Tianjin snacks have a long history and unique taste, its variety, in addition to special snacks, the famous Tianjin three must-haves, I don't know if you know, are: "dog does not pay attention to buns", "eighteenth street twist flowers", "ear eye fried cake" These three musts, favored by international friends.
Let's first talk about this "dog does not pay attention to the bun", the dog ignores the bun has a history of more than 100 years. Founder Noble Friend, nicknamed "Dog", because of the delicious taste of his buns, customers are full of doors, he is both a treasurer and a buddy, he has no time to talk to people more, and the locals make fun of him: dogs sell buns and ignore them. Later, the bun became known as "dog ignore". The outstanding features of dog buns are that they are filled with oil, fragrant and delicious, and eaten but not greasy; Skin with half hair noodles, soft and chewy; The appearance is beautiful, each bun has 18 folds, dense and consistent, like a blooming white chrysanthemum.
There are many kinds of buns sold in Tianjin, in addition to the North Gate West Liu Ji beef buns, the East Road Enfade lamb buns, the Gongnan Street Stone Gate Kansu buns, and the Hou family hou dog ignores the pork buns. To this day, the far-reaching fame and the prosperity of business are the most popular among the dogs, which rank first among the three in Tianjin. "Dog Ignore" was founded in 1858. During the Xianfeng period of the Qing Dynasty, a peasant family in Wuqing County, Hebei Province, who had a son at the age of forty, named "Dog" for peace, hoping to feed like a puppy (according to northern customs, this name is full of simple love and affection). At the age of 14, Dogko came to Tianjin to learn art and worked as a young man in a steaming shop. The dog is skillful and diligent in learning, practicing a good job, not willing to send people under the fence, and set up a bun stall by himself. The bun is filled with water and half a hair noodle, the taste is soft, the flavor is not greasy, the shape is like a chrysanthemum, the color and fragrance shape are unique, attracting people from ten miles to eat the bun, the business is very prosperous, the dog is too busy to talk to the customer. In this way, people who eat buns say that "dogs sell buns and ignore people", and over time, they call him "dogs ignore".
Once, Yuan Shikai trained a new army in Tianjin, brought the dog to the imperial palace, paid tribute to Cixi, and the empress dowager Bi Dayue said: The beast in the mountains is swallowed in the clouds, the cattle and sheep in the hinterland are fresh on the seabed, and the dogs do not pay attention to the fragrant, and the longevity of food is also long. Since then, the dog's reputation has been greatly enhanced. Since 1980, it has successively operated with more than 20 regions in China, such as Beijing, Hangzhou, Guilin, Harbin, Shijiazhuang, Botou, Baotou, Cangzhou, Xingtai and Beidaihe, and opened branches. In Tokyo, Japan, a dog bun semicolon was also opened, and its reputation has spread to the world.
Ear Eye Fried Cake is a traditional snack in Tianjin, named after the fact that the fried cake shop is located in a hutong called "Ear Eye". With a history of more than 100 years, it is known for its unbroken, golden color, sweet and crispy, and has been rated as the "best food" many times in the Tianjin traditional flavor snack competition.
The three words "ear eye" of ear eye fried cake are the same as the three words of "dog ignore" of the dog ignoring the bun, which is not the real name of the store. Ear Eye Fried Cake got its name because the shop selling this fried cake is located at the mouth of a narrow alley, which is exactly called Ear Eye Alley. The founder of Ear Eye Fried Cake is a Muslim named Liu Wanchun, who also comes from a poor family. Liu Wanchun scraped together some money during the Guangxu years of the late Qing Dynasty to buy a small stone mill, a pot and a small cart. He worked with his wife and children, some grinding noodles, some making noodles, some making stuffing, and then pushing a cart to the streets outside the Yiyi Street and the South Gate, and now fried and sold. Liu Wanchun hung a small wooden sign on the trolley, and the four words "Huimin Liu Ji" were written on the sign, which was the mark of his earliest sale of fried cakes. At that time, he could sell 20 or 30 kilograms of fried cakes every day, which supported the family's livelihood.
"Eighteenth Street Twist" was founded in the 1920s on "Eighteenth Street" near the South Building in Hexi District, Tianjin, also known as Gui Fa Xiang Twist. In 1956, he became famous at the Tianjin Food Exhibition; After the National Food Exhibition held in Zhengzhou in 1959, it was broadcast nationwide; After participating in the Canton Fair in the 1970s, his reputation was greatly enhanced. This is a kind of stuffed twist flower, brownish yellow in color, twisted into 3 flowers by 10 thin strips, beautiful appearance, crisp and refreshing. Small each 2 two, large to 2 pounds each.
At that time, there were many stalls selling fried twist flowers in Tianjin, and the quality of the levels was different. In order to compete with others, the founder is ingenious and elaborate, in addition to changing the noodles of the fried twist to half-hair noodles, he also sandwiches a puff pastry containing osmanthus flowers, sugar, peach kernels, green and red silk, rock sugar and other small ingredients in the middle of the twist white strips. After such a design, the fried twist flowers are crisp and sweet, delicious and delicious. And the dry place can still maintain the crispy taste after many days.
On the other hand, Gui Faxiang's fried twist flowers are large in size, can fry out several pounds of hemp flowers, and are as crisp inside and out, which is difficult for ordinary people to do. These cannabis flowers are not only gourmet and delicious, but also wonderful works of art. According to his personal experience for many years of practical experience, Fan Guilin pays attention to the accuracy of feeding ratios. According to the change of temperature, and the surface time appropriately increase the dose of weight loss, it is advisable to fry through with a warm fire. The fried golden crispy hemp flowers are admired by customers.
