That is the long-famous Big Pot Elbow at the foot of Tiansheng Bridge. Dapen elbow is mainly produced in Tianqiao Town, formerly known as Dongxiaguan. The locals also call it Dongxiaguan elbow.

It is said that its cooking skills originated from Ming Dynasty, and it was a delicacy that was indispensable for the imperial meals of the Ming and Qing dynasties. As the name suggests, the dish is made of pig knuckles from self-raised pigs in the mountains, potatoes grown by farmers, pure potato vermicelli and tofu in a large enamel basin as the main ingredients, with various accessories added. , made by simmering over warm fire. The pork knuckle is braised and cut into large pieces of meat about two centimeters thick and six to seven centimeters long. The meat is tender and not greasy, and it tastes delicious. While

was talking, a large basin of elbow meat had been brought to the dining table. The meat of the elbow was not even red, moderately fat and thin, smooth and tender. It naturally covered the surface of the basin and was already crispy to the eye. The large yellow potatoes were milky white and red. Tofu and vermicelli stick out between the pieces of meat; the sauce-colored broth is glistening with oil; the surface is dotted with randomly folded coriander stems and leaves; the aroma is of meat, sauce, potatoes, and coriander, For a moment, the hot air rose up, burning into the nostrils and whetting the appetite.

I thought the pork knuckle would be fatty, so I put a piece of it into my mouth and chewed it lightly. It was smooth and sharp, fragrant but not greasy, and filled my mouth with fragrance. Relatives and friends sit around and eat, really feeling as generous as eating big mouthfuls of meat and drinking big bowls of wine. With the addition of delicate and fragrant potatoes, chewy homemade vermicelli and fresh and refreshing marinated tofu, when you were enjoying your meal, you even forgot to change the cup.

After drinking for three rounds, the big basin of pork elbows was all gone. The waiter brought out two plates of brown thin rolls, neatly arranged into a round shape. These were oatmeal noodles. Put the leftover broth from a large pot of elbow into a bowl, then tear off the oatmeal noodles and soak them before eating. It is so delicious. It turns out that the broth also has such a use. Either add rice, or just serve pot stickers and pancakes. A bowl full of elbow elbows, a table of cold dishes, and a few staple food were all wiped out by us in this way. Wipe your mouth, pat your belly, and enjoy it.
