Why do you feel that some southerners eat several dishes at a meal, while some northerners seldom cook?

I come from the south. I stayed there for nearly 20 years, then studied in the north, and now I live in the north. Let me talk about my feelings.

Indeed, southerners will cook more diversified dishes, and the amount of dishes will be relatively small. During the Chinese New Year, there are twenty or thirty dishes, eight of which are cold dishes, which are relatively more exquisite. In terms of vegetables, there will be more varieties, cold and stir-fried. I really miss vegetables in my hometown. Cooking is delicious. That is, the small rape in the north, alas, it's a long story.

But the cooking in northerners' homes is rather monotonous. For example, now that I am in Dalian, more people may like to cook a lot of seafood, with some pickles or a cucumber, and stew a kidney bean and potato at most. There are fewer varieties of vegetables, more big fish and meat, and the practice is relatively rough. For example, direct white water cook the meat or a pot of big bones.

I think this situation is caused by eating habits that have been handed down all the time, and on the other hand, it is also related to natural conditions.

In the early years, transportation and logistics were not so developed. Northerners, especially Northeasters, can only eat some vegetables that can withstand storage, while there are all kinds of fresh vegetables in the south in winter, so they will eat more vegetables.

In addition, northerners have more varieties of pasta than southerners, and they have made great efforts in staple food, while non-staple food is relatively simple and rude.

Of course, with the improvement of conditions and the development of logistics, there are more and more kinds of food, and the gap between the north and the south may be narrowing, but when can we cook less food in the north? Alas, it's so difficult to order in a restaurant with few people. It will always be a big basin unique to the north ~ ~

The four dishes and one soup popular in the history of China are perfect!

There are several dishes in the south, but few in the north! (Mainly the difference between North and South food culture! )

In the south, rice is the main food. Generally speaking, rice is only cooked and fried, which may be very simple and ordinary!

As an old northerner, pasta includes steamed buns, steamed buns and jiaozi, and there are nearly a thousand kinds of pasta!

Secondly, the inheritance of history: many cuisines in the south are suitable for the growth of plants and more suitable for growing vegetables than in the north!

Sure, look at 2 1 century! Vegetable Dapeng is market-oriented, and many northern Renye Fang are the standard of four dishes and one soup!

Nothing can't be done! But then again, diet is also an indispensable basis for human growth and evolution-you still have to eat well!

As a northerner working in the south, if you think about it carefully, it seems to be true. I think there are two main reasons:

1, the difference between staple foods.

Almost everyone knows that southerners love rice and northerners love noodles. But when eating rice in the south, rice and vegetables will not be directly mixed and processed. Therefore, if you want to eat tasteless rice, you must have cooking. Noodles are different. When processed into noodles, northerners usually add brine directly, add vegetables and mix well, or fry directly. A bowl of noodles is a meal. This gives people an illusion. In fact, northerners also want to fry steamed bread. And like xinjiang hand pilaf, they will inadvertently reduce the amount of cooking.

2. Different products.

Although the transportation is convenient now, all kinds of fruits and vegetables can be circulated throughout the country, but this was not the case before. The north is cold and dry, and the products are barren. Ancestors may not have so many non-staple foods. In order to increase appetite, efforts have been made on food types. A kind of flour can make many kinds of food, but a kind of rice seems to have only a few methods. The things left by our ancestors are not so easy to change, so there are many kinds of staple foods in the north, but there are fewer kinds of cooking when eating. Comparatively speaking, the south is warm and humid, plants grow vigorously, there is no shortage of vegetables in four seasons, and natural cooking is more.

As a family, welcome to leave a message ~

Due to the differences in culture and products, there are indeed many dietary differences between the north and the south. Families in northern areas usually have one or two dishes for the whole family to eat. In the south, many dishes are cooked. Of course, the weight of each dish is far less than that of the north.

If you go to the northern region, especially to Shandong or Northeast China, you will find that the plates used for serving locally are generally basin-shaped utensils. Moreover, ordinary families in the north generally pay attention to large quantities and benefits when eating, and don't pay much attention to the problem of setting dishes and collocation. This is related to the rough and generous character and informal habits in the northern region.

But in southern culture, it is very delicate. Strive for perfection and quality in everything, which also makes the dishes in the southern region show the characteristics of color, flavor and taste as a whole. Even the meals on the daily table of ordinary families are the same.

It is precisely because of the differences in food culture between the north and the south that the weight of each meal is different, so it is formed that the weight is small and the quantity is large when eating in the south. In the northern region, the weight is sufficient but the quantity is small.

However, this situation is gradually changing. With the mutual mobility of the country's population, cultural customs between different places are also influencing and interacting with each other. At the same time, with the continuous improvement of economic conditions, more and more people pay attention to the nutrition of diet and begin to pursue exquisite eating habits. Northern Renye Fang is gradually changing the traditional food culture.

You may not know the living habits of northerners. For example, in a family of three, southerners usually have four dishes, three vegetarian dishes and one meat. For example, vegetarian fried beans, fried shredded potatoes, vegetarian fried corn kernels and braised pork ribs are the four major dishes in the south. Northerners are not like this. They usually have two courses. They will combine these four dishes in the south. It tastes more fragrant, and the pot can be covered with film. The second course is a very light home-cooked cold salad. Cold salad is generally composed of several dishes, such as cucumber, skin-lifting, bean curd skin and shredded carrot. In fact, these two dishes in the north are more than twice as many as those in the south. Things can't just look at the surface. Northerners pay attention to reality, not tinkering, but to science.

I grew up in the north and got married and settled in the south, and I still have a good understanding of this problem!

First of all, northerners love pasta very much, perhaps because of the weather or the inheritance of folk customs. Every mother in the north can easily steam steamed buns, sugar packets, flower rolls and meat rolls in many colors for you, and more coincidentally, they can also steam flowers, hedgehogs, pigs, mice and other shapes.

Steamed buns, jiaozi, pies, vegetables and meat you like can be eaten; There are all kinds of noodles with gravy, Zhajiang Noodles, and noodles with sesame sauce, which will go with all kinds of vegetables and meat.

Let's talk about southern cuisine. The staple food in the south is mainly rice, and the dishes are light in taste. They will prefer more specific practices, such as frying vegetables, which means frying vegetables. A dish will hold up a dish, and the weight will be much more delicate than that in the north.

On the dining table in the north, the staple food may already contain a lot of vegetables and meat, so compared with the south, the requirement for cooking is not particularly urgent.

Moreover, because the cooking methods in the north will adopt stewing and stewing, a dish usually contains several dishes, such as Radix Rehmanniae, stewed noodles with Chinese cabbage and tofu, stewed beef with potatoes and so on. Even if each dish is small, it will add up to a little larger, usually the kind of big plate that a big family eats.

Although you can eat many kinds of vegetables at the North Table, such as 5-8 kinds, it may be reflected in the fact that there are only 2-3 dishes on the dish plate, so it seems that there are not many dishes.

In the south, when a family eats together, there may be 5-8 kinds of dishes in 5-8 kinds, so the number of dining tables in the south seems to be more than that in the north.

As a northerner, I think this question is also wrong. Many northerners have several dishes in a meal, especially some northerners, who like to drink several cups every day.

First, eating habits are different.

Second, the products and climatic conditions are different.

There is a joke that a young female reporter from a newspaper in the south went to a county in the north for an interview. Because this interview was officially arranged and friends came from afar, the local county government arranged a reception. Of course, she was not the only one who received it, and other reporters of the interview group also received it.

That night, the female reporter wrote an internal reference draft overnight and reported it to the new H society, saying that the local county government was extravagant and wasteful, eating and drinking. Later, the New H Society sent a reporter to investigate, only to find that the reporter's report was untrue. The reception of the county government not only did not exceed the standard, but was relatively simple.

It turned out that the local county government only hosted a few hometown specialties: hand-grabbed meat, roasted lamb chops, stir-fried chicken and the like, as well as some cold dishes and pasta. This level, that is, the level of local ordinary families receiving guests, is not a luxury.

As can be seen from this joke, the eating habits of southerners and northerners are still very different.
