Festival Food

Because of the poor and hard lifestyle character of a farming society, the Chinese farming families would only have the food days by days which were being got from the farming field, such as, potatoes, tomatoes, taro, gourds, vegetable, sweetcorn, mushrooms, etc., but very less of meat.

So, the Chinese will have many special dishes of meat recipes during the Chinese festival, mainly the Chicken and Fish, those they do not have in the normal days.

Many many meat recipes dishes, for the festival celebration and the gathering happyness.

There are some special snack, or to be said, festival food will be made during the Chinese festivals.
