端午节十大美食（组图）

Jiandui - Fried Cake 煎堆

Jiandui is a kind of fried round cake made of wheat and rice flour and something to sweeten them. In East China's Fujian province, every family eats jiandui on Dragon Boat Festival. A legend explains this custom. It is said that the area enters its rainy season during Dragon Boat Festival. People believed there were holes in the sky which, if not filled, would allow the rain to continue indefinitely. Eating jiandui is said to help mend the sky and fill the holes.

福建晋江一带，端午节家家户户要吃煎堆。煎堆用面粉、米粉或番薯粉和其他配料调成浓糊状煎成。相传古时闽南一带在端午节之前是雨季，阴雨连绵不止，民间说天公穿了洞，要“补天”。端午节吃了“煎堆”后雨便止了，人们说把天补好了。这种食俗由此而来。
