I am a native of Cantonese, chatting with many friends outside the province, and I have received such a comment about Cantonese many times - Cantonese love to eat.
Cantonese people really like to eat, as the title of the article says, "I want to describe Cantonese people as 'love to eat', I think no one will object", I said a joke, if Cantonese people have the last dollar left in their pockets, then Among them, fifty cents are about to be eaten. Cantonese people have reached the point of "crazy" about "eating", and they are getting deeper and deeper.
How much do Cantonese people like to eat? And listen to me one by one.
Cantonese people's day starts with drinking morning tea. The core of morning tea is not "tea", but a dazzling array of dim sum, sausage noodles , chicken feet , spare ribs , shrimp dumplings , shumai , barbecued pork buns , etc., give people the feeling that there is no trace of breakfast, just like a feast.
Cantonese people drink morning tea really like a feast. It is different from having breakfast in a hurry and perfunctory. It is quite common for a morning tea to last from 7 am to 12 am.
Cantonese people’s love of food is innate. Just kidding, if you ask Cantonese friends to accompany you in line to ask for autographed photos of celebrities, they will say you are “naive”. If a popular restaurant opens at 7 o’clock, then Cantonese people will Waiting in front of the store at 1 o'clock. In the eyes of Cantonese, so-called stars are far less attractive than "food"!
How much Cantonese love to eat is evident in the choice of ingredients .
Guangdong families generally do not have the behavior of buying meat and vegetables for a week and placing them in the refrigerator . The inherent ideology of Cantonese people - all the frozen ingredients are not fresh, and it is unimaginable for 7 days. Pork is best to be slaughtered, fish and shrimp are best caught fresh, cabbage is best to be picked just now...
"Buy the food of the day" is the consensus of Cantonese people, in order to eat the most Fresh ingredients, get up early and rush to the vegetable market , spring, summer, autumn and winter, rain or shine.
Regarding the preservation and inheritance of "tradition", Guangdong is undoubtedly the leader. In addition to the four familiar festivals, weddings, etc., there are also numerous characteristic folk customs all over Guangdong, such as annual example , lighting , race big pig and so on, without exception, these folk customs all contain the key to a "big banquet". As a friend from outside the province invited to a banquet, when the wine is hot, you may "spit": "Cantonese people are too shrewd, under the guise of traditional protection, to achieve their purpose of eating and drinking."
In fact, probably Cantonese people also have The same idea, if the year, the lighting and the banquet are less, it is like the Mona Lisa without a smile, how can it not be regarded as "outstanding".
All customs exist because of the meaning of a "better life", "eat contentment, eat happiness" is exactly that, so why not?
Cantonese people's day starts with morning tea and ends with a supper.
The "snack" mentioned by
is not about eating snacks or cooking noodles because of being hungry in the middle of the night and unable to sleep. Banquet !
Whether in or out of the city, the streets of Guangdong (especially the food street), the darker the night, the more popular the food stalls are. Not staying up late? Is it bad for your health to eat after 21:00? It's just a trick to trick children into going to bed early. When it comes to choosing between food and sleep, Cantonese people will choose the former without hesitation.
Only a full meal and a late-night snack can live up to oneself and a good time.
When I was troubled by at the end of the article "How much Cantonese people like to eat", suddenly realized .
pork chop ; egg powder ; fried squid; stewed mushrooms; Yilu Ge; braised meat ; All of them cannot be eaten, and all of them are curse words.
Therefore, some people joked that you must not quarrel with Cantonese people, because arguing will make you hungry.
I am writing and I am suddenly hungry, okay, let's not talk about it, Old Fire and Beautiful Soup, Roast Goose and Roast Suckling Pig, Claypot Rice, White Cut Chicken is "calling" me...
