There have been many controversies over differences in diet between the North and the South in China. For example, a northern Chinese may wonder why their southern fellows must have stir-fried vegetables as the last dish for a meal, while the southerner may be surprised to know that people from north always hoard cabbages before winter.

南北方之间的饮食差异已经被讨论过很多次了。例如南方人不懂北方人囤百斤大白菜过冬，北方人不懂南方人点菜最后一道菜为什么一定是炒青菜。

hoard：贮藏
