Southerners eating frozen pears and peeling have aroused heated discussions among netizens in Northeast China, and the differences between the food culture of the north and the south have attracted attention again
In the vast land of the mainland, there have been many cultural differences between the south and the north since ancient times. These differences are particularly evident when it comes to food culture. Recently, a news of southerners eating frozen pears and peeling them has aroused heated discussions among netizens in Northeast China, once again bringing the difference between the food culture of the north and the south to people's eyes.
Frozen pears are one of the most representative fruits of winter in the Tohoku region. It is loved by the people of Northeast China for its unique taste and rich nutrition. However, for southerners, frozen pears are a strange existence. Recently, a southern netizen shared his experience of eating frozen pears for the first time on social platforms, which aroused onlookers and heated discussions among netizens in Northeast China.
The southern netizen showed how to eat frozen pears in the video. I saw him carefully pick up the frozen pear, use a knife to peel off the ice on the surface, and then carefully peel off the pear. This move surprised many Northeast netizens, and they left messages saying: "We Northeast people all eat directly, you eat pears like this, you look stupid at me!"
For southerners, peeling is the basic operation of eating fruit. They believe that peeled fruit is more hygienic and tastes better. However, in the Tohoku region, people eat frozen pears in a very different way. They believe that the cool taste of frozen pears and the unique flavor of pear peel are one of its major characteristics. Eating it directly, you can not only taste the original taste of frozen pears, but also experience the feeling of coldness, which makes people have an endless aftertaste.
The difference between the food culture of the North and the South is not only reflected in the food itself, but also in people's attitudes towards food. Southerners are particular about finesse and delicacy, and the same is true for food. They pursue the original taste of food, focusing on taste and nutrition. Therefore, southerners are Xi to peel fruits when eating them, believing that this is more hygienic and healthy.
In contrast, northerners are more bold and atmospheric. They are particular about affordability in their food and focus on satiety. For Northeast people, eating frozen pears is not only for tasting deliciousness, but also for an attitude towards life. They like to nibble on frozen pears directly, enjoying the cold, refreshing feeling, as if to dispel the bitter cold of winter.
Of course, this difference in food culture between the North and the South does not mean who is right and who is wrong. As the southern netizen said: "Although the way I eat frozen pears makes Northeast netizens look stupid, I think it's good to eat pears like this, at least hygienic!" This is also the charm of mainland food culture: each with its own characteristics and inclusiveness.
With the continuous development of the mainland economy, the exchanges between the north and the south are becoming more and more frequent, and the food culture of the north and the south is also constantly colliding and integrating. We have reason to believe that in the coming days, the food culture of the north and the south will be presented in a more diverse form in front of people's eyes, let us wait and see.
