Introduction:
The customs and customs of each place have their own characteristics, and this is especially true of the "white affairs" in the countryside. The lively "white affairs" banquet is an important part of rural people's celebration of happy events.
However, some people say that there are three dishes that cannot be served on this occasion, which makes people curious and puzzled. So what exactly are these three dishes?
Stir-fried meat with chili
Stir-fried meat with chili is a common delicacy on the table of rural people, it is sour and spicy, and it is mouth-watering. However, on the "white affairs" in the countryside, some people say that this dish cannot be served. Why is that?
On the "white affairs", there are often many elderly people and children who participate in it, and their tastes are relatively light and cannot accept too spicy food. The spiciness of fried meat with chili peppers often leads to verbal battles, with some people liking to eat spicy, while others do not like or cannot eat spicy.
The spicy taste of fried meat with chili peppers may also irritate their appetite, leading to discomfort and even indigestion. So in order to avoid controversy and unpleasantness on this festive occasion, some people think that it is better not to serve fried meat with chili.
Another reason is that in some parts of the countryside, chili peppers are considered "positive" foods, while "white things" are a funeral. Therefore, some people think that the spicy taste of fried meat with chili peppers will bring a "nameless fire" to the "white thing", which is not in line with the atmosphere of the funeral.
Fish dishes
At rural feasts, fish dishes are often favored. Fish is rich in symbolism in rural customs. On the one hand, the pronunciation of fish is homonymous with "yu", which means "more than every year", symbolizing wealth and good luck.
On the other hand, fish is a nutritious food, rich in protein and a variety of vitamins, which is beneficial for good health.
The deceased has no longer left life, so the homophonic meaning of the fish is not very good, and if people who care about traditional etiquette see this dish, they may be particularly angry when they see this dish, because it is simply a mockery of the deceased's family and disrespect for the deceased. Therefore, such delicacy should not appear at the time of funeral.
Dog meat
In many rural families, the owner will keep a dog for the purpose of companionship or doorkeeping, the dog is equivalent to a member of the family, and may be one of the closest companions of the deceased before death.
So eating dog meat at the funeral of the deceased is also disrespectful to the deceased. Even if you like to eat dog meat, you are not allowed to appear dog meat at this banquet.
So how to choose the right dishes?
In rural "white affairs", the choice of dishes often takes into account local customs and traditions. Different places have different customs, and people pay different attention to food.
Vegetarian cuisine is more in line with the atmosphere of "white affairs"
On "white things", vegetarian dishes tend to be more popular. Vegetarian dishes are light and suitable for all ages, reflecting the festive atmosphere of the celebration.
Vegetarian dishes are rich and diverse, and can provide more choices to meet the taste needs of different people.
Moreover, vegetarian cuisine also has a certain meaning, funeral vegetarian vegetarian dishes are more in line with the atmosphere at that time.
Therefore, on the "white matter", choosing vegetarian dishes as the main dish can not only reflect the local customs, but also reflect the respect for the deceased and the comfort of the deceased's family.
The unique charm of stews
Stew is also an indispensable dish. The uniqueness of the stew lies in its warm texture and rich nutrients.
Stews are usually made with meat, vegetables and spices as the main ingredients, which are slowly cooked for a long time. It not only maintains the original taste of the ingredients, but also fully releases the nutrients in the ingredients, making the dishes more delicious and delicious.
Traditional pastries
In the rural "white affairs", traditional pastries are also an indispensable part. Pastry has a unique meaning in rural customs. On the one hand, pastry often symbolizes family unity, and even though the deceased is dead, the family still wants to live together.
On the other hand, the process of making pastries requires multiple processes, which requires people's care and patience, so it also reflects people's seriousness and attention to funerals.
Dishes should be seasonal
When choosing dishes on "White Matters", you also need to pay attention to the seasonality of the dishes. Rural "white affairs" are usually closely related to agricultural activities, so choosing seasonal ingredients as dishes can better reflect the traditions and characteristics of the countryside.
For example, you can choose tender tofu, fresh vegetables, etc. in spring; In summer, you can choose cool vegetables and fruits; In autumn, you can choose crops such as corn, sweet potatoes, etc.; In winter, you can choose from warm stews and hot soups.
Epilogue:
In the rural "white affairs", the choice of dishes has its own special considerations and reasons. Although it is said that there are three dishes on the "white matter" that cannot be served, this is not an absolute rule, but an expression of customs and traditions.
When choosing dishes, we should respect local customs and people's taste needs, so that everyone can taste delicious and feel the atmosphere.
The choice of dishes is not only a food combination, but also a cultural inheritance and expression. Through reasonable menu selection, we can convey respect for the funeral so that every participant can feel the same way.
