What do Manchu people not eat?

Manchu cuisine is mainly meat. Manchu people avoid killing dogs, eating dog meat, using dog skin and not wearing a dog skin hat. Because Manchu people have been engaged in fierce hunting for a long time, dogs are indispensable "assistants" and sledding with dogs has become an important tool in winter, so they should not eat dog meat.

Manchu people don't eat the meat of crows, but cherish crows, not coax them. In Manchu inhabited areas, there is a tall wooden pole at home, which is fed to crows and magpies with pork, pig water and rice.

There are many cooking methods of dishes, mainly including boiling, stewing, boiling, roasting and frying. Manchu people in the eastern region like to eat pork vermicelli stew cauldron, white meat and blood sausage, hot pot, pig skin jelly, all kinds of game, stewed sauerkraut, lettuce (shallots, cucumbers, cabbage hearts, radishes, etc. ) dipping sauce, etc.

Manchu people in the western regions like to eat braised dishes, bean sprouts, mutton and eggplant, assorted cold dishes, bean jelly, stewed mutton with potatoes, fried noodles with mutton and sauerkraut, instant-boiled mutton and all kinds of stir-fried dishes. I like to eat Shao Shao, soybean milk, mutton offal and so on for breakfast.

Extended data:

Hot pot is the most typical Manchu diet. This diet is closely related to the hunting lifestyle of Manchu people in those days. Therefore, whether it is the original Manchu hot pot or the modern hot pot that can be seen everywhere in China today, people will think of crackling forest bonfires and creaking small hanging pots. It can be said that Manchu hot pot is the ancestor of hot pot that is popular all over the country now. In addition to chrysanthemum hotpot, there are also famous assorted hotpot and three fresh hotpot.

White meat and blood sausage is a main course for Manchu people to entertain relatives and friends. Pork belly, cut into thin slices, put it in the pot with finely cut sauerkraut at the same time, then put it in the pot, boil it and cut it into small pieces. This dish is fragrant but not greasy and has high nutritional value. The restaurant in Shenyang now is full of white meat and blood sausage, and its flavor is unparalleled.
