I don’t know what custom this is from!
We eat dumplings here. It used to be customary to eat noodles during the dog days, but these days there’s no such strict rule anymore.
I never knew the intricacies involved here; I came in to learn a bit, but haven’t learned much yet. I’m looking forward to hearing from some fellow netizens for answers...
In Hunan, people eat dog meat during the hot season; as the saying goes, sheep in winter and dogs in summer.
The most standard answer: there are customs, rules to follow, and a specific location
What’s the significance of this? ? ? ?
I don’t know. . . I remember that it was at this time that I would buy mung bean cakes to eat. . . Now it’s even impossible to find the most common one. . . It’s long and strip-shaped; some of them have a layer of white sugar on top, with red marks on that sugar as well. . .
What you describe sounds like the mung bean and amomum cake from Sichuan
