This is a major feature of local food culture. Rural household stoves usually cook anything they have. The raw materials are easily available, cooked on the spot and delicious. In our country, there are many winding mountains. For the villagers living between Shan Ye, it is natural to "rely on mountains to eat mountains". Shan Ye is full of miracles, from pheasants, turtledoves, rabbits, snakes and even frogs, all of which are home-cooked dishes that villagers in mountain villages can eat.

In Nanshan District, Fujian Province, there is a frog called Stone Scale, and there is also a frog called Stone Chicken under the stream and deep pool in Lushan District, a famous scenic spot in Jiangxi Province. These frogs are not only tender and delicious, but also have a good nourishing effect.

For a long time, these home-cooked dishes, which were randomly captured and stewed by the people in mountain villages, are now introduced into shops and bought by hotels and restaurants. The delicacies at the grand banquet and the diet in the mountain village include not only meat dishes such as birds and animals, but also vegetarian dishes growing all over the mountain, especially fungi, such as wild mushrooms, black fungus and fragrant cockroaches, which are good raw materials for the people in the mountain village to cook. These wild vegetables and mushrooms grown in the mountains have long been coveted by urban nobles.

The inland of China is full of rivers and lakes, which breed all kinds of aquatic animals and plants and bring many benefits to the diet and life of villagers everywhere. Those famous freshwater fish, such as Yellow River carp, Yangtze river swordfish, Fuchunjiang shad, Songjiang perch and Zhuxi giant salamander, are not unusual to local villagers, and there are other kinds of fresh water, which are often local delicacies, such as snails, shrimp mussels and crabs. In addition, water lilies, lotus roots, lotus seeds and other aquatic plants are also the favorite things for villagers who eat by water.

In addition, in the nomadic and animal husbandry developed areas of China, rich beef and mutton are the main food raw materials for ethnic minorities. Some special cooking methods and meat and milk foods with strong ethnic flavor created by them in their long-term life practice (which are urgently needed to be developed and utilized, especially halal foods) are still loved and welcomed by herders, and many of them are halal foods. Among dairy foods, the experience of ethnic minorities in manufacturing, processing and eating dairy products is particularly valuable, which enriches the content of China's food culture. For example, Mongolian milk tofu, souffle, Kazakh koumiss, Tibetan yogurt and milk residue. The unique dietary styles of these ethnic groups occupy a particularly important position in China's dietary culture.
