In food talk
淮扬 is short for
淮扬菜, one of China's great regional cuisines, prized for fine knife work and light broths:
大煮干丝 (shredded tofu in broth),
狮子头 (lion's head meatballs) and
文思豆腐 (tofu cut into threads). The banquet that marked the founding of the People's Republic in 1949 was a Huaiyang menu.
