What do Cantonese people like to eat?

Cantonese people not only "eat people", but also children and women.

We also eat "vehicles", whether on land or in water, and even we can eat "ghosts" in our stomachs.

In short, it can be said that Guangdong people fly in the sky, run on the ground and swim in the water, and there is nothing they dare not eat, and there is nothing they can't eat. If you don't believe me, I'll give you a list:

"cannibalism":

People are iron rice steel, and they are hungry without eating a meal. As Cantonese, what they eat most is rice. We have a kind of rice called "clay pot rice".

Children are children, and as the name implies, they are the meals cooked by children.

Besides eating children, we are also called "eat woman". There is a very famous cake in Guangdong called "Old Lady Cake". Let me tell you, this kind of cake is made by my wife. It tastes sweet and fragrant, and it smells like my wife.

In addition to the old lady's cake, of course, there are also cakes for blind men. Choose a blind old man and make a cake with him. But maybe the old man is too old and doesn't taste good. At least I don't like it myself. Alas, as a Cantonese who eats everything, I am ashamed.

Eat "transportation"

Apart from cannibalism, Cantonese people's favorite means of transportation is "boat porridge", which is the favorite of people in Guangzhou, the capital city of Guangdong Province, and boat porridge is of course made from boats on the river.

In addition, there is a kind of car-made noodles. Although car-made noodles originated in Hong Kong, for powerful Cantonese, eating transportation is our favorite. How can I give up? Therefore, car-made noodles are also very popular in Guangdong.

Eat "ghosts"

What about this ghost? We don't cook for nothing, we don't braise in soy sauce, we fry!

The practice is actually very simple. Catch a ghost and fry it in a pot of hot oil. After the explosion, it became a "ghost bomb". Because ghosts can only be caught at night, we usually eat them in the morning after they are caught, which is more delicious.

Ahem, well, the above idle talk time is over, and I officially begin to explain the dividing line-

In fact, I just want to roll my eyes at the prejudice that Cantonese people dare to eat anything. How strange it is to watch less! Please don't do this to siao.

I don't deny that Cantonese people are really keen on food. In a questionnaire about the attention paid to Cantonese cuisine in the top ten cities in China, Cantonese people pay high attention to Cantonese cuisine, followed by Shanghai, Guangxi and Beijing.

Just because you like eating doesn't mean eating everything. Many people's prejudice against Cantonese people who dare to eat anything comes from some movies, but movies often adopt some exaggerated expressions to achieve a certain effect, magnifying something that usually looks a little unusual to the eyes of the audience, so as to win the audience's attention and give them an illusion that it is ok.

In addition, let's talk about some questions foreigners have about Cantonese:

Why do Cantonese people prefer to eat fresh food?

Guangdong's climate is very hot and humid, the environment is not good, and food is easy to rot in the sultry environment. In such an environment, Cantonese people pursue freshness when eating. If they don't pursue novelty, they can only collectively be scavengers.

Therefore, Cantonese cuisine pursues smoothness, crispness and originality in cooking, and Cantonese people also like steaming and raw food because they deliberately pursue the word "fresh" for raw materials.

Why do Cantonese people use strange herbs to make soup?

The so-called homology of medicine and food has existed throughout the ages, but Cantonese people are keen on it, which is actually forced by the weather.

The sultry climate makes Cantonese people generally have an innate "hot air" imagination about their bodies.

Guangdong people's "hot air" is called "getting angry" by northerners. Another important difference is that "getting angry" is accidental and "hot air" is inertial.

Guangdong people's experience shows that eating can solve health problems, even if it can't be controlled, it can be contained in the bud.

So we drink herbal tea and boil medicinal soup, some of which also include wild animals.

Why do Cantonese people prefer to eat all kinds of strange foods?

There is a saying in the Southern Song Dynasty's "A Generation Beyond the Ridge" that "no matter what birds, animals, insects and snakes eat".

But in fact, Guangdong is not the city that pays the most attention to exotic food. In a survey of exotic foods in major cities in China, Chongqing is the province that pays the most attention to exotic foods, followed by Guangdong. The data shows that Chongqing is most concerned about strange foods such as snakes and silkworm chrysalis.

People often say that food is in Guangzhou and Chongqing is also the capital of food, but both cities are on the list of exotic foods. Can this show that the city that loves food actually has a more unique taste? (For example, there are baked rabbit heads and brain flowers in Chongqing, which some people find unacceptable. )
