For foodies like codooners who are eager to celebrate the motherland's birthday, sightseeing is weak; eating is our ultimate goal!
When it comes to food, every region in the country has its own representative cuisine. But if you ask which province has the best food, it might spark a fierce debate across the country.What is the best thing to eat in Greater China? Hmm, that might be 'people.'Yes, you heard it right, and you read it right. 'The best thing to eat is people' is a phrase said by the chief director of 'A Bite of China' at the launch of his new book 'The Best Taste in the World.' However, the original meaning should be that where you eat and what you eat are not important; what matters is who you eat with. But today, we are going to talk about the literal meaning. Hmm, let's take advantage of the National Day holiday to study the 'taste' of people from different provinces.
Ahem, before we start feasting, let's seriously study theEating Guide(Don't blame Little Jian if you end up eating meat that doesn't suit your taste; I won't take the blame).
To savor the taste of people from different regions, the first task is to understand your own taste preferences, followed by the parts you like to eat. For those with good teeth, it's recommended to choose parts with full muscles like biceps and thighs. For those with not-so-good teeth, choose easily chewable and digestible parts like belly and flabby arms. Of course, if you want to be unconventional, collarbones and armpits are also good choices.
Next, let's answer the serious question of 'where are the tastiest people from.'
The story starts from the hottest July in history when a netizen from Chengdu wrote a joke about Chengdu's weather, which unexpectedly sparked a nationwide trend of 'feeding salt to one's hometown.'
Tasting Guide, here we go: 'Fujian people are fresh and light; Sichuan people are spicy and numbing, just the smell makes you drool; if you want spicy but can't handle numbing, try Hunan people; don't eat Beijing people, their meat has become rough and tasteless due to smog; Inner Mongolians are cost-effective, not only can you have hotpot meat but also milk; Zhejiang people are suitable for boiled meat slices, Xinjiang people have a mutton and raisin flavor... Be careful with Yunnan people, or you might get scammed; Shandong people are too salty, don't dip them in sauce; Shanxi people are best made into dumplings with aged vinegar; Shaanxi people have too much sand, soak them in water to spit out the sand; Jiangxi people are suitable for making clay pot soup; Anhui people are best enjoyed after a meal, made into tea.'
Can't control your drooling yet? As a member of a foodie nation, you know how to enjoy life. Whether it's flying in the sky, swimming in the water, or crawling on the ground... if you want to eat it, there's nothing you can't eat. But while eating, be sure to avoid some physical discomforts, such as allergies, especially if you're allergic to seafood, don't eat Fujian people; when choosing Yunnan people, keep your eyes wide open, or you might pick something poisonous.
