Tomb-Sweeping Day, what traditional snacks are there in your hometown?

As a foodie, this question is of course necessary.

My hometown is one of the famous hometown of overseas Chinese: Heshan.

The cuisines here are mainly Guangfu cuisine and Hakka cuisine, so Qingming's special snacks also have the characteristics of both cuisines.

Then I will talk about the Qingming special snacks in my hometown, in the order I like.

Guangfu cuisine

First of all, sweet potato horn

(ps: Don't dislike my ugly picture. I've been looking for this sweet potato horn for a long time. )

Before and after Tomb-Sweeping Day, every household here would make this sweet potato horn to worship their ancestors.

Exercise:

Ingredients: sweet potato, peanut oil, fried peanuts, sugar.

1. Steamed a large pot of sweet potatoes, peeled and poured into a plate, and kneaded into cakes.

2. Then mix with glutinous rice flour and knead into round pieces.

3. Wrap peanuts and sugar.

4. Put it in the oil pan and fry until golden brown.

Second, chicken excrement rattan cake

As the name implies, it is made of a plant called Celastrus orbiculatus. You must want to ask if it tastes as bad as stinky tofu. ",in fact, on the contrary, its fragrance is not" smelly ".
