Guangzhou is a very magical place. Not only is the economy and trade developed here, but the scenery and food are not worse than other places. In terms of food, Guangzhou is quite knowledgeable. There are countless snacks, braised flavors, barbecues, etc. This kind of Feng Shui also breeds many foodies.
To talk about what Chaoshan lomei is most famous for, it should be braised goose. In Guangdong, no matter what the ingredients are, as long as it is delicious and edible, it cannot escape the magic of the Cantonese.
is different from the usual black goose used for roasting goose. The Chaoshan braised goose uses the largest lion head goose in the world. It is very domineering when you hear its name. This is cultivated by our folks. Excellent varieties, mostly distributed in Chaoshan, Chenghai, and Shantou suburbs of Guangdong.
is called a lion-head goose because of the huge sarcoma on its head, like the head of a lion. This goose is also very grumpy, not only daring to chase vicious goose The wolf dog runs, if people anger it, he even dares to chase and bite.
Many people had the experience of throwing geese with stones and being chased by geese when they were young (including me). Its fierceness can even be used to guard the house, which shows its strong combat effectiveness.
There is a reason why the head of the stewed goose is so expensive. The lion head goose of the general lion head goose is expensive, but it has not reached the point of thousands, of course not all Lion head geese can reach this price.
The reason why some lion-head geese can sell for thousands of heads is because of the sarcoma on the head, which is made by marinating old lion-head geese that have been raised for more than two years. The meat of the older goose is too old and is not tasty anymore and can only be used for stewing or other purposes.
But the sarcoma on the head of a lion’s head goose can grow very big in two years. The price is more expensive here. This sarcoma occupies more than 90% of the overall value, but this kind of older goose is very rare.
There used to be a goose head that sold for more than 800 yuan, plus two wings, two palms and foie gras. The overall value is an astonishing 1,500 yuan or more, which can be said to be an exaggeration. In the eyes of experts, it is worth the price, and they are willing to pay for it.
Braised goose was once rated as one of the top ten classic Cantonese dishes. It can be said to have a very outstanding reputation. It is not only the nurturing of a culture, but also a lot of feelings that cannot be erased in the hearts of foreigners. The lingering taste of hometown, there are many roast geese outside, but they are not familiar to me.
