Obviously, it is a vegetable. What northern and southern dishes are called completely differently?

As we all know, there are great differences in food culture between the north and the south, but in a special period, it turned out to be an indispensable food for northerners, and it was almost sold out in the south. If you don't travel and visit relatives and friends, you may never know that flour can play all kinds of tricks, and even fried dough sticks can be used at once. It's delicious! Although with the development of network communication, the relationship between the north and the south is also close, in any case, there are still many habits that cannot be unified, and the differences in diet structure cannot be changed at once.

Just like the name of food, it is learned from childhood. Once it is catchy, it is difficult to correct it. If you want to know whether a person is a southerner or a northerner, you can test him/her with these five vegetables. When in Rome, do as the Romans do, and when you get there, you have to change your tune. It is easy to make jokes if you don't know!

First of all, cauliflower, cauliflower

Cauliflower and cauliflower have always been the same cruciferous vegetable. The former is the name of the south, while the north reads the two words upside down. Don't be surprised if you see "cauliflower cauliflower" and "cauliflower cauliflower" in two different areas. Actually, it's the same dish.

Second, potatoes and yam eggs.

As the main cash crop in China, potato has many aliases. Known as Dutch potato in Russia; In Italy, it is called sweet bean; In France, it is called apple; It is also called potato in China. As for northern China, which has a vast territory and rich resources, people affectionately call it Yam Egg. At first glance, I thought it was related to yam, but it was not a species. There is also a dish in the northern restaurant called "Fried Yam Eggs". Southerners look puzzled and will never joke again after understanding!

Third, coriander and coriander

Chopped green onion and coriander are often used to decorate and improve the taste after cooking every day. But in the northern food market, you can never find coriander, because it is called coriander locally. Although its taste is deeply loved and disliked by some people, for northerners who have eaten green onions and garlic, every household eats it. Therefore, I am not afraid that I can't buy it, and I am afraid that I will call it the wrong name.

Fourth, tomatoes and persimmons.

In the south, another name for tomato is tomato. I didn't know until I went to the north that there were only "persimmons" and no tomatoes in the vegetable market. And this persimmon is not a fruit persimmon hanging high on the branches like a red lantern. This is the red tomato that we often eat. As a kind of foreign goods imported from abroad, northerners will habitually omit the word "foreign" and call it persimmon directly after it is planted and eaten in China. Make jokes if you don't understand!

Five, cabbage, fennel white

When Gourmet Jun first heard a colleague in the north refer to the cabbage in the lunch box as fennel white, he realized that it had another name, because in the south, it was mostly cabbage and cabbage. In addition to Chinese cabbage, fennel white is also a favorite home-cooked dish of northerners. It can be eaten raw or fried with pepper and vinegar, especially its crisp taste. In Wenzhou, Gourmet Jun also ate fried cabbage with some bean paste, which was very delicious!
