Generally speaking, the more regional snacks, the more difficult it is to get out of the local area and go to the whole country. On the contrary, if a snack has no characteristics, it will be more acceptable to everyone. Typical are Shaxian snacks: clear soup wonton, all kinds of covered rice that can ensure people to eat, and soup. Therefore, since Shaxian snacks have been produced, it is easy to copy them to the whole country in a short time.
Another typical example is roast sausage and stinky tofu. Because of the long shelf life, low cost and no problem after high temperature cooking, these foods can go to the whole country in a short time. So have we really chosen what we can eat? Actually, it's not. Snacks that are really popular all over the country and are sold everywhere are actually the same choices as vendors.
Let's talk about mutton bread in soup.
Mutton bread in soup began to take shape in the 1930s, when snacks began to spread all over the country, and it has gained considerable popularity. Therefore, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, because the snacks in Beijing were really unpalatable, boss, through instructions, opened many restaurants with local characteristics in Beijing at one time, including the Old Xi 'an Restaurant, a snack mainly consisting of mutton and steamed buns. The restaurants established at that time were basically for state banquets, so many friends, such as the well-known Prince Sihanouk at that time, must have eaten them.
When you think that foreign bosses won't be like me in Laoshan, holding a sea bowl and smoking, in fact, mutton paomo is usually the staple food. On such an advanced occasion as the state banquet, it is only a small bowl in the end, but it can actually hold the last pass, and there are China snacks. There aren't many snacks, so it would be strange for Trump to chew Regan Noodles.
The snack of mutton bread in soup is just a pure staple food, which is relatively simple for people with diversified dietary requirements today. But like Yang Yang's father and I, when two people eat bread in soup, they usually need half a catty of bacon, two cold dishes and some beer, which is not monotonous at all. A serious meal is the greatest respect for life.
But as far as I can see, in a first-tier city like Beijing, because of the high pressure and fast working frequency, everyone eats mainly outside. Traditional takeout is particularly greasy. Mutton bread in soup is exquisite, at least not so greasy, and there are mutton soup (by the way, the soup base of mutton bread in soup is different from mutton soup, and the soup base of mutton bread in soup must be clear), which is actually the choice of many people. At least in several areas where I have lived in Beijing, there will be mutton buns for take-out, and even if there is no discount, the business is quite good-this is the core competitiveness of the highly competitive catering industry.
As for some people who say that mutton buns are expensive and there are few pieces of meat in a bowl, my suggestion is that if you have no money in your pocket, don't blindly BB. Whether things are expensive or not is a particularly subjective matter. People who want to be cheap think pancakes are expensive. Regan Noodles in Wuhan is cheap, and you have never left Wuhan. Do you think Wuhan people and locals can eat Regan Noodles when they go out?
Therefore, words are actually "forgotten". It is almost impossible for mutton bread in soup to go out of Shaanxi and become a favorite snack of the whole country. However, it is definitely not a problem that mutton paomo can gain a foothold in first-tier cities. As for some people who can't afford it, they say it's not worthwhile. No one forced them to eat, they liked to eat or not.
Mr. Dong's personal view:
First, foreigners will find mutton buns expensive and cost-effective. A few chopped sesame cakes and a few pieces of meat are 30 yuan faster than eating vegetables.
Second, if mutton bread in soup is delicious and oily, it will be greasy and difficult for foreigners to accept.
Thirdly, I wonder, why do we have to let local snacks go to the whole country? One side of the soil and water support one side.
Fourth, there are mutton buns all over the country, but you didn't pay attention.
Fifth, we go to the country of origin to eat delicious food.
There are many snacks in Shaanxi, which can be described as exquisite. Sometimes, when I come to Xi, I don't know where to choose. However, most snacks in Shaanxi are mainly pasta, which is a staple food and can be used as a practical meal. Mutton bread in soup is one of them, and its position in the hearts of local people is not supreme. Maybe it's not as famous as the cold noodles in Chinese hamburger.
Why does mutton bread in soup taste a little bad when it comes out of Shaanxi? In fact, there are many reasons. The most important thing is eating habits. It's better in the north, where pasta is the main food in many places, but even so, how much can steamed buns be accepted, while rice is the main food in the south, and the market for steamed buns is relatively small.
In addition to eating habits, there is also the problem of price. The price of mutton bread in soup can be the price of a meal for one person or even two people. There are too many staple foods and too much food. In other provinces, they also have their own signature snacks, and breakfast dishes are used to their own characteristics, such as rice noodles in Yunnan, noodles in Sichuan, rice noodles in Guizhou and noodles in Anhui. Mutton in soup is too substitutable to be necessary. Mutton bread in soup is a form that favors dinner, but it is not as delicious as dinner, so its position is very embarrassing.
A bowl of mutton bread in soup, a sweet garlic and a bottle of Bingfeng drink are not the habits of many people. Perhaps only local people have food memories.
Nowadays, the smell of mutton bread in soup can be smelled in restaurants all over the country. This kind of thing is neither a meal nor a dish. I don't know when, where and who invented it: a pot of mutton soup was too thin to catch, so I threw a few pieces of single steamed bread into it to satisfy my hunger and gradually evolved into mutton buns. In fact, it is a kind of nondescript food, which is excellent with steamed buns. It is not appropriate to say that it is a staple food, and it is even more inappropriate to say that it is soup, and it is not pure when mixed with steamed bread. No matter the steamed stuffed bun in the northwest or northeast, no one can tell where the root is. They are the same, taste the same, and there is nothing special about them. They are nothing more than a bowl of broth and a bun. Most people think it's enough to eat it twice, and they won't order it again the third time. Because there is nothing to taste. To tell the truth, it is not as good as a bowl of mutton soup or soup. Thank you.
After eating Chinese hamburger in Xi 'an, I thought it was delicious. Maybe I was lucky enough to meet an authentic one. The meat is fat but not greasy, it tastes good, and the steamed bread skin is crisp, so it is really enjoyable to eat while it is hot.
Later, I learned that Xi 'an had mutton bread in soup, and I ate mutton bread in soup happily, so I avoided it.
The mutton soup is very weak, and there are only a few pieces of meat in it. Simple steamed bread doesn't taste good. I can't eat after a few bites.
Then, to answer this question directly, it is difficult for Xi 'an's mutton bread in soup to get out of Shaanxi.
First, after all, local snacks, to a large extent, are the habits of local people, and going abroad may not be applicable.
Second, taste, how do consumers pay for food that is unacceptable to taste buds and stomach? Food with gimmicks but bad taste is only a one-time consumption, which will reduce the overall influence and expectation of consumers on this food.
Third, cost performance, mutton buns are expensive to sell outside, and the weight of meat is not much. Consumers like cost-effective consumption. If the weight and price of mutton buns make people feel worthless, it will be difficult to sell them.
There is a saying that it is too expensive for people to buy a steamed stuffed bun. However, it does not rule out that there is indeed a cost-effective reason to make people feel worthless.
If mutton paomo takes the middle and high-end route, maintain the current price, strive to work hard on ingredients, taste and nutrition, pay attention to quality and taste, and create a comfortable environment. It will certainly be welcomed by people who like healthy life and health preservation, and in this way, it will open up new markets and establish its own brand image.
Xi's mutton bread in soup is very popular in Xi and Shaanxi, suitable for all ages. Especially in winter, mutton paomo is very popular in the streets and alleys of Shaanxi, and the mutton paomo restaurant is crowded with people. However, it has always been difficult to get out of Shaanxi and go to the whole country. As a Shaanxi native, I want to talk about the reasons:
1. Mutton bread in soup is an ancient way to eat mutton in Shaanxi, and it is also an organic combination of Han and nomadic diets. There is a nomadic diet culture in mutton paomo, and it also permeates the elements of Central Plains culture. The original road that has lasted for hundreds of years has not been carried forward in time, nor has it been further improved and developed. With the continuous development of society, people's eating habits and demand for food are also constantly improving, but the original way of making mutton buns remains unchanged, which is probably an important reason why mutton buns have not gone out of Shaanxi to the whole country.
Secondly, mutton and flour cakes are the main ingredients in mutton paomo, and only a piece of coriander leaf, a few pieces of pickled sugar garlic and Chili sauce are mixed, lacking vegetables that people like now, which is also a reason why mutton paomo failed to go out of Shaanxi to the whole country.
Thirdly, there is too much sheep oil in the soup of mutton bread in soup, which means that the animal fat and salt in mutton bread in soup are very heavy, which is a bit contrary to modern people's diet science. However, if the mutton bread in soup is light, it will lose the special taste of mutton, so it is not its mutton bread in soup. When eating mutton buns, you must eat this heavy taste.
Fourth, mutton is very fresh. When our ancestors made "fish" and "sheep", they made the word "fresh", which shows that mutton is particularly delicious. Objectively speaking, after thousands of years of continuous evolution and changes in human taste buds, the freshness of mutton is not suitable for everyone's taste buds. Mutton is very fresh, but it also has a pungent taste.
It's not just mutton buns that can't be saved! Henan mutton, Hui noodles and Xinjiang noodles, Shanxi Regan Noodles, Daoxiao Noodles and Hubei noodles, Sichuan noodles, Dandan Noodles and local snacks are all the same! Only Lanzhou, Lamian Noodles and Yunnan rice noodles can barely support all parts of the country. Nowadays, people eat too much, and fresh foods are emerging one after another, with more and more selectivity! Moreover, with the passage of time, the age structure of diners is getting lower and lower, and it is becoming more and more fashionable to choose mutton buns. Diners in Shaanxi are only popular in Guanzhong, but they don't recognize it because the local characteristics are too obvious. Shaanxi mutton paomo originated from Huimin Square in xi 'an, and the main consumers are basically Xi citizens and surrounding counties and cities! If you are not a local resident of Xi 'an, it is hard for you to accept such sticky cooking and stewing practices. In addition, some people have low acceptance of beef and mutton, so consumers are restricted. Even in Xi 'an, the main consumers are men, middle-aged and elderly people (over 35 years old), and Muslims (Muslims) are relatively authentic practitioners. Most of them are Guanzhong Muslims, and they don't like to go out to do business because of the font size and other reasons. Of course, they are not so famous and concerned. To sum up, these are the obstacles and bottlenecks that restrict mutton.

I'm from Xi. Literally speaking, I'm a local. I just went to college, and my dormitory is in Guangdong, Hunan. Let me take them to eat local snacks. I took them to eat steamed buns and asked for two steamed buns. The two brothers were really scared when they saw the bowl, but they didn't know how to eat it. They grabbed chopsticks and ate up a few pieces of meat on them. I ate happily.
I saw their faces, because I was unfamiliar at first, and I didn't ask many questions or say much, so I left. Then take them to eat fried rice with sauerkraut. Finally, they were satisfied. The bean jelly, mirror cake, Osmanthus Jelly and various snacks in the back are particularly satisfactory. With the passage of time, we graduated from graduate school. One of us went to Shanghai and the other went to Yunnan. I asked them at the party.
At that time, they said, I've never seen anyone eat like that. I can't stand the smell. After all these years, it's quite interesting to think of it. I'm still here. I love this mouth. Every time I eat bread in soup, I think of my two buddies. One side of the soil and water support one side. Don't ask everyone to like the food culture in your hometown. After all, they didn't grow up here, they are just a passer-by in this city.
As a native of Xi, Shaanxi, I didn't intend to respond to this question, but I saw a group of fools beeping, so let's say something!
Paomo! In the life of Xi people, it is about authentic taste and eating method. I'm ashamed to be here, too. I haven't broken steamed buns myself for many years. I usually order high-quality dishes directly, and I don't like stir-frying.
Because of frequent business trips, I have eaten steamed buns in various places, which really doesn't taste like that! Bread is not that bread, and soup is not that soup.
There are very objective reasons why steamed buns can't go out. First of all, a foreign steamed stuffed bun chef in Xi, Shaanxi made steamed buns with local flour, which were purulent after cooking, and the taste of soup was obviously different. In Gansu, where sheep are produced, I have eaten paomo, the kind of steamed bread. . . . . It's just paste
Outsiders say that eating steamed buns in Xi 'an tastes terrible! I just want to say that every city, big or small, has its own folk commercial street. You eat Fuzhou food in Sanfangqixiang, which tastes different from other places in Fuzhou. You eat Cantonese food in Guangzhou and Shunde. You eat Yunnan food in Lijiang or Shuhe ancient town, and the taste is different from other places in Yunnan. You eat Tibetan food in Lhasa and also in Ali. Can you say that this thing itself is not good?
Eat paomo in Xi 'an Huimin Street! A near 50 yuan, Xi 'an and other places to eat, high-quality paomo 23/25 yuan! You insist on eating bread in soup in the commercial street, but if you don't eat it, you think you have been cheated! Then as we people in Xi, Shaanxi, we have to choose to shut up! It is good that you are happy!
But when you're done! When you complain about the bad taste, please remember what you eat in the commercial street in front of your house! Remember one thing! ! ! ! ! 4A scenic spot of Huimin Street! ! ! !
Drum tower goes west to the west gate, near the west gate, crosses the intersection of North Street to the north, exits the south gate to the south, and crosses Duanlimen to the east. Don't worry, you can eat paomo, which is authentic. Only a few foreigners are willing to do their homework carefully before coming to Xi. Few people will seriously distinguish between commercial and community paomo shops with Xi 'an residential area as the core.
These stores! ! ! At least you won't eat the local dumplings. You book one on 23/25, which is close to 50.
