even with the soup with water together, that is a pain and comfortable.

Dumplings are filled with bean paste, vegetables and meat, and my favorite is the shredded radish meat and oil dregs filled with a bite, revealing a golden golden filling, a strange aroma tempting. The combination of the oil scraping from the shredded radish and the spiced drippings is so good that your hairs dance and your soul goes out of your body.

Wenzhou writer Lin Jinlan once wrote: "Southern people settled in the north for several decades, even the children have pulled adults, and there are New Year's Eve are not dumplings. My family is one of them, but my family has the same, New Year's Eve dinner first a 'pendulum in the middle', must be fried rice cakes. "

Don't think that this is Mr. Lin Chinlan's personal preference, in fact, this is a long history of national hobby. Isn't there a saying that the world is full of slimy eaters?

The origin of rice cake is from the pre-Qin Dynasty, which is more than 2,000 years old, and in the Zhou Dynasty, it is written as "common millet". In the Han Dynasty, the name "sticky rice cake" was officially introduced, and it was not until the Tang Dynasty that the custom of "eating Yuliang cake on the 15th day of the first month of the lunar year" first appeared in the Luoyang area (see Yunxian Miscellany).

Nian Gao is also eaten north and south of the ruthless people, it is said that the most varieties of belong to Suzhou. According to Gu Tieqing "qingjiazhu" records: "millet flour and sugar for cake, day 'rice cake'. There are different yellow and white. Large diameter feet and square shape, commonly known as 'square head cake'; for the Yuanbao type, said 'cake Yuanbao' ...... shape narrow and long, commonly known as 'strip head cake '; slightly broad, said 'strip half cake'."

Don't think that southerners don't use oil to fry rounds, they won't fry rice cakes, Suzhou has the custom of frying rice cakes.

They are the most popular and most popular of all, and the most popular of all, and the most popular of all. "

I wrote before, to go to Suzhou must go to Guanqian Street "Huang Tianyuan", must eat osmanthus flavor or rose-flavored rice cakes, the kind of oily and sticky teeth, and the aroma of rice with the aroma of roses, lard, deep in my heart, eat a wave of the sleeve on the way out. The same as usual, I can't move thick waist.

Chinese people eat cake are eating crazy, how can I finish a piece of writing?

For example, the "food scripture" in the "flower folding goose cake" "purple dragon cake"; "burnt tail feast food list" in the "crystal dragon wind cake "; "Qing Yi Lu" in the "full of stars," "grits mixed" "flower cut belly" "size of the rainbow bridge "and so on. Tokyo Dreaming Records" and "Old Story of Wulin" and "honey cake", "chestnut cake", "wheat cake", "flower cake", "mochi cake", "mochi cake", "mochi cake", "mochi cake", "mochi cake", "mochi cake", "mochi cake" and "mochi cake". "mochi cake", "milk cake" and so on. In Yuan Mei's "Food List in the Garden", there are also "fat cake", "snow cake", "soft fragrant cake", "hundred fruits cake", "green cake", "green cake", and so on. "green cake" "chickpea cake" and so on ......

God, can not say, this heartless cake, so that my mouth has been hurt! waist.

Thinking about it, I'd say, Not for gluttony, just for heritage. Otherwise, future generations will ask us what food we have eaten. We will only say Sha Xian snacks, Lanzhou ramen, cassoulet rice, not ashamed of the ancestors?

Never Fail. or "no fall clip", is a sticky food similar to zongzi. According to the Ming Dynasty Zhu Quan "臞仙神隐书" records: "on the 15th day of the first month, called on the yuan, the heavenly officials blessed hour ...... with glutinous rice round, not fall angle to sacrifice. Under the lamp children gather and eat, called the celebration of the upper yuan."

The noodle calendars. It is a lamp made of flour. Xianfeng years Shanxi "Chengcheng County Zhi" records: "(first month) 15 days ...... steamed buckwheat noodles for lamps, injection of oil to light lamps, the next morning to eat."

Limited to space, it introduces two kinds of it. At this moment, pinch your fingers, there will be a bar.

Every time I write an article, someone will come out and say that eating this way is unhealthy, eating that way is not good, are ETC's main - automatically lifting the bar. This time there will be someone who will come out and say, "Eating more sticky food is not good, it's not digestible".

Here's a preview: Most of the sticky food is made from glutinous rice, which is actually not difficult to digest, and is easier to digest than rice. It is easier to digest than rice, but if you have a bad stomach and acid reflux, it's a different story.
