How hard are the "hard dishes" in the north and south?

First of all, it should be noted that the word "hard dish" is popular in the north and very rare in the south. For northerners, meaty meat, especially beef and mutton or chicken and duck meat, is a "hard dish".

So what northerners say is "as difficult as it is?" If it is only pure pork, it is not very "hard". Such as beef and mutton, goose, chickens and ducks. And meat accounts for the majority in this dish, so this is a hard dish.

Speaking of which, many friends may not understand what "hard food" means. Let me give you an example. I believe many friends have seen the popular comedy "Country Love", and a place name-Tieling often appears in this TV series. Judging from the place names, we can know that the shooting location of "Country Love" was chosen in Liaoning Province, one of the three northeastern provinces.

In this TV series, whenever the Zhao family wants to invite people to dinner and talk about things, a dish on the table is stewed chicken with mushrooms. And if they want to give each other gifts, then the simplest and rudest gift on the table is a peasant chicken.

In the northeast, if you are invited to dinner without a hard dish like chicken stewed with mushrooms, then the guests will think you are stingy or look down on him.

Northerners usually order a hard dish when ordering in a restaurant. So here is a joke: a northerner and a southerner go to dinner together. After sitting at the dining table, southerners must order a green vegetable, but northerners find it strange. Why did they order a green vegetable separately? Isn't the mushroom in the stewed chicken a green vegetable? Isn't the radish in the stewed beef with radish a green vegetable?

So the eating habits of southerners and northerners are very different.
