The "Duke of Pei's dog meat", a popular dish in northern Jiangsu Province, is said to have been invented by Liu Bang, the founding emperor of the Han Dynasty. He had been awarded the title, Duke in Pei, which is today called Peixian County.
"West Lake fish with vinegar" is also called "brother and sister-in-law's fish with vinegar". The younger brother of a fishing family and his sister-in-law, who both lived near West lake in Hangzhou, were both good at cooking fish with vinegar. They ran away after killing a despot who tried to blackmail the fishermen. The neighbors continued making their special dish in honor of them, and the fish dish has been a local delicacy for centuries.
"Dongpo Pork" is said to have been invented by Su Dongpo, a famous man of letters in the Song Dynasty, when he was an official in Hangzhou. He once mobilized the local people to dredge the lake, and he served stewed pork in Shaoxing rice wine with special flavor instead of water to reward them. The pork dish was praised as Dongpo's number one dish.
