There are no hand-grabbed cakes in Taiwan Province province, and there are no big wonton in Wenzhou.

In Taiwan Province Province, the hand-held cakes come from Tianjin.

In Tianjin, the hand-held cake comes from Taiwan Province Province.

There is no doubt that it is so magical.

As a compatriot in Taiwan Province Province, sometimes I really doubt whether I am a fake Taiwan Province native.

For example, in any city on the mainland, I will encounter "Taiwan Province snacks I have never seen" at any time: Taiwan Province hand-grabbed cakes, Taiwan Province sausages, Taiwan Province iced noodles, Taiwan Province coconut milk, Taiwan Province fried fish cakes, and Taiwan Province bento (is this a snack? ! )……

In front of tourist attractions, in the night market where diners compete, in the CBD where office workers run, and even in the breakfast shop next to the subway station, they may suddenly appear, making my heart tremble slightly, as if the breath of my hometown came to my face, but then a question mark appeared on my face:

What kind of rice cake is this? What the hell are these things? )

Not only have I never eaten these "Taiwan Province snacks", but I have never seen them in my hometown. Every time we meet, it will inspire my life. The first question: Where am I from?

Let's say "Taiwan Province Province grabs cakes". It looks a bit like an intermediate between chicken rolls and pancake fruit, a kind of deep-fried thousand-layer cake with sausages, vegetables and eggs. The point is, I have searched in my memory for a long time, but I can't find its equivalent in Taiwan Province Province, the treasure island of our country.

What's the taste of cakes in my hometown? I think of the night market near my hometown, the small scallion cake stall, where the shop owner brushed thick oil on the iron plate and several cakes sizzled in the smell of scallion oil. Under the dim light, the smell of onions and fireworks came to my face, and I remembered that person, that unforgettable summer night. ...

Suddenly, a warm "Brother Lai" brought me back to reality.

Oh, my God. Aunt, don't do this, don't spoil the atmosphere like this. ...

Taiwan Province Province really didn't grab the cake. It has five vigorous and powerful Chinese characters on the real car body of Bao Dao: Tianjin Grabbing Onion Cake.

In 200 1 year, there was a shoe store in Yongkang Street, Taipei. The boss is a mainlander. Just that year, he flew to the mainland to travel, and in Tianjin, he met Jinan Oil Spinning, a delicious food that fascinated him. He found that the doughnut looks simple, but it is very skillful to make. The whole pancake is crisp because of its layered crispness. This is the taste that Taiwan Province Province, the treasure island, didn't have at that time.

After the boss returned to Taipei, he simplified the method of making oil-spinning, made the cake noodles bigger, fewer layers and fluffy, and added the local people's favorite taste of salt and pepper, so the embryonic form of "Taiwan Province Hand-grabbed Cake" was born.

As for how to choose a name, it is really a difficult problem. In Taiwan Province Province, it is called "Taipei Hand-grabbed Cake", so there is no market. If it is called "Shandong Oil Vortex", there are too many "Shandong Cuisine" advertised locally (Shandong Big Steamed Bread, Shandong Old jiaozi ...), and there is no advantage; Why not call Tianjin scallion cake?

The shoe store closed it and started selling cakes. Sure enough, as expected by the boss, "Tianjin Onions Grab Cakes" was an instant hit. Yongkang Street in Taipei is already crowded with restaurants. This time, with the new network celebrity cuisine, it is still brand-new and even more crowded. In 2004, a Chai Xing boss came to Taipei and tasted this popular "Taiwan Province Province Snack". ...

Later, Boss Chai returned to the mainland and vigorously promoted this "Tianjin Scallion Oil Cake", which was not only renamed as "Taiwan Province Snack Cake", but also invited Jay Chou as an endorsement. At that time, "Taiwan Province Snacks" were rare in Chinese mainland, and "Taiwan Province Snacks" immediately occupied the streets. You all know the next story. ...

It's a piece of cake, from Shandong to Tianjin, across the ocean to Taiwan Province Province, and then back to the mainland. This feeling, like a misfit, has made a beautiful marriage.

It doesn't matter whether it is true or not. It is most important for everyone to have fun, and it is also good to increase the exposure for their hometown.

It's just ... Auntie, why don't I teach you some Taiwan Province accent?

The story of "cake grabbing in Taiwan Province Province" is a bit absurd, but it is interesting when you think about it. A piece of cake, around a big circle, unchanged; We all come from China and have similar tastes and likes and dislikes.

However, sausages in Taiwan Province Province are a different face.

Most of the "Taiwan Province Sausages" you see on the mainland are turned around on a sausage machine. When cooked, you take a bunch of bamboo sticks and delicious sausages. It uses ham sausage, or "hot dog sausage", and starch is a very important raw material.

The real Taiwan Province sausage is made of minced pork, marinated with spices and rice wine (the taste of wine is very important), then filled with natural casing, dried and smoked, which is a bit like an enlarged version of Cantonese sausage, but there is no starch at all. When baking sausages in Taiwan Province Province, you must use an open flame-it will smell good.

Sausage is a very common street food in Taiwan Province Province, Bao Dao. Generally, it's a charcoal fire stall, and the sausages are baked golden red and oily. A more careful store will cut the freshly baked sausage and mix it with garlic paste and nine-story tower to taste. Bite it down, and all kinds of juice, meat, oil and wine are in your mouth, oh. ...

As for the sausage machine, we usually call it "hot dog", which is an exotic product and usually appears in convenience stores. It can be eaten alone or with bread and western sauce. It is a cheap western food. Western-style hot dog sausage or ham sausage with mainland characteristics is really different from Taiwan Province sausage.

Once upon a time, a cup of tea was very different on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. In the 20th/kloc-0th/0th century, the mainland's "Taiwan Province Tea" was usually made of powder. Just mix the powder according to the taste, shake it in hot water, and then add the cooked rice balls to make a cup of "bubble tea".

There is also tea brewed locally in Taiwan Province Province, and powder is refused. 20 1 1 year, a plasticizer crisis broke out in Taiwan Province province, and a variety of milk tea powder were found to be carcinogenic, which directly led to the "upgrade of milk tea": stores must emphasize that they are making tea, "pearls" should be cooked fresh, and fresh milk should use designated brands to reassure consumers.

Only fresh tea, pink balls and fresh milk are used, which used to be the characteristic of Taiwan Province bubble tea.

Now, the hand-cranked tea industry in Chinese mainland has blossomed everywhere. They not only use new tea, but also tea varieties from all over the world for you to choose from; They are not only pink round Q bombs, but also add more magical flavor (explosion with additional heat); They not only have fresh milk, but also soy milk, oat milk and cold-pressed milk ... which has long surpassed their counterparts on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.

Cross-strait cuisine, this is a historical cycle.

Taiwan Province cuisine, you must have heard of its reputation.

But in Taiwan Province Province, it is easy to be confused by all kinds of wonderful sights-Wenzhou big wonton, Shandong big steamed bread, Yunnan rice noodles, Beijing roast duck, Fuzhou fish balls and so on. , often * * * full street; Coupled with the Minnan flavor such as vegetable head pot, roasted meat dumplings and oyster omelet, you will definitely ask: What is Taiwanese food?

The taste of Taiwan Province Province is a wonderful hodgepodge. This island is not big, but it accepts all corners of the country; People from afar have also brought the food culture of their hometown. Over a long period of time, various taste preferences gradually took root on this island, and changed due to special customs and culture, and finally flourished and merged into a unique Taiwan Province flavor.

Taiwan Province beef noodles, which we are familiar with, is the product of this unique food culture.

It originated in Okayama, Kaohsiung. "Family Village" refers to the village where soldiers from all provinces and their families retreated to Taiwan Province Province with the Kuomintang after 1949. Being a school of its own, it can be understood as the "Military Academy" of Taiwan Province Province. As residents come from mainland provinces, the food in family villages is also varied. Sichuan cuisine, Cantonese cuisine, Northeast cuisine and steamed dumplings with steamed bread and oil cakes are closely nestled together.

Okayama family village is the home of families in the southwest. In order to make a living, veterans improved the "small bowl of beef in red soup" of Sichuan cuisine with local yellow beef in Taiwan Province Province; They found northwest veterans and made handmade noodles with flour with the assistance of the US military. Finally, they seasoned with local spicy bean paste, and finally made a bowl of beef noodles full of homesickness and yearning.

This is "Zucun Beef Noodles" and the origin of beef noodles in Taiwan Province Province.

Later, this bowl of "Zucun Beef Noodles" spread and experienced a series of transformations. In order to take care of diners from all over the world, its spicy taste is reduced and its umami taste is increased; Add Shandong people's onion burning technology and Minnan people's spice marinade; There are also sweet soy sauce from Shanghainese, sauerkraut from Hakka, sand tea from Nanyang merchants, and crispy red onion in Taiwan Province Province. ...

This is also a model of the transformation of the taste of a family village and the local flavor of Baodao. Traditionally, most of the natives in Taiwan Province Province are descendants of Fujian immigrants, with profound farming traditions and folk beliefs of not eating beef; Taiwan Province Province is not suitable for wheat growth and lacks the tradition of pasta. Eating noodles was once a sign of mainlanders.

Therefore, eating a bowl of beef noodles with family not only changed the eating habits of Bao Dao, but also became the name card of Taiwan Province cuisine.

Many cuisines in Bao Dao are similar to beef noodles in Taiwan Province: flavors from all over China are concentrated, mixed into new flavors, and then listed under a familiar name.

In the early years, Taiwan Province Province was short of materials, and it stood out from the melting pot, and the food that has been propagated so far is already a leader. After all, these smells come from all corners of the country, each bearing an unspeakable fate and the burden of the times. There are more creations, which eventually disappear in the torrent of history for various reasons.

Dieters, thousands of people in Qian Qian in the world, are rushing by; Be a foodie, with a livelihood and a full struggle background. Therefore, when you stroll through the night market in Taiwan Province and are questioned about "the big wonton that Wenzhou has no", "the steamed buns that didn't originate in Shanghai" and "the small pot rice noodles without pickles", don't rush to accuse them of being untrue.

They are just trying to restore the taste of their hometown deep in their memories. If you don't try to catch it, you really can't remember it.

They just miss home, but they can't say it.

Snacks, pineapple cake and sun cakes.

Two shoulders of dim sum industry in Taiwan Province province. Pineapple cake originated from Sichuan Longfeng Cake. At first, it was filled with melon candy. Because Taiwan Province Province is rich in pineapple, it was changed into a mixed stuffing of pineapple and wax gourd, which was made by combining the West Point technology and became the pineapple cake of Taiwan Province Province today.

Relieve the craving for meatballs

Born at the end of 19, it is said that it was created by a temple in Changhua County. At that time, when Taiwan Province Province was flooded, the temple kneaded sweet potato powder into a ball, and the leaves were cooked for disaster relief, which was the embryonic form of meatballs. Later, it was improved, mixed with sweet potato powder and sticky rice flour, and stuffed with braised pork, bamboo shoots, shrimp and so on. Boil in an oil pan (or water), then pour in the secret sauce, and the Q bomb relieves the thirst.

Bida, milk fish

Milk fish is a common fish in Taiwan Province Province, and it can be eaten in various ways. It can be made into fish balls, porridge or fish soup. It has a lot of thorns, which requires the chef to have certain skills. It has a special flavor, which most tourists (including people in the north of Taiwan Province Province) can't get used to, but it is regarded as a treasure by people in the south. If you want to find fault, you can ask, "Is the mandarin fish delicious?" Tainan and Taipei will start quarreling. ...

Play with teeth and iron eggs

Grandma's Iron Egg is very famous in North Taiwan Province Province. After the eggs and bird eggs are cooked and shelled, they are marinated in special brine for three hours, picked up and dried naturally, marinated for three hours, dried again, and then continued ... If this situation lasts for one week, the black and shiny iron eggs will be regarded as finished. It's dark, hard and chewy, so it's hard to eat with your heart.
