Shandong scallions,a quintessential culinary symbol of the region,embody a distinct mascu-line food imagery.Drawing on gustatory theory,the pungent flavor of scallions evokes emotional metaphors such as intensity and stimulation,traits often associated with masculinity.This masculine identity is further shaped by societal norms emphasizing feminine refinement and the scallions'health-promoting qualities,such as their associations with strength and vitality.The dietary practices and cultural ethos of Shandong resi-dents amplify this masculine characterization,intertwining it with the regional archetype of the"Shandong Strongman".Consequently,a dynamic interplay emerges between the gendered symbolism of food and the regional identity of Shandong.
