In the early days of Kinmen, people’s diet is simple and plain because of the poor natural environment. Even though the environment situation was not good for the resources of cooking ingredients, the early Kinmenese people were stimulated by this situation and found special recipe and created local Kinmenese food. They followed the nature and took actions that suited seasons and local circumstances for Kinmenese style food.
Beginnig in 1949, the island was defended by the National Army. It was a grand occasion to have so many soldiers liveing on this island. The soldiers brought to Kinmen not only the economic miracle but also the new dietary style.
Coming from the different counties and province, the soldiers missed their hometown flavor cuisine. Then people found new cooking ways. They blended and combined the local items of ingredients to cook some special food with Kinmenese style.
This combination of south cooking and north cooking ways created some tasty local food in Kinmen. Meanwhile the great consumption by so many soldiers on this island really stimulated the development of Kinmenese economy. The combination of different cooking ways also made some special diners boom at that time.
In 1993, Kinmen opened tourism. After that, tourist restaurants were springing up because of the great number of tourists. By the changing of better economy, fowl, meat, and fish are no longer consumed only on special festivals. They have become daily foods. It’s common to eat all kinds of foods every day.
As a result, some higher priced restaurants are booming, such as the western steak houses, Japanese restaurants, barbecue shops and some Japanese hot pot shops. These multiple choices of dietary culture make a big change in Kinmen.
We surveyed the farms and countries to study the variety and development of this dietary style in Kinmen nowadays. In this study, we learned the early Kinmenese diet was tied to the traditional festivals. But now the current trend is towards tourism.
Through the survey, we hope to study how the diet is changing in this developing Kinmen and even how it will be changed in the future.
