If you haven't been to Changsha during the holidays, you may never know that migrant workers who take a break are willing to queue up for 2-3 hours for a cup of milk tea.
This is probably the charm of Changsha-or the charm of the food city.
But there are the same group of people who go to other cities with the mentality of "filling their hearts with food", but regret it again and again at the dinner table.
On social networks, such cities are called "food deserts". These cities may have good cultural and natural landscapes, but the delicious food they eat locally makes people instantly understand why parents always want to go abroad with instant noodles.
So on the second day of the holiday, we sorted out the cities called "food deserts" in Weibo, and let's take a look at which foods in which cities made everyone feel dissatisfied.
which cities are called "food deserts"?
The top cities in the "gourmet desert" list are all big cities with developed economies. This is also easier to understand. Due to the large population living and floating in these big cities, the number of discussions and complaints is relatively high, and it is also high in the rankings.
among the top p>11 "gourmet deserts", there are seven or three open cities in the north and south.
In the whole desert group, due to its huge leading position in Beijing and Hangzhou, it has formed an independent brand-Desert Brothers.
how cold and angry are these two desert brothers? Probably in the 21th century, when everyone had a big appetite and everyone was clamoring for losing weight, people living in this city were annoyed and angry because they could not grow meat.

There are roast ducks in Beijing, Dongpo pork in Hangzhou and China cuisine. Other cities that have been criticized as "gourmet deserts" also have their own famous dishes, but they are still unfortunately on the list.
what foods will hinder it? From the large-scale complaints, we found the "targeted" people in the Internet food industry.
What are the most serious China foods that netizens spit out? They are traditional snacks from all over the world. These "hidden foods" often appear in the dilapidated Syrian alleys in the food strategy, which often makes tourists from afar stunned.
the snacks complained about are usually divided into two categories. One is "How can you do this" unqualified snacks, such as Regan Noodles without sesame sauce; The other is the local food that foreign tourists can't accept, such as the favorite soybean milk and tripe in old Beijing. Take Beijing as an example. Everyone's complaints about Beijing focus on certain foods, such as braised pork, roast duck and fried noodles. Although in the eyes of local people in Beijing, these foods are local representatives, in the eyes of foreigners with different tastes, these foods are not very convincing.
Liu Chun, a media person, also discussed Beijing snacks from an outsider's perspective on Weibo. In Weibo comment area, fried liver, preserved fruit, pea yellow and other foods have become the targets of criticism.

Taking Hangzhou as an example, everyone's criticism of "Hangzhou cuisine" mainly focuses on the lack of understanding of the taste of the cuisine. For example, the popular Hangzhou dishes are light, sweet and sour, etc., from which we can see some common sayings, "I don't want to lose weight, Hangzhou is too bad" and "How to eat sour and sweet food?" Was it eaten? "mouth"
Sure enough, the reasons for being fat in this world are the same, but there are countless versions of the reasons for being thin. It's just that being forced to starve to death is particularly miserable to lose weight.
judging from the comments of netizens, they came to Hangzhou all the way and found that the more popular the place, the harder it was to eat delicious food. Because of the lineup of the time-honored New White Deer Restaurant and the three-step street shooting by the lake, everyone has mentioned it many times.
This description full of scenes makes people feel a little chest tightness.
In the keywords of Beijing and Hangzhou, we also found the scene of "takeaway". The word "gourmet desert" is not only the evaluation of a city by foreign tourists, but also the heartfelt sorrow of people living in this city every day.
every day, migrant workers who are hollowed out by work always want to recover their blood by a good meal. However, whether it is the tangled meal selection process or the last meal is not delicious, it is inevitable that people feel that the food in this city is really not friendly enough for people living here.
This also leads to all holidays as a reason for them to travel or go home to explore food. Life in the distance is called life, and life in front of us is just a part-time job.
In the comment area, we also found many local residents attacking a city. "I have no desire for life", "the most ordered takeaway is salad" and "takeaway is IQ tax" ... The disappointment brought by a city is probably the most painful life sentiment in the lowest-key words.
From these words, we can also see people's expectations for food and the contrast brought by reality.
When young people are attracted by a beautiful city propaganda film, they find that their simplest food desire cannot be satisfied here, and they can only call the city "food desert", which is their most helpless cry.
what are the criteria for judging "food desert"?
In fact, in the process of discussing "famine", we also found a new problem-everyone has a different definition of famine.
Lou Jian, a media scholar, is from Hangzhou and now lives in Beijing. According to our above choices, he has been eating in the "desert" for decades. But he raised a question-when people talk about food desert, are they talking about local food or local edible food?
