What is the staple food in Shandong?

Shandong's staple food is noodles, steamed bread, jiaozi and other pasta, and rice is also a favorite of a few people. Shandong people have special eating habits. The staple food is pasta, and the consumption of rice is very small. This is because Shandong is a wheat producing area, of course, pasta is the main food, while Jiangsu in the south, Beijing and Tianjin in the north and Northeast China all like to eat rice. In addition, Shandong people do not particularly accept special foods such as Yuanxiao, glutinous rice balls and zongzi, and jiaozi is often regarded as a substitute for festivals.
