Laba porridge

Laba Festival, commonly known as Laba Festival, is the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month. The ancients had the tradition of worshiping ancestors and gods and praying for a good harvest. In some areas, there is the custom of drinking Laba porridge. The moon at the end of the year is called "La", which has three meanings: the first one is "La", which means the transition between the old and the new ("Book of Sui·Li"); the second is "La", which refers to hunting in the field to obtain animals for worshiping ancestors and gods. On January 5, 2017, we celebrate the Laba Festival, cook Laba porridge, and drink Laba porridge!

Savory Laba Porridge

As a Sichuanese, I grew up eating salty Laba porridge. I used to see my grandma start preparing the ingredients on the first day. She would wake her up at around 6 o'clock in the morning for Laba. As soon as I entered the kitchen, I saw her using a big wood pot to cook a big pot of Laba porridge for two days. Later, the big firewood pot was gone, and grandma was gone, and I no longer had that feeling. When I told my parents-in-law, they both said that they had never eaten salty food, and they all eat sweet food in the Northeast. I made it today for them to try.
