Why don't Cantonese eat Chili?

Guangdong people eat Chili, and Hunan people are famous. This sentence often hangs on the mouth of Guangfu guys.

However, it is true that the indigenous people in Chaoshan area don't eat Chili. ...

(Note: Because he is not interested in spicy food)

More than half of the people in northern Guangdong are spicy "ethnic groups", and most of the people in Nanxiong are outstanding representatives of "spicy people" ...

If you are not satisfied, you can go to your place to "pick and roll" ...

I'm glad to answer your question. Why don't Cantonese eat Chili? It is because I am afraid of spicy food that I am particularly angry. Because the climate in Guangdong is humid, it is easy to get angry. If you eat it right away, you will have a sore throat, sore throat and cough. It's no exaggeration to say that words can spit out fire. So I don't eat.

I think as a post-80s Cantonese, I'm not so disgusted with eating Chili, but I can still accept micro-Chili. I think my parents really hate peppers. My sister-in-law is from Guizhou and can eat spicy food. One year during the Spring Festival, he fried a plate of peppers in our hometown. When cooking, the whole kitchen smells of pepper, which is very choking. My parents can't accept it. They croak, haha, I think it's funny. My sister-in-law also said that they exaggerated.

In fact, many Cantonese people eat peppers, and they all eat Zhitian peppers. For example, there is a garlic Chili sauce factory in Heyuan, Guangdong, a Donggu Chili factory in Jiangmen and a chopped pepper factory in Shaoguan, all of which are mainly Zhitian peppers. Usually Cantonese people don't put pepper in cooking. Sometimes they fry some meat with green peppers. Unlike Hunan, Sichuan, Jiangxi and other provinces, everything is fried with green pepper and red pepper. They are not used to the way of eating in Guangdong. Cantonese people eat soup powder for breakfast and add a little finger pepper to taste. When eating seafood, I will chop one or two finger peppers and add some soy sauce to taste, but I rarely fry the peppers in vegetables or meat, which will affect the lightness of the original vegetables and the fresh and sweet taste of the meat. Therefore, Cantonese people mainly eat light food. Of course, some Cantonese people never eat Chili, which accounts for a small number of people.

Traditional Cantonese cuisine rarely uses pepper as seasoning, which is completely influenced by Guangdong's geographical climate. Guangdong has a humid climate, so eating too much is easy to get angry, and the stool is not so smooth. Moreover, Cantonese cuisine pays attention to umami and original flavor, and many of them are steamed. Hot pot is called side furnace, and cook the meat with clear water, or a small amount of herbs as soup base, is not as spicy as Chongqing hot pot. Cantonese people also pay great attention to the collocation of dishes when eating Chili. For example, when they eat rice rolls for breakfast, they like to eat a few vinegar-soaked peppers to stimulate their appetite.

Now many mainlanders living in Guangdong also advocate spicy food, but mainlanders don't eat so much spicy food in their hometown in Guangdong. This is why mainlanders think that Cantonese people don't eat Chili.

Guangdong is not a small place. The economically developed area is called the Pearl River Delta, and the surrounding underdeveloped areas can be divided into three parts: eastern Guangdong, western Guangdong and northern Guangdong. In fact, the eating habits of eastern Guangdong and northern Guangdong are also very different. I come from western Guangdong. First of all, this sentence is somewhat exaggerated. Second, most Cantonese people now accept spicy food. I heard that they seldom ate spicy food in the past, but now many food cultures from other provinces are passed down in rural towns. Spicy boiled fish etc. Pepper can make people appetizing. Nowadays, many Cantonese people accept spicy food, but authentic Cantonese people can't eat more spicy food because it is easy to get angry. This is why I like spicy food, but I dare not eat it often.

There is a common misunderstanding in Guangdong that pepper is hot air. In fact, my personal feeling is that eating Chili does not get angry, but eating Chili is more likely to get angry.

My colleague who eats Chili took me to eat Hunan cuisine, and I found it very spicy. Make yourself some "slightly spicy" dishes, which taste ok.

My family, especially my parents, don't eat Chili. We were not spicy when we were young. After living in Guangzhou for more than 30 years, I gradually began to eat spicy food, which I learned from my colleagues.

The hot and humid climate in Guangdong makes people not interested in spicy things. And eat too cold, eat stomach cold.

In recent years, it has been found that there are many kinds of peppers on the market, and there are many peppers that are not spicy. If you don't eat spicy food, you can rest assured to eat it as a dish.

I don't know if it's right that Cantonese people generally can't eat spicy food, but Cantonese people around me do.

Why not eat spicy food may be a little misunderstood. It's not that many people in Guangdong can't eat spicy food, but they don't want to eat spicy food and don't eat spicy food often. This is related to the subtropical climate in Guangdong, and the warm zone affects people's internal fires, so herbal tea is a major feature of Guangdong, and people like to drink it. Eating Chili peppers and drinking hot wine have the same warm-keeping effect. Guangdong people eat more peppers, which will add fuel to the fire, and the internal fire will be more prosperous, which is easy to cause oral infection. The skin begins with peas; Symptoms such as elevated blood pressure. So Cantonese people don't like to eat Chili, which is the reason.

Even Cantonese people who like spicy food don't eat Chili every meal, but use Chili as seasoning. Because Cantonese people generally like to eat original food.

I'm from Guangdong, 9 hours away. Welcome your attention and discussion. thank you

The temperature is high, and it is easy to constipation if you eat too much.

This question is somewhat general, and it is partial. The answer must be food. We all know that Cantonese food (Cantonese food) tastes light, but we can't say that we don't eat spicy food, but it varies from person to person.

China's food culture is very different. Whether in the north and south regions or in the eight major cuisines, the taste of cooking has its own unique characteristics, and all have a * * * nature: color, fragrance and taste. As one of the four major cuisines, Cantonese cuisine is mainly composed of three flavors: Guangfu cuisine, Chaoshan cuisine and Hakka cuisine. They have different tastes, but they have two things in common, namely, light taste and fine and diverse materials. Therefore, it has created an illusion for everyone-Cantonese people don't eat peppers, and the food in major restaurants is relatively light, such as boiled chicken, which is mainly original and delicious with a little seasoning.

The formation of the taste of Cantonese cuisine is closely related to its geographical location and customs. It is close to the coast, rich in products and diverse in materials. Not only does it cook seafood, but Cantonese cuisine is also famous for its morning tea and soup. The cooking techniques are mainly fried, supplemented by frying and frying. I ordered a Hakka dish before, a tofu, which was fried first and then fried. It smells good and tastes light, which is also the main feature of Cantonese food. Clear but not light, oily but not greasy, but delicious. One more thing, fried rice noodles in Guangdong are also my favorite.

Then, it is said that Cantonese food is mainly light, and many people especially like soup when eating, which seems strange to outsiders. Especially friends in Sichuan and Chongqing, dishes without peppers taste like chewing wax. Actually, it's not that I don't eat Chili, but most people eat lightly. Light diet has become the eating habit of Guangdong people. If you order in a restaurant, if you specify spicy cooking, the chef will satisfy your taste.

So I think this question is one-sided. You can say that your diet is light instead of not eating Chili. There is a difference between the two. I know a friend who is from Guangdong and likes spicy food. As a Cantonese, he may be used to eating light dishes since he was a child, and he will give priority to light dishes when cooking. After all, the growing environment has a great influence on a person. But as an adult, traveling from south to north, visiting more places and tasting more delicious food will form your own unique eating habits.

What many people don't know is that Cantonese cuisine actually originated in the Central Plains and has a history of two thousand years. It was not until the late Qing Dynasty that Cantonese cuisine matured and formed its own unique cuisine. Moreover, Guangdong is close to the coast, which not only absorbs the characteristics of inland cuisine, but also runs through the culture of western food. After continuous absorption, running-in, absorption and integration of the wisdom of the Guangdong people, it has formed today's popular Cantonese cuisine.

Guangdong has a large population, extending in all directions, many people coming from the south to the north, and many overseas Chinese, so its diet is also widely spread. People often say that "food is in Guangzhou", which shows that Cantonese cuisine plays an extraordinary role in people's minds. The reason why a light diet can be generally accepted by people is not only because even if the pepper is put less, its various seasonings can still make all kinds of dishes with all colors and flavors; More importantly, it is a model of healthy diet in the new century. In other words, whether in Guangdong or other parts of China, health is the main thing at present, and people who pursue health now prefer original dishes.

Therefore, the world is big and wonders. Don't look at the problem from a single angle, it's easy to see everything. We won't be surprised when we have more experiences and understandings of life. Respect and love our food, spread and popularize our food culture, and treat the local customs with an inclusive attitude, and you will gain more! When you come to Guangdong, you must drink tea, then go outside and feel the different scenery.

I feel that there is no food that Cantonese people don't eat, and peppers are no exception. People in Guangdong eat Chili, but not as much as people in Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and Hunan.

This should start with the dietary characteristics of Cantonese people. Three main points:

First, Guangdong has a prominent diet.

With an ingredient, Guangdong people's practices will not be the same as those in other places. For example, the most common jiaozi in China. Compared with jiaozi anywhere, the crystal shrimp dumplings made from their wonton are particularly exquisite. Even the crescent moon jiaozi in Nanyang, the birthplace of jiaozi, is not as good as crystal shrimp dumplings, and its first sale is not as good as others.

Another example is chicken. There are many different practices in various places, such as burning, stewing and steaming, and most of them are rich in flavor. Guangdong people are different. They soak boiling water in reheated water bubbles. Chopping chicken is boiled chicken, or authentic ace chicken, Qingyuan chicken. Of course, they also have stew soup, but when they get there, it's not called stew soup, it's called soup, which means that the amino acids in the bones of chickens and broilers are stewed for a few hours with minimal fire, and the soup is still fresh.

Second, Cantonese people are most afraid of getting angry. I don't know why, they eat "getting angry" first. The first thing we have to choose is not habit, but whether it is delicious or not. Guangdong people are most sensitive to the fire caused by plants, not to mention peppers, which are the culprit. Unless you think you are wet, you need to eat food that gets angry to get rid of it. Generally, you won't eat Chili easily.

Third, Cantonese people seem to understand the principles of Chinese medicine. When it comes to health care, they can give you a long way to believe it or not. The key point is that they think that the way to keep fit is to eat, what to eat and how to eat are very important. For example, you can't see Cantonese people eating at all, like big men in the north. They eat three times, five times and two times to fill their stomachs. They never gorge themselves, let alone gorge themselves. They are all chewing slowly and easily, as carefully as a big girl embroiders. So they don't have big fat people, don't talk loudly, are quiet like monks, and are well maintained physically and mentally.
