The Old Taste of Shanghai (Third Edition)

Shanghai's old flavors are delicacies that have disappeared or are disappearing. They reflect the economic conditions of an era and also reflect the cultural environment and secular ecology of Shanghai citizens. Starting from grassroots food, gaining insight into the characteristics of the times, and then expressing people's nostalgia and yearning for a better life, this is the starting point of this book. It is divided into four albums: "A humble life full of water vapor", "A big blue and white bowl on the Eight Immortals' table", "Common people's delicacies with spring flowers and autumn fruits" and "Thick oily red sauce inside and outside the city". Compared with the first edition ten years ago, this third edition has deleted some slightly outdated articles, added new articles that are more relevant to the times, and revised the names and origins of some snacks in the original version to make the main theme of the book more relevant.
