Pot-baked Baba

鍋邊粑粑

Legend has it that a scholar heading for the national examination, pinched with hunger and cold, has to humble himself to beg for food from a poor family. The family happens to make the Pot-baked Baba, the local food like pies, on the stove and makes a room for him to join them. As all food is good to eat when you feel hungry, the scholar thinks it is the best meal ever. Afterwards, he becomes a successful candidate in the imperial examination and holds a post as a minister in the court. Although living an affluent life ever since, he often misses the Pot-baked Baba.

說有一書生趕考路上又冷又餓，面子熬不過肚子，就到一窮人家乞食，那家人正好竈頭上做是一鍋“鍋邊”，就着讓個位子出來讓書生同吃了，“飢餓好吃”，書生覺得這是有生以來最美的一頓飯。後來這書生科舉及第當上了相國之類的大官，錦衣繡食中卻突然想起了曾經吃過的“鍋邊粑粑”。
