What kind of culture and habits do Hainan people have about diet?

I come from Haikou. Hainan's diet is mainly light. Most people in Hainan are friendly and simple. At least the friends I know are like this. For the older generation, it may be difficult to get them to accept peppers. But for the younger generation, it is still possible. As for bacon, Hainan also has it. But it varies from person to person. Some people like eating, others don't. Just introduce them to the specialties of your hometown, and they will respect you even if they don't like it. At the same time, they will warmly invite you to taste the delicious food in Hainan. I feel that I am so eclectic, and I am willing to accept anything good. Even if I don't like it, I will respect other people's ideas. Of course, I have to reserve my opinion. Then, introduce Hainan's specialty: native products.

Traditional famous dishes

Wenchang chicken, the first of the "four famous dishes", is a kind of high-quality fattening chicken, named after it was produced in Wenchang, Hainan Province. According to legend, Wenchang Chicken first came from Tianci Village, Tanniu Town, a local village, where banyan trees grow. The seeds of banyan trees are rich in nutrition, and domestic chickens peck at them, making them in excellent health. Wenchang Chicken is characterized by its small size, weighing about 1.5 kg, bright coat, short wings and feet, round and flat body, thin and smooth skin and fat meat. Hainan people eat Wenchang chicken, the traditional way is to chop it (also called "white cut"), which can best reflect the original flavor of Wenchang chicken, delicious and tender. At the same time, chicken oil and chicken soup rice is commonly known as "chicken rice", which Hainan people call "eating chicken rice", including boiled chicken. White-cut Wenchang chicken is used for banquets, light meals or family dishes in Hainan. In Hong Kong and Southeast Asia, it is highly respected and has a good reputation.

Jiaji duck, one of the "four famous dishes", commonly known as muscovy duck, was introduced from abroad by overseas Chinese of Qiong nationality in the early years. It was first bred in Jiaji Town, qionghai city, and is the most famous muscovy duck raised by a resident of Jiaxiang Street in this town. The method of raising ducks is particularly particular: first, feed the ducklings with fresh water fish, shrimp or earthworm cockroaches. After about two months, when the ducklings' feathers first appear, they will be circled in a small circle to narrow their range of activities, mixed with rice and rice bran and kneaded into small pieces to feed, and then they will grow into meat ducks in 20 days. It is characterized by thick duck meat, white and crisp skin, and a thin layer of fat between the skin and the meat, which is particularly sweet. There are many cooking methods for Cargill duck, but "white chop" (also known as "white cut") is the most famous because it can best reflect the original flavor.

Lehe Crab, one of the "four famous dishes", is produced in Lehe Town, Wanning County, Hainan Province. It is famous for its hard shell and rich meat sauce, and ranks as one of the four famous products in Hainan along with Wenchang Chicken, Gigi Duck and Dong Goat. The cooking methods of "Lehe Crab" are various, such as steaming, boiling, frying, baking, etc., and each has its own characteristics, especially "steaming", which not only maintains the original flavor, but also maintains the original beauty of color.
