When speaking of traditional snacks in Taizhou, we have to mention the straw-cooked spiced sesame cake. Few people can tell the exact history of this delicacy, but the family of Master Wang, who sells the spiced sesame cake for a living, has been making the sesame cake for five or six generations.
After the straw is burned and sprinkled with water, the cakes are put one by one on the wall of the stove, and then the mouth-watering aroma of sesame from the stove is eagerly anticipated. Walking in the old streets of Taizhou with freshly baked spiced sesame cake in the mouth, we hope that the humble passion for food can last forever in the Chinese.
