People in Song Dynasty liked pasta, soup, wild vegetables and various preserved fruit snacks. Pasta was the people's favorite staple food in the Song Dynasty, especially all kinds of cakes such as Hu cake, Furong cake, big kitchen cake and other fancy cakes, as well as various kinds of noodles such as mutton noodles and meat noodles, which were common staple foods at every household's dinner table.

Secondly, people in the Song Dynasty also loved "washing hands to make soup", and the soup made of various materials can also be used as seasoning for other dishes, which has a wide range of uses. In addition, people in the Song Dynasty also had a special liking for wild vegetables. Many common wild vegetables such as bracken, bamboo shoots and amaranth were very popular with people in the Song Dynasty, which also showed that people in the Song Dynasty had a light diet and rarely ate foods with high salt, oil and sugar.

In addition, people in Song Dynasty also liked to eat mutton and snacks with preserved fruits, especially in Song Dynasty, where wine culture was very rich. When drinking, people paid attention to eating dried meat, preserved fruits and soup. Generally speaking, although the food culture in Song Dynasty is complicated, it is actually very simple to eat, similar to fast food.

As for stir-fried seafood and other foods, we don't eat them at all, but we only eat very little, because in the Song Dynasty, although there were iron pots, the cooking technology was not widely popularized, and seasonings such as oil and salt were also very expensive, so an ordinary stir-fried meal was not affordable for ordinary people. Therefore, in the Song Dynasty, only wealthy families and aristocratic bureaucrats could eat all kinds of stir-fried dishes, and ordinary people's families still preferred all kinds of cold food.

Although we look back at the diet in the Song Dynasty now and find it boring, at that time, the diet of the people in the Song Dynasty was quite exquisite, and it was from the Song Dynasty that China's food culture really enriched.
