According to Baidu Post Bar, in Jiangsu Province, the tastes of southern Jiangsu and northern Jiangsu are slightly different:
1. Huaiyang area prefers to eat sweet dishes, which are not necessarily particularly spicy or hot and sour, but some sugar will be added to neutralize the spicy taste of pepper; The tastes of the central Jiangsu and northern Jiangsu are similar to those of most parts of the country, and they all like spicy taste (the "fragrance" here refers to the taste of ginger, garlic and other accessories).
It is understood that eating hot pot in Nanjing is slightly spicy, which is different from the spicy taste of Sichuan-Chongqing hot pot.
3. So generally speaking, although people in Jiangsu are not exclusive to eating spicy food, and the eating habits in different regions are different, the spicy food eaten in Jiangsu is milder than the heavy oil and heavy salt in southwest and central China, which can be called fresh spicy or spicy.
