In this era of rapid development of information networks, people prefer to quickly familiarize themselves with unfamiliar things through tags and IP.
For example, Hunan people can take chili peppers by mouth, such as Guangdong people eat morning tea every day, such as children in Yunguichuan who go to school to ride horses, and for example, Tianjin people can come to a cross-talk allegro on the spot
Tianjin West Lake Road
But this also at least shows one point - in most people's minds, Tianjin is grounded!
From the brush Li, clay man Zhang, slingshot Yang in the book, to Shi Shengjie, Ma Sanli, and Guo Degang, who are still active in front of the screen, which one is not amiable?
In terms of diet, Tianjin's pancake fruits and pot dishes are also famous for their delicious and cheap, and even Tianjin people speak, which is also quite grounded
A sentence of "you say it", in the mouth of the southern girl is a spoiled "you say ~";
From the mouth of the Tianjin girl, it became - "Mud scolding? Soft Sister immediately transformed into a female man
。
"Don't be" petite and cute want to refuse to return the welcome, simple three words make people think of wrong;
To Tianjin dialect - don't mind. It seems that one step closer, the girl can kick you to the eighteen-mile shop!
Even the taxi master in Tianjin, it is also inseparable from the cross-talk paragraph, as soon as you get on the car, you can hear the familiar "bamboo board so a dozen ..."
But it is also this city that is permeated with the word simple and simple, but it opened China's first real Western restaurant.
Tianjin's first Western restaurant - Cheeselin
Unexpectedly, people have been eating Western food since the generation of our great-grandfather!
If pancakes and fruits and pot dishes are the daily life of Tianjin people, then Western food is the noodles of Tianjin people!
But this Western food is not ordinary Western food, but an old Western food rich in Tianjin characteristics, feelings and memories
A unique Western food culture in Tianjin
As the gateway to the imperial capital of the Five Dynasties, Tianjin's original eating habits were relatively traditional.
However, this situation underwent a huge change after the Qing Dynasty.
In 1860, the British first established a concession outside the old city of Tianjin, and the following year, the French Concession was also born in the immediate vicinity.
Until it was taken back by the Nationalist government after the end of World War II in 1945, the two countries opened a concession in Tianjin for more than 80 years, which was the longest of the two areas of the great powers.
Exotic buildings everywhere
Naturally, Tianjin's Western cuisine is most profoundly influenced by Britain and France.
In the past, in this "Tianjin Wei" that defended the capital, the civilian diet has always dominated, and pancake fruits, stews, gaba dishes, fried cakes, twist flowers, and buns have led the taste of the city.

The long absence of exquisite cuisine has paved the way for the popularity of Western-style meals.
To some extent, Tianjin Western food is different from Guangzhou Western food transformed by Cantonese cuisine and Shanghai Western food transformed by Huaiyang cuisine, it is the most original European flavor that can be eaten in China in that era.
The classic cold dish of Tianjin Western food - cold sour fish
Many celebrities, including Puyi and Yuan Shikai, are regular customers of Tianjin Western Restaurants.
In 1895, Germany set up a concession in Tianjin, followed by Russia, Austria, the United States, Italy and other countries, making The outside of Tianjin a real Expo Park for All Nations.
Restaurants with international flavors have sprung up in Tianjin after entering the 20th century.
Among them, the German and Russian diets, with heavier seasoning, coincide with the salty tastes of the old Tianjin guards, so they gradually replaced the British and French diets and became the mainstream of Tianjin Western food.
Coincidentally, at the same time as the rapid development of the Tianjin Concession, a large number of Shandong people poured into the three eastern provinces through Beijing and Tianjin, but many of them also settled in Tianjin.
The Lu cuisine tradition and cooking techniques they brought, combined with German and Russian meals, became a unique Western food culture in Tianjin.
The most noteworthy is the signature must-order of Tianjin Western Restaurant - canned braised beef.
Canned stewed beef
The main body of the dish is Russian-style goulash, and in reference to the French tradition, a layer of butter puff pastry is sealed on the jar.
The most interesting thing is that some stores will also replace the butter puff pastry with a Shandong-style "flapjack" according to local characteristics - use the back of the spoon to knock it open hard to eat
Don't look at this clay pot is small, but there is a lot of meat hidden in it!
The beef is stewed very well in sweet and sour tomato juice, which looks like a large piece, but it is better than tender enough. It is soft enough, but there is no feeling of dry wood stewed for a long time.
Fresh and tender, the aftertaste is long and evocative!
German-style cold sour fish
This is a classic cold dish of veteran Jinwei Western food.
Even if it is served in a Western restaurant, it is a big lump of white flowers that resemble a salad.
But don't underestimate this unattractive appearance, its taste is definitely amazing enough! Fresh cod, wrapped in a sweet and sour appetizing secret sauce, makes it super refreshing to eat!
Fish meat tender, tight and thornless, moderate sour aroma, although it is a combination of sour cream + fish meat, but it is not fishy or greasy to eat, but also particularly appetizing!
Friends who are used to eating fried fish steaks may wish to try this unique German-style cold sour fish
Creamy toast
Cream roast mix is also a classic reserved track.
You can smell the rich milk aroma as soon as you serve it, and each serving is grilled to order.
The filling inside is very rich, and the taste is particularly rich!
Bacon, ham, chicken... It's all wrapped in creamy cream, but it's not greasy at all
In addition, there are also dots of dense mashed potatoes, a bite down, cheese milk, ham slightly salty, potato puree rustling, soft, after eating lips and teeth to leave a fragrance, especially satisfied!
Locals come to line up for the classic old taste
After talking about the noodles of Tianjin people, it is natural to taste the daily life of others.
Classic to no longer be classic pancake fruit and gaba dish we will not say more, their "past life and this life" has long been turned over by everyone "bottom to the sky"
So this time we deliberately inquired about a food street that is known as the favorite of old Tianjin people, and prepared to inquire about what locals usually eat.
Xihu Road in Nankai District, located in an old community in the center, is surrounded by "aborigines" and is only six or seven kilometers away from all major attractions in the city.
Unlike the Five Avenues tourist attraction, which is full of literary and artistic atmosphere, there is a leisurely and lazy atmosphere of life everywhere. More than 90% of the people living around this road are local indigenous.
Casually walk to the door of a small shop, do not queue for ten minutes, do not want to see what is sold inside!
But don't look at the queue and think that it is another hyped internet celebrity punch card street, as long as you approach the team, it is not difficult to hear that almost all the old residents queuing here are nearby
We were lucky because as soon as we arrived at West Lake Road, it rained so badly that the residents in line scattered.
When the rain stopped, when there were not many people, we quickly bought a few things, sat on the side and watched the slowly returning queue army eating
Rong Zhen Zhai coiled circle
Although this is the last thing to eat on the day, Xiaobian must put it in the first place, because it is really delicious!
The crust is super crispy!
Bean sprouts, coriander, shredded carrots, curd milk, etc. are mixed into a filling, wrapped in dough and fried in the pan, and eaten fresh.
The texture of the roll is crisp, the fragrance of the bean sprouts is very neutralized by the greasy feeling, making the whole coil more crisp and delicious, blending the mellow taste of curd, and has a different flavor~
In addition to vegetarian circles, their family also has various "meat rings".
We bought a duck silk ring, which was pre-made into a "Kyo sauce" flavor, rolled up with egg cake brushed with sweet noodle sauce, and dipped in a layer full of breadcrumbs.
The shredded meat is a semi-finished product, fry in oil for two or three minutes, and then fry the breadcrumbs into a golden crispy crust
Because it is fried to order, it is particularly crispy to eat!
The soft and tender shredded meat and sweet noodle sauce are paired together, and the entrance is crisp, fragrant, salty and sweet, and although it is very hot, I still can't help but take one bite after another
Hongzeyuan roast chicken
If you go to an old Tianjin person's house for dinner, they bring out the Hongze Garden roast chicken, don't doubt, this is the "highest standard" of their hospitality!
After all, buying a roast chicken from Hongze Garden is never an easy task.
Every day at three o'clock in the afternoon is the time when Hongze Garden opens, and the queue is usually already at the door at 2:30.
Hongzeyuan's roast chicken is very soft and sticky, does not need any tableware, across the plastic bag to tear, the chicken will be separated in a huff, so it is very popular with the elderly ~
The roast chicken in the shop is made of more than a dozen spices, boiled until the bone meat is crisp and the shape is not scattered, and then smoked with white sugar. The color is bright red and seductive, and the chewiness that chicken should have is not diminished at all.
Because the stomach capacity is limited, we bought a "pistol leg" to taste it
One bite can only sigh: this brine is too powerful!
Saucey old soup almost seeped into every trace of chicken, the smoky taste is also very full, eat and fragrant and flavorful, chicken is neither chai nor stuffed teeth, after eating Xiaobian directly patted the thigh, really should buy a whole one!
PS: I heard that the membership card can be exempted from the queue, and the small partners who love to eat rush it!
Du called strange fire
Founded in 1922, Jinmen's time-honored brand, Du Zhiqi, is the existence that even the famous Dan Mei Lanfang remembers!
Fire is everywhere, but Du said that when making fire, there is a trick, that is, use green onions and fennel to refine the oil first, and then combine the puff pastry.
The finished product is pure and fragrant, the outer layer is burnt and crispy, the inner layer is soft and tender, the filling is delicate, and the taste is mellow.
We bought red fruit filling and five kernel filling.
The white skin is a red fruit filling, the puff pastry is layered, take a bite, and the sweet and sour hawthorn mud will immediately gush out
Eat it with a crispy crust, and you don't feel sweet, but it neutralizes the texture very well, and it is highly recommended
The surface of the five-kernel filling is covered with a layer of black sesame seeds, which is very crispy.
The bread is sugar, peanut flour, peanut kernels, etc., and it tastes with a strong peanut aroma, and the aftertaste has a hint of sweetness
Little girl meat dragon
As a southern child, when I first saw this name, I was really curious, what is the meat dragon!
Wait for the editor to buy the hand and smell it before reacting, this is not an oversized meat bun ~
The hot air wrapped in wheat and meat went straight into the nose, and the meat filling and dough inside were laid layer by layer, and the meat filling in the middle was really "overwhelmed", cracking a large slit, exposing the filling in the stomach.
If it has to be classified as a meat bun, it can only be called an "open meat bun"
~
The dough is strong, fluffy and chewy; the meat filling is very solid, tender and juicy to eat, and the saltiness is just right.
The meat filling is layered, and the ingredients are very willing to go~
Meat dragon is easier than buns, more hungry than bread, and more flavorful than cakes! No wonder locals like to buy it back as a staple food
Taste of black beans
After eating and drinking, we brought a box of boiled black beans to grind our teeth.
Boiled black beans, also known as five-spiced broad beans, is both the Luohan beans that the friends ate when they returned from watching the play in the novel "Social Drama", and the fennel beans that were drunk in the store in the novel "Kong Yiji".
Don't look at the appearance of black beans is very ordinary, there are many people queuing up to buy it!
It can be eaten with skin, or peeled to eat, each bean is cooked until the skin is burst, peeled into the mouth, spongy, sticky, under the fine taste there is really a little taste ~ ~
After a whole day of shopping in Tianjin City, Puyi's favorite Western food, Mei Lanfang's burning, and Mr. Lu Xun's unforgettable black beans all fell into our stomachs, thinking that there was really an illusion of traveling through time and space.
But this is also the charm of Tianjin cuisine. There is no noisy mountain treasure sea flavor, there is no so-called Internet celebrity punch card, the continuation of taste and the beginning and end of the combination all depend on the craftsmanship and sincerity of the store.
