I'm not from Yunnan, because I married a Yunnan daughter-in-law, so I lived in Kunming for a long time, and I think I can talk about the specialties of Yunnan, because I love to eat local cuisine.
Yunnan Province is a good place to get its name from the "Colorful Yunnan Present". In addition to the Han chinese, there are twenty-five ethnic minorities with a population of more than 4,000 people, accounting for a total of one-third of the 48 million people in Yunnan Province. In other words, in every three Yunnan people, there is one ethnic minority. Bai, Yi, Naxi and Dai have the largest numbers. In the past, because of the barrier of high mountains and rivers in Yunnan, people in different regions rarely had the opportunity to contact each other, and over time they formed their own unique cultures. Therefore, their religion, clothing, food, art, and festival styles are very different and colorful, which makes tourists dazzled.
Because each ethnic minority has its own preferred dietary taste, the food dishes in Yunnan are full of flavors and colorful. The Yunnan folk song "Little Obedient" playfully points out two kinds of local snacks - rice noodles and rice dumplings: "Little obedience comes to small obedience, say a riddle you can guess, what long street is sold in front of ah, what long sister comes forward?" Little obedient to little obedient, this riddle I guess, rice noodles long long street front sell ah, braids long sister came to yo. Little obedient to small obedience, I will come to you to guess, what round street before selling ah, what round round sister came forward? Little obedient to little obedient, you said to me to guess, the round street in front of the sale of ah, mirror round sister came to yo. "As long as you add another bait, you can summarize the essence of Yunnan-style snacks."

Among them, rice noodles taste like rice noodles and are Han food. Bait blocks, like Ningbo rice cakes, are the invention of the Sani people. Rice dumpling is a big cake, which scholars have examined as a turn of the sound of "饽饽". It is made of flour and lard and is sweet and salty, and has different tastes for all ethnic groups. For example, the Bai people have Xizhou rice dumplings, and the Naxi people have Lijiang rice dumplings; the former is wrapped in green onions or bean paste, and the latter is wrapped in ham or sugar. Kunming Guandu Ancient Town, there is also a kind of Guandu Cang. Wrapped in susten, bean paste, sesame seeds, etc.

This secluded southwestern land is definitely an adventure playground for gourmets. Its variety of ingredients and unspecific cooking methods are testing the cultivation and skills of gourmets at any time.
As the saying goes, "Hunan people are not afraid of spicy, Sichuan people are not afraid of spicy, and Yunnan people are not afraid of spicy."
In the three provinces of Hunan, Sichuan and Yunnan, it is the most spicy province in China.
There is a reason for this: Yunnan is rich in chili peppers, complete types, such as bell peppers, longhorn peppers, millet peppers, etc., and even in recent years, there have been devil peppers with a spiciness of 1 million. The spiciness of a millet pepper is 100,000, and you can imagine how spicy it is. I bought half a catty last year, ate one with milk, and my spicy mouth was red all day, similar to Liang Chaowei in "East becomes West". At night, I went to the toilet several times, and it hurt to wipe my ass. Therefore, here is a advice to friends, can not eat spicy, do not easily try the devil pepper in Yunnan.
Devil pepper originated in India, and yunnan has also begun to grow in recent years
Therefore, the Han people here love to use chili seasoning, the taste is sour and spicy, and the cooking techniques similar to Sichuan cuisine are also exquisite and special, not inferior to the Cantonese cuisine of "eating in Guangzhou", which represents the color of the dish is sour and spicy duck tongue, sour and spicy hoof tendons, and large flakes.

Cross-bridge rice noodles, steam pot chicken, Yiliang roast duck, etc. are not spicy. Therefore, people like me who do not like to eat spicy can also live a very delicious life in Yunnan.
