煤球王又给我们讲了,讲中国有八大菜系,西安是没有菜系的,为什么,因为西安是十三朝古都,皇帝在皇城的时候,全国各地都要把他们的菜拿来竞赛,西安就如同是一个大饭桌,各类菜都来摆,慢慢自己就没有什么大菜了。而没有了大菜,小吃却丰富了起来,这就是现在夜市上的羊肉泡,葫芦头,柿子饼,肉丸糊辣汤,粉蒸肉,卤汁凉粉,油泼面,大刀面,涎水面,摆汤面,凉皮,甑糕,麻什,油茶,汤包,油塔。
Our King of Briquettes was lecturing us again: China had eight major cuisines, but Xi’an wasn’t one of them. Why not? Because Xi’an was the capital of thirteen dynasties, and whenever the emperor was in residence, the other regions of China competed to bring him their dishes, so that Xi’an became one great banquet table, with every kind of delicacy laid out on it, and gradually its own culinary traditions died out. But formal cuisine aside, its tradition of street snacks flourished and could all be found here in the night market: paomo mutton soup, sliced tripe, dried persimmons, hulatang peppery beef soup, pork steamed with rice flour, marinated bean noodles, noodles with spicy meat sauce, big-knife noodles, spittle noodles, noodles in soup, liangpi noodles, steamed rice cakes, mashi cat’s ear noodles, oil-tea broth, steamed meat dumplings, and youta steamed rolls.
Chapter 49, Happy Dreams. Jia Pingwa (贾平凹《高兴》)
