Taizhou cake eating tube

Taizhou cake cone is a special snack in Jiaojiang District, Taizhou City, Zhejiang Province. The cake-eating tube originated in Huangyan, and it is recorded in local chronicles to commemorate Qi Jiguang. Cake-eating tube is also called wheat cake tube. Put wheat flour in a paste pan, bake it into a big round pancake, put stuffing such as sliced meat, mung bean sprouts, egg skin, bamboo shoots, dried bean curd, rice flour, etc., and roll it into a tube to eat. Cake eating tube is a unique traditional snack of Han nationality in Taizhou, Zhejiang Province, and it is a holiday food custom. Taizhou people have the custom of eating tin cakes (wheat cakes and cakes-eating tubes) on long summer, Dragon Boat Festival and May 13th. Cake-eating tube, also known as "catching sheep with five tigers", just as its name implies, is to wrap all kinds of delicious food in a tube shape with a thin paper-like wheat bran (also a rice tube baked with rice paste), which contains many dishes, such as carrots, shredded pork, celery and other delicious dishes. It is also commonly known as "wheat bran" and also called wheat cake tube and tin cake. The practice of eating cake tube: making cake tube can be complicated or simple, depending on your own preferences. But the most important thing is that there must be a wrapper for rolled food, and the quality of the wrapper is very particular. It should be both thin and tough. If the toughness is not enough, things will easily break on a package. If the wrapper is too thick, it will directly affect the taste. Now it's better. There are ready-made cakes and skins on the market, which saves a lot of trouble. Generally speaking, the stuffing inside is dried rice noodles, shredded eggs, braised pork, fried leek with dried bean curd, fried meat with onion or garlic core, cabbage, mung bean sprouts, and others. As long as they meet their own tastes, almost all foods can be used as stuffing for eating cakes. Spread the skin flat on the table, put your favorite side dishes on the skin with chopsticks, and then roll them into a cylindrical shape with a diameter of 5 cm. You can eat two or three tubes in general and four or five tubes in many cases. However, wrapping cakes requires technology. Too big a bag is like a fat middle-aged woman, bloated and clumsy, affecting her appetite, and sometimes bursting the outer crust, so that all the depressions inside are squeezed out of this crack, and eating is not so special. She is too young and a young girl with undeveloped teeth, and she has not put enough vegetable materials. She just eats the cake skin, and if she bites it in her mouth, it will definitely taste much worse. At the same time, you should be neutral and not broken in the process of eating. Between your hands and lips, you should always keep the whole body clean until it enters your esophagus. This is a skill.
