Why can't Hu Zhaotang go out of Henan?

Hu spicy soup is the most famous breakfast snack in Henan, most Henan people grew up drinking this bowl of soup, for Hu spicy soup is a very deep feeling. Especially paste spicy soup on the tip of the tongue of China, many Henan friends, but also very much want to see friends around the country, can drink this bowl of delicious soup.

But in reality, the hot soup is only sold on the Henan side, Shaanxi also has hot soup, but it seems to be different from Henan.

Henan Hu Hot Spot Soup, why can't they go out of Henan, and can't be seen at breakfast stalls elsewhere?

As a southerner, and in the birthplace of Hu Hot Spot Soup in the town of Easy, Zhoukou area, lived for six years, but also often in different provinces to move around, I come to objectively analyze the reason.

When I first went to Zhoukou, every morning to eat what breakfast, let me very distressed. The local breakfast variety is not as rich as Guangdong. The most common ones are hoisin soup, biscuits, buns, and egg soup with seaweed and shrimp, and fried buns.

I see the local friends like to order a bowl of pure hot pepper soup, or hot pepper soup with tofu brain two mixed, and then order a dozen fried buns, eat with gusto.

But the look of the soup makes it hard for anyone who hasn't eaten it to work up an appetite. In front of those small stores, a big pot of thin spicy soup, look a little like "dark cuisine", in the words of a friend from my hometown, look unappetizing, reminiscent of something bad.

After a few drinks, I started to stop judging people by their appearance and rejected the soup, and in the following years, I often drank it. But I did not fall in love with the spicy soup from then on, the reason is as follows:

The spicy soup is, after all, the cuisine of Henan at that time, the taste of this cuisine is deep into the hearts of the local people, the local people, they are drinking from childhood to old age. They have a deep affection for Hu Hot Soup, but I do not. Because I, like the locals, also have a love for the food of my hometown, and I also think they are the best.

It's the eating habits that belong to each place, with the complex for their hometown, everyone has. Since there is no local custom of consuming hoisin soup, it is only natural that many people will not fall in love with this cuisine from other places.

Besides, there is no reason why Hu Zhi Tang should be a must-have compared to other local cuisines.

Let's talk about Guangdong, Guangdong will gather friends from different places, the local food, is also recognized by many friends from other places, many people leave Guangdong, will miss the local food. But that's the way it is, a lot of food in Guangdong, but also did not blossom in various places.

Conclusion:

Hu Zhaotang, as a traditional breakfast food in Henan, the reason why they can not get out of Henan, not that they are not good.

Finally, the best hot and spicy soup I've ever had in Henan was not in a restaurant or at a breakfast stand, but in a local farmer's home. They use a variety of ingredients to make the soup, such as fungus, ham, cauliflower, beef and so on, and the most important thing is that they make the soup, the appearance of clear soup color, unlike the color of the outside so dark. But it was a lot of work to make it, and it took them a few hours to get it right.
