When the southern little potatoes travel in Harbin, they often feel confused and helpless because of the large amount of dishes. Since the amount of food eaten in the south is generally smaller, ordering too much food can easily lead to waste. In order to solve this problem, some small southern potatoes put forward a request for small portions that suit the tastes of southerners. As soon as this topic came out, it immediately aroused heated discussions among netizens.
However, this requirement has also sparked controversy. A netizen believes that the cuisine in the Northeast is famous for its large portions, and there are many tourists in the Northeast, and it is precisely because of the "large dishes" that it has attracted people's attention. But Tohoku is also actively listening to consumer suggestions and is ready to launch small portions and takeaway services to meet the needs of various consumers. As soon as this sentence came out, netizens immediately fell into controversy. Netizens in the south are worried that in the future, will there be netizens in the north who will demand that the skewers in the south become bigger? In fact, not only netizens in the north, but also netizens in the south hope that the skewers can be bigger. Some people even suggested making the skewers the size of a fist, because everyone wanted to "walk around without eating".
Some bloggers said that as long as they finish eating, they don't have to order too much. Because if the amount of food drops, it will be difficult to rise again, so what should those Northeast people who have lived in Northeast China for many years do? In addition, the portion size of the dish can be smaller, but it cannot be reduced. Northeast cuisine has become popular because of its large quantity and affordability, and the cost of making a dish is almost the same as that of a half-plate. A dish is already a small profit, and if the profit is reduced again, then it will be difficult to continue. This netizen gave an example, if the original two dishes can be full for four people and charge 100 yuan, but now it is changed to a small dish, and the two dishes are only enough for two people to eat, even if it charges 80 yuan, the store will feel at a loss. The person who made this request seems to want to eat four dishes with 100 yuan **, but in this way, the boss will lose money and operate.
In the face of this controversy, netizens have expressed their opinions. A Shanghai netizen said that if you like small dishes, it is better to go directly to Shanghai, because Shanghainese people love exquisiteness, so Shanghai's dim sum and dishes are small and exquisite. Another netizen suggested that the amount of food in the south should be increased, so that both northerners and southerners can be fed. She believes that the purpose of tourism is to experience the customs and customs, and if the customs and habits of the Northeast have completely become the habits of the North, then what is the different experience? It would be nice to travel directly on your doorstep. Some people also suggested that netizens in the south order two dishes in the northeast, so that they can eat to their heart's content. Southerners also advise against random suggestions.
In order to better understand the unreasonable demands of the small potatoes in the south, we have to mention the differences in food culture between the south and the north. The cuisine of the southern region focuses on finesse and refinement, and pursues the diversity of tastes and dishes. Southerners eat a light diet with a refined taste and culinary skills, characterized by delicate condiments and abundant ingredients. The cuisine of the northern region, on the other hand, is marked by large portions and rich flavors, and pursues a sense of satiety and satisfaction.
Since the amount of food in the south is relatively small, they cannot adapt to the large dishes in the north, so when traveling, they hope to be able to order small dishes that suit their taste and amount of food, and avoid the embarrassing situation of waste and inability to eat. However, this request has sparked dissatisfaction and controversy among some northern netizens. They believe that the cuisine of the Northeast is known for its large portions, which is a traditional custom of the Northeast and one of the characteristics that attracts tourists. In addition, when northerners travel to the south, they will also face the food problems encountered by the southern potatoes in the northeast, but they do not ask to change the food culture of the south, but choose to adapt and try the local cuisine.
The discussion sparked by the unreasonable demands of the southern potatoes is actually a matter of respect and understanding for the customs and habits of different regions. In the process of traveling, we should respect and appreciate the local food culture and customs, and experience the unique flavors of the local area. Tourism is not only to enjoy the scenery, but also to feel the local customs and cultural characteristics. As tourists, we should respect and adapt to the eating habits of the destination, rather than asking for a change in their traditions.
At the same time, businesses should also provide different kinds of dishes and meal options according to the needs of consumers to cater for people with different eating habits. For the requirements of the small potatoes in the south, merchants can consider launching small portions of dishes that suit the tastes and meals of southerners, and provide packaged services to reduce food waste.
In this topic, we should find a balance between satisfying the food needs of the small potatoes in the south and respecting the culinary traditions and customs of the Northeast. It is recommended that southern tourists can try to order a small number of multiple dishes when ordering food in order to better taste the local cuisine without wasting food resources.
All in all, the differences between the food culture of the South and the North are inevitable, and we should respect and appreciate the food characteristics of different regions. When traveling, it is important to respect local customs and traditions, but also to keep an open mind, try different cuisines, and find a balance that suits you.
