Legend of the origin of pot dishes

Xuzhou's earthenware dishes have a long history, which originated in Weishan Lake area at the junction of northern Jiangsu and southern Shandong. In the past, fishermen who worked and rested on Weishan Lake often ate pot rice.

This is because the conditions on the ship are limited, and it is often not very convenient to cook. Fishermen take a small clay stove, sit an iron pot on the stove, support a few pieces of dry wood below to make a fire, then cook a pot of dishes according to the usual practice, and even cover the face with cakes, thus producing this cooking method of combining meals-pot dishes.
