Why are Beijing and Hangzhou called "gourmet deserts"?

China's food culture is extensive and profound, and many cities are scrambling for the honorary title of "Food Capital".

Many gourmets rush to these cities just to "eat" and satisfy their "appetite".

It is a fact that diet drives the economy.

On the contrary, several cities were awarded the honor of "gourmet desert", which made foodies shake their heads and stop sprinting.

So when it comes to "gourmet desert", which city will be your first reaction?

According to the statistics of "gourmet desert" published by a social platform user, the following ten cities were selected.

According to the statistics from DT Finance, the time span is 2065438+June-202, 20071April * * and the related contents of 16 14 are obtained.

Almost all of these cities are big cities with prosperous economies, with a large number of migrants, and some of them may be listed because they are difficult to adjust.

Beijing was mentioned 82 times/kloc-0 times, ranking first with a high mention rate of over 50%, followed by Hangzhou with a mention rate of 549 times. Is this ranking unfair?

Why are the data in Beijing and Hangzhou much higher than those in other cities? This question is worth pondering.

So, today, let's discuss why Beijing and Hangzhou, two big cities, fell here!

Beijing, the capital, is a first-tier city in the world, which needs economy, culture and history. Actually, there is no shortage of food.

Beijing roast duck, instant-boiled mutton, roasted meat, Zhajiang Noodles, tripe, Daoxiangcun cakes and so on are all Beijing specialties. Secondly, there are many shopping malls in Beijing, more than 80% of the restaurant chain brands have settled in, and local snacks and food will also appear in the streets of Beijing for the first time.

Let me briefly talk about Hangzhou, the capital of Zhejiang, a cultural and historical ancient city with the reputation of "paradise on earth".

Hangzhou dishes is the main seat of hangzhou dishes, from West Lake vinegar fish to Longjing shrimp, from Dongpo meat to a taste of south breast meat, and from Song Saoyu soup to West Lake beef soup, almost all of them are well-known classic dishes. Many literati have formed a fate with many dishes in Hangzhou, and many stories have been circulated. In addition to the time-honored restaurants famous for classic hangzhou dishes, there are also well-known catering brands and local delicacies and snacks in recent years.

Seeing that many friends here have more questions,

So it seems that there is no shortage of all kinds of food in Beijing and Hangzhou. Why are they called "gourmet deserts"?

What is the problem? Often dubbed the "gourmet desert"!

First, local traditional cuisine is not recognized and accepted by people.

Beijing can be associated with the "gourmet desert", and various traditional snacks account for half of the credit, such as bean juice, braised pork, fried liver, noodles and tea. Although these are the hearts of authentic old Beijingers, they are more like "dark dishes" for foreign tourists and migrant workers. There is no exquisite appetizing appearance, and the taste also makes many people discouraged, which can be described as a double blow to vision and taste.

In the eyes of Beijingers, bean juice with inby and shredded pickles is a good breakfast. But in the evaluation of foreigners, bean juice is more like rotten swill, with a sour taste. Once you drink it, it will be "unforgettable", and the idea of never drinking it again will pop up in your mind.

Stewed and fried livers are filled with a lot of fat intestines and pig livers, which makes many people flinch. In addition, red sauce soup and sauce keep foreigners away.
