What are the famous dishes in Hunan cuisine?

It is said that the origin of chopped pepper fish head can be traced back to the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty, when Huang Zongxian, an anti-Qing scholar, fled because he was afraid of literary inquisition.

On the way, I passed a small village in Hunan and lived with a poor farmer. The farmer caught a chubby fish from the pond, and the peasant woman entertained Huang Zongxian with cooking. After the fish is washed, cook it with salt, then chop it with homemade peppers and steam it with the fish head. I don't want Huang Zongxian to think it's delicious and unforgettable.

Development history

A large number of exquisite pottery vessels and wine vessels unearthed from the Neolithic sites in Hunan Province, as well as the remains of grains and animal bones unearthed with these pottery, confirm that Xiaoxiang ancestors broke away from the original state of eating animals and cooked food as early as 89,000 years ago.
