Before there was Wuhan Tiandi queuing for eight hours only for a cup of milk tea, and then there was Shenzhen Wenheyou queuing for No. 30,000 just for a cup of milk tea, a cup of milk tea worth less than 20 yuan, why can the migrant workers who have a chance to breathe run to the long queue?
Is this the charm of milk tea?
At the end of the day, this is the charm of food!
For the sake of food, it is not just a long queue, even if it is across the mountains and the sea, there are a lot of people who are willing. Flying to a city or country, just to eat the most authentic local food, not just appear in the paragraph.
But there are some people who rush to a city for food and end up shedding tears of regret at the table.
People call these kinds of cities "gastronomic deserts", perhaps they have a good cultural and natural landscape, but as soon as it comes to meals, the local meal will make people suddenly understand why the older generation of people go abroad to bring rice sauce.
Below, let's see which cities are on the "Food Desert List"!
p.s. As the saying goes, a thousand readers have a thousand Hamlets, and there must be some controversy about the topic of food, and I hope you will discuss it rationally.

Among the cities on the list, Beijing has roast duck, Hangzhou has small dumplings, Shanghai has its own dishes, and other cities also have their own "home cuisine", why have they become the "targets" of urban cuisine.
From the statistical table, it is not difficult to see that the list is some cities with relatively large economies, their flow of people and attention are higher than other small cities, and the number of people discussed can be understood, but as a "champion" of Beijing and "list eyes" of Hangzhou, how deserted must be, in order to achieve such a ride.

As the heart of the motherland, super first-tier cities, GDP contribution cities, cultural and historical cities, and countless cultural landscapes, but Beijing's cuisine is really not contentious enough, so angry that netizens ran to Weibo to open two topics, attracting nearly 800,000 people to watch the crusade.
As for how hard to eat, netizens commented:
"Let's go to McDonald's, after all, Beijing's food is the pillar of the pillar"
"It feels like somewhere else, any fly pavilion can be amazed." Any restaurant in Beijing, no matter how big or small, can you off. ”
"Beijing snacks should be one of the hardest to eat in the whole country, right?" Fried liver should be the hardest thing to eat in Beijing snacks, isn't there one? ”
"In my hometown, I bought breakfast to eat when I was a child, and after I came to Beijing to live, I began to make my own breakfast and eat it."
"Beijing snacks, a brine boiled, a fried liver, a bean juice, in no particular order, ranked first and most difficult to eat"
"I've been in Beijing for more than five years, and now the things I swallow hard to eat have not changed color, thanks to Beijing snacks and my aunt."
"One of the things that makes me sad about the takeaway in Beijing is that I feel that I can't make it so badly myself, how can they be so kind to take out!"
"The hardest tofu brain I've ever eaten in my life... Or to expand a little, early, all in Beijing. ”

When we complain that Beijing is unpalatable, what are we complaining about?
After clicking on the topic one by one, it is not difficult to find that eight out of ten people who discuss the unpalatability of Beijing are spitting on Beijing's snacks. How did Beijing's snacks drag their feet?
Once upon a time, watching Lao She, Liang Shiqiu, Lin Haiyin and other literati of the older generation introduce Beijing snacks, it is called a wonderful pen and raw flowers, straight up the stomach of the worms, such as pea yellow la, hot kidney beans, old tofu la, fried liver la, enema la, burst belly la... Just hearing these names can elicit infinite reverie.
Stir-fried liver
And Beijing snacks have basically not changed since their invention, but only the group of people who eat.
Chinese has always paid attention to tradition, and Beijing, as a political, tourism and cultural center, pays more attention to preserving traditional culture, but for the new generation raised in honeypots, the more traditional the food, the more difficult it is to eat, for example, you and your father, your father and your grandfather, the taste of eating is much worse.
Pea yellow
Bean juice
And in the past, snacks, like the most complained about bean juice, brine and fried liver, were mostly poor people who could not afford to eat anything good, and the rich people ate the leftover sewage material, racking their brains to make all kinds of tricks to dip some oil and water.

How hard is Hangzhou to eat? Probably in the 21st century, when everyone is clamoring to lose weight and going to another country for the sake of appetite, people are starving alive!
It is really sad for the hearer, and the tears for the listener.
As one of the seven famous ancient capitals of China, and known as the "paradise on earth", Hangzhou has a humanistic landscape, not to mention more, and there is always a good story behind the cuisine of Hangzhou cuisine.
Longjing shrimp
Bai Juyi's spring bamboo shoots step fish; Su Shi's Dongpo meat/stewed whipped bamboo shoots; Song Gaozong moved the capital to Lin'an, Song sister-in-law fish soup and West Lake vinegar fish; a poinsettia milk meat of the angry traitors; osmanthus fresh chestnut soup, chopped fish rounds, fish head tofu about myths and legends; West Lake lettuce soup/beef soup named after famous scenic spots, West Lake Longjing shrimp, Wulin boiled duck.
West Lake vinegar fish
Behind every Hangzhou dish is very likely to stand a famous hangzhou, why has it become today's food depression?
Song sister-in-law fish soup
Contrary to the conservative nature of Beijing snacks, Hangzhou cuisine is precisely the reform that has changed over.
To put it nicely, it is to absorb the essence of the cuisine of the north and south and set the strengths of each family; to put it worse, it is to have no characteristics and completely abandon the most essential things.
For example, this "pagoda meat", which innovates on the basis of "Dongpo meat", turns the square piece of meat into a slice of meat, and the essence of "fat but not greasy" of Dongpo meat is not in that large piece of mahjong meat?
As the gourmand Mr. Cai Lan commented, "When eaten, the meat and juice do not blend, the left and right are played, the wind is blown, and this dish is not hot at all when served, and can only be used as a cold dish." The Dongpo meat we have eaten, several large pieces of meat, all together in the pottery, the juice covers the meat, only with flower carvings to stew, forced out of the oil, sucked away with jade buckle paper, the soup inside, is clear. The entrance is incomparably sweet, the fat part is more delicious than the thin one, swallowed at once, the remaining juice is poured on the steamed white rice of another pottery, not envious of the immortals. ”
Mr. Cai Lan also shared such a small story in the book, saying that Mr. Liu Zuochu, a famous collector in Hong Kong, loved to eat Dongpo meat the most in his life, and met another painter with a good friend, Cheng Shifa, and asked him: Where can you eat the best Dongpo meat in China? Cheng Shifa replied: Tianfu Building in Hong Kong.
Dongpo meat, as a representative dish of Hangzhou cuisine, the most traditional and authentic approach is actually in Hong Kong, and it is no wonder that Hangzhou has become a gastronomic desert among the population.
This is one, and there is a second.
As we all know, "light" is the characteristic of Hangzhou cuisine, and now most people's eating habits are biased towards the heavy taste of Sichuan cuisine, and the taste is mainly salty, there are few too many spices, and hangzhou cuisine that basically does not put peppers is naturally difficult to win the hearts of young people.
What else can I eat in Beijing and Hangzhou?
There are many, but most of them are not very beautiful.
Hangzhou Jinsha Hall per capita 784
A city that flaunts food, the cuisine of a few hundred yuan per capita is too high and low, and the affordable food that meets the taste of the public can arouse the worm in the belly of tourists and young people, after all, in the hearts of our ordinary workers, the real food is the human fireworks at the end of the streets and alleys after returning home late at night.
