Chinese New Year's Eve is approaching, every family is buying ingredients to prepare for the Chinese New Year's Eve meal, after all, Chinese New Year's EveChinese New Year's Eve meal is also the most important dinner of the year, the family can forget the usual troubles, and welcome the arrival of the new year in joy.
It is precisely because of the importance of the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, so the meals are extremely particular and not sloppy, generally based on good meanings, and some dishes even if they usually love to eat, try not to serve them on Chinese New Year's Eve, otherwise it is easy to make "jokes".
fish
Fish meat has always been symbolized as an auspicious dish in daily life, because everyone knows that "there is more than enough every year", so whether it is a New Year's festival or a red and white celebration, fish must be a must-have dish.
Even in the list of home-cooked dishes, there are many ways to make fish, such as steamed fish, braised fish, barbecue, fish soup, etc., and even different regions can practice different flavors due to different eating habits.
But in fact, no matter how much you like to eat fish, on some important occasions, the way to eat fish is still very particular, because fish in formal occasions, there is a saying that "there is a head and a tail", of course, the whole fish is naturally no problem to cook.
And Chinese New Year's EveChinese New Year's Eve rice not only represents the coming of the year, but also the beginning of a new year, because of this, the status of Chinese New Year's Eve rice is also very important, we should avoid the "no head and no tail" situation, such as chopped pepper fish, boiled pork slices, etc., are a little unlucky.
After all, it is a saying that "there is more than every year", and if it appears correctly, it is also a kind of good blessing, but if it appears in a later form, then the so-called blessing has also become the meaning of "no beginning and no tail".
In addition, some salted dried fish, or dried preserved fish and other meats, whether we are on Chinese New Year's Eve or at the usual family banquet, it is best not to appear on the dinner table, because this kind of fish is usually smoked and processed many times.
First of all, the smell is indeed fragrant, but the taste is indeed very hard, and we will inevitably have old people and children at the dinner table, so this aspect of the dish may also be extremely difficult for them to chew.
In addition, salted fish has a very high salt content in taste, which is very unfriendly to the elderly, and even many young people often joke: "I am just a rotten salted fish!" So on such an important occasion, it is better to avoid such a dilemma.
lotus root
Lotus root, I believe that it is the most common vegetable in our daily life, because it has a role that should not be underestimated in terms of nutritional value, first of all, it can clear heat and invigorate blood, after all, it has cold properties, and all of them also have the effect of stopping bleeding and replenishing blood.
Because it is rich in rare vitamin K, lotus root is a special existence for pregnant women and some people with blood in the urine, so it is also a very common vegetable in life.
Whether it is summer or winter, it can be said that it is the most common vegetable all year round.
Speaking of which, I believe that most families will buy some lotus root to entertain relatives and friends at some activities such as the New Year and the New Year, because it is refreshing and delicious when mixed cold, so that people can relieve a certain amount of oiliness during the diet of big fish and meat.
Even in hot dishes, people often stew it with some pork ribs in winter, and the taste contrasts with the refreshing feeling of the usual cold salad, which is also invisibly a unique flavor, but no matter what the occasion, it is still the highest occurrence rate of cold salad.
But on Chinese New Year's Eve, few families will make lotus root into a dish and serve it to the dinner table, because the shape of the lotus root itself is "full of holes", dense holes, many people will mean this phenomenon as "leaking money".
Because the purpose of the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner is to be happy, eat and drink to welcome the New Year, and it is somewhat inappropriate to leak money at the beginning of the year, plus eating at night, lotus root is also cold and satiety, and it will bring some inconvenience to people with gastrointestinal discomfort after eating.
Fire somebody
For squid, no one should be able to resist the temptation of seafood, but it is precisely because seafood is usually more expensive, even during the Chinese New Year, it is extremely expensive, but there are still many people who like to eat seafood, and will buy some to eat during the New Year's holidays.
Among them, squid is one of the most common types of seafood, because it is also very colorful, whether it is grilled or fried, or stir-fried and hot, etc., there are different food taste experiences.
However, no matter what kind of cooking method it is, most people still prefer to eat stir-fried squid, because it can put some green onions, ginger and garlic into it, so as to play a role in improving freshness, and even the process of eating is a kind of enjoyment.
But in fact, for many workers or office workers, they still don't want to see the dish of fried squid at the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, because in this case, because fried squid is often used as the meaning of "fire" in the workplace, that is: "You were fired!"
Generally in the south and Hong Kong and other regions, the phrase "squid" is often used at work, so on Chinese New Year's Eve, many office workers are extremely shy about this fragrant dish, even if they usually love to eat, but in the good wishes of the New Year, there are some taboos.
After all, in the new year, young people who go to work will pray that they can work smoothly and rise to prominence in the new year, and everything is blessed in a good direction, and the dish of "fried squid" is somewhat unlucky in meaning.
In addition, because squid is also cold, if you eat more at night, it will cause physical discomfort to some groups with a bad spleen and stomach, plus it is still winter, eating more cold food will cause diarrhea and other symptoms, and people with poor physique will have to go to the hospital...
Fox meat
Dog meat is a very delicious dish for many people, such as dog meat and rabbit meat, etc., the meat of these poultry is more delicious than the usual pigs, cattle and sheep for many people, but it is extremely rare in the market.
Because in the past, there were many dog dealers who specialized in reselling dogs, and they often went to catch some free-range dogs, and some lost dogs, or through some stealing and abduction, to steal some dogs they targeted.
In any case, as long as the dogs are collected in the end, they will resell some of the valuable breeds of dogs inside, and then sell some of the low-grade local dogs to the dog meat restaurant, not only in exchange for a certain profit, but also in the end the dog will be killed into a dish.
But in fact, this method has always been not recognized by the state, because it is not only a crime, but also a form of disrupting the market, resulting in many people will lose a lot of benefits, after all, many breeds of dogs are also a kind of wealth for owners.
In addition, dogs are loyal companions to people, and it is thought that dogs and humans have a history of thousands of years, and earlier in ancient times, people often used some special types of dogs as beast gods in hunting grounds, that is, "watchdogs".
Nowadays, many people will choose to raise some breeds of dogs or puppies, etc., as friends in daily life, and treat them as part of the family, because dogs are also very spiritual animals.
Therefore, in normal times, many people are reluctant to eat dog meat, because everyone has already regarded them as our family, and the dog itself has the ability to take care of the house, and even some dogs take great care of humans in their daily life.
Naturally, everyone regards dogs as man's most loyal friends, so on occasions like Chinese New Year's Eve, everyone naturally does not choose to eat dog meat, otherwise it will be regarded as a betrayal...
White tofu
White tofu is one of the most common protein ingredients for people, not to mention that it looks white and even extremely fragile, but in fact, its role should not be underestimated, because it is rich in trace elements.
Fresh and tender white tofu because of its rich high-quality quality, so it enjoys the reputation of "plant-based meat", it can be said that its appearance is enough to resist people's love for other proteins, even in the early poverty period, who can eat white tofu is very enviable.
Because it has a very high digestibility, it is extremely convenient for everyone to taste whenever and where, and it will not cause hidden dangers to people's diet.
However, although white tofu has the function of promoting brain development and promoting digestion, it is often listed as the first choice for home cooking in daily life, of course, patients with kidney disease and some ventilation patients are best not to eat.
But on Chinese New Year's Eve, few families will have white tofu-related dishes, because it is a white shape of food, many old people will think that this is "one poor and two white", so naturally do not want to eat tofu.
Write to the end
In fact, these delicious dishes are the most common food in our daily life, and they are one of people's favorite foods, but because of special occasions, some families still mind a little.
After all, Chinese New Year's Eve is the most important dinner of the year, and it is the first meal to welcome the new year.
