The source of eating omelets in Taizhou Luqiao and other areas during the Dragon Boat Festival

This is a special snack in Taizhou. Eating cake cones, also known as catching sheep with five tigers, as the name implies, is to wrap all kinds of delicious things into cones with thin paper wheat bran (also rice cones baked with rice paste). It is a famous snack in Taizhou. Commonly known as "wheat coke", there are also wheat cake tubes and tin cakes. This kind of snack is a must-eat in this area during the Dragon Boat Festival every year.

Originated in Huangyan, recorded in local chronicles to commemorate Qi Jiguang. According to legend, the origin of cake containers is related to Qi Jiguang. It is said that Taizhou people cooked a lot of dishes to reward Qi Jiajun, but it was too far away to carry and even send bowls, so smart people brought pancakes, wrapped them up and served them conveniently. So the Dragon Boat Festival in Taizhou, besides commemorating Qu Yuan, can also commemorate Qi Jiguang by the way.
