Can anyone tell me what "Xi'an Gourd Head Steamed Bun" is? "Xi'an gourd head steamed buns"

Gourd-head steamed buns are a specialty snack of the Han people in Xi'an. The calabash head in the gourd-head steamed buns is pig intestines, which is also the homophony of "Hurutou".

Gourd head steamed buns have a long history. According to legend, they originated in the Song Dynasty. At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, Jingzhao Mansion (now Xi'an area) fell under the iron hoof of the Jin people. The Jin people were brutal and oppressed the people in Guanzhong, making the poor people miserable. Unspeakable. At that time, the Jurchen aristocrats collected excessive taxes and had no sense of restraint. They were extravagant and extravagant in their diet and threw away pig intestines and other internal organs that they did not eat. At that time, the poor Han people were short of supplies and could hardly find meat in their daily diet, so they took pig intestines home, cooked them into soup, and made them into steamed buns for consumption.

This kind of steamed buns is unexpectedly delicious. The cooked tripe and intestines are soft, tender and delicious, fat but not greasy, refreshing and refreshing, so this way of eating quickly became popular among the people. Since the ingredients of this delicacy came from the nobles of the Jin Kingdom, the people hated the Jurchen invaders very much, so they privately called it "Hulutou", but they did not dare to call it openly, so it was homophonic for "gourd". Under the brutal rule of the Jin people, the people at the bottom who were unable to resist could only express their silent resistance in this way.
