What is the origin and development of pancake fruit?

First, the historical origin of pancake fruit

I believe many people will subconsciously think of Shandong when they mention pancake fruit. In fact, according to records, Shandong is indeed the origin of pancakes. It is said that during the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Liang was invited out of the mountain by Liu Bei and later helped him to fight in the world. In a battle with Cao Jun, Zhuge Liang and the army were trapped, and even the cooking utensils were lost in the drift from place to place. The soldiers were hungry and fell down one by one. The generals who had no choice but to consult Zhuge Liang. Hearing this, Zhuge Liang asked the soldiers to spread pancakes on the gong, and then this method was handed down. Nowadays, pancakes are still the staple food in Shandong, so it seems not surprising that mentioning the famous Shandong pancakes will make people subconsciously eat pancakes.

In fact, pancakes originated in Shandong, but pancake fruit is produced in Tianjin.

It is said that the Ming Dynasty attached great importance to economic development, and even the actions of businessmen became active, so businessmen from Shandong took pancakes to Tianjin. In Tianjin, fried dough sticks are also called chicken gizzards. At that time, people began to eat big pancakes to wrap other ingredients. Because the soft waxy pancakes and crispy chicken gizzards are better together, this way of eating was later named pancake chicken gizzards, which is pancake fruit, and the name is smoother and better.

Therefore, when the world is curious and confused about the true origin of pancake fruit, even when it is traced back to its authenticity, it is not clear whether pancake and pancake fruit are two kinds of food. I don't know whether it is Shandong pancake fruit or Tianjin pancake fruit, but in fact, pancake fruit belongs to Tianjin from beginning to end. Shandong pancake was only inspired by the fruit of Tianjin pancake, and then it gradually upgraded and changed, and later it made everyone confused. Shandong pancake fruit? .

Second, pancake fruit? Authentic? And development

Knowing that the authentic pancake fruit is in Tianjin, do you think you can eat the most authentic pancake fruit when you go to Tianjin? Wrong. Although pancake skins made of soybeans are common in the market now, some merchants even consider the curiosity of consumers and introduce beautiful and delicious colorful pancake skins, which can cover everything consumers want to eat, but in fact, the most authentic Tianjin pancake fruit is not so flashy.

Gourmets who really know how to eat will go out when they wake up in Tianjin in the morning. At that time, it was just dawn. The birdsong is the sound of brittle jade colliding. The ancient blue Shi Zhuan Road is still covered with dewdrops in the morning, humming a ditty, and the gourmets who are walking around gather at the corner of the old alley one after another, chatting from time to time and chatting about the good things they have eaten in the good places they found. Soon,

The old man who pushed the stall shouted a few jokes at the familiar guests and quickly set up a stall. The faint mung bean-scented noodles are all hand-ground several times with a stone mill. After molding in the pot, the fragrance of mung beans is more intense. After careful tasting, he can even eat tiny mung bean particles. What's in the crust is simple, too. The hot eggs stuck to the crust and baked a greasy grate.

Third, the value of pancake fruit

Pancake fruit is a local specialty snack in Tianjin, bearing the crystallization of China's thousands of years of historical and cultural heritage. Don't you see that its charm is too great for foreigners to resist? Unexpectedly, the pancake fruit that strengthens the hub of China and the West is not only delicious, but also its nutritional value is the crystallization of our ancestors' wisdom.

In the eyes of many traditional elders, roadside stalls are not clean.

In fact, the dough for pancake fruit is made of various coarse grains with high protein and nutrition, such as mung beans, soybeans and black beans. As dietary fiber, coarse grains can not only strengthen people's satiety, but also promote gastrointestinal peristalsis, which can be said to be one of the necessary menus for girls who love beauty and pursue healthy weight loss. Eggs, a common material in pancake fruit, are also recognized as nutrients in the world. Vegetables added to improve the taste, like coarse grains made of dough, can supplement various vitamins that human body lacks, and balanced meat can also provide necessary protein and energy for human body.

In addition, I should add that pancakes are chewy and can enhance the chewing ability of teeth, which is also good for dental health? But for those old people, it's a little unfriendly, but real old artists won't make crisp but not rotten, crisp and hard to bite pancake fruit, so through this, friends who want to eat authentic Tianjin pancake fruit can find it through mung bean skin and elderly stalls.

Four. conclusion

Pancake fruit carries not only the wisdom of ancestors, but also the childhood memories of many generations. After all, when I was at school, I went straight to the snack street next to my parents with my friends in groups of three or five. There is always a big sign that says? Authentic pancake fruit? The boss speaks Tianjin dialect and shouts loudly. Because of the unbearable fragrance, almost half of the people gathered around the small booth. Laughter, together with the smoke rising from the kitchen, is the first memory of a generation.
