Lu'an Food
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Lu'an Food (六安美食) encompasses named dishes, snacks, tea and local products associated with Lu'an, a prefecture-level city in western Anhui. Municipal food programs list Wanxi white goose, Jinzhai hanging pot, Huoshan dendrobium old duck soup, Wanfo Lake fish head, Yeji lamb and Dajingguai buns among local specialties. A rural-tourism plan also records county foods and snacks. These lists connect foods with particular localities and promotion programs; they do not define one fixed recipe or an exhaustive menu.[1][2]
Lu'an's named foods reflect the range of its three districts and four counties. Regional food sources also feature Lu'an Guapian and other teas, while municipal records identify Yingjia Gongjiu as a liquor produced at Foziling in Huoshan County.[3]
Lu'an Food by District and County
Lu'an administers three districts—Jin'an, Yu'an and Yeji—and four counties—Huoqiu, Shucheng, Jinzhai and Huoshan. The municipal government reported this division at the end of 2023.[5] The municipal government lists its office at Foziling Middle Road 128.[11] The food associations below follow local government, tourism and product listings.
