Guangdong Province — Cantonese winter health food tradition
Snake is considered a winter health food in Guangdong, consumed especially from September through March when snakes are fattiest. Chrysanthemum snake soup (ju hua she geng) is a Guangdong classic combining snake meat, chicken, dried mushrooms, and fresh chrysanthemum petals. Snake has white, mild flesh similar to chicken but with a distinctive texture from the long, thin muscle fibers.
