the most famous snake in ur hometown?

Goubuli's Stuffed Buns - Goubuli's stuffed buns are known for their generous filling, which is succulent but not greasy. 

This famous snack was created during the late Qing Dynasty by a native of Wuqing County, who had the nickname "Dogy". At the age of 14, Dogy left home and came to Tianjin, where he was apprenticed to a restaurant specializing in stuffed buns. A diligent and honest young man, he eventually opened a shop of his own. As his stuffed buns tasted better and had a unique flavour, they attracted an increasing number of customers. As time went by, his nickname became known far and wide. Later, people changed "Dogy" to "Goubuli", which literally means "the Dogy who doesn't talk", because he was often too busy to speak to his customers. Then, eventually, his buns were called by the same name.

Today, with its main outlet located at 77 Shandong Road, Heping District, the Goubuli Bun Shop has developed into a corporation with 89 branch restaurants opened in Tianjin and two dozen other Chinese cities, provinces and regions. In addition to over 90 varieties of stuffed bun, its restaurants also offer more than 200 dishes.

Goubuli Bun Shop is working to enter the international market, and now has shops in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, Singapore, Japan, Korea and the United States.

that's a very good topic. I ever went to Tianjin & tried some. They are really dilicious. I also think it's the part of Chinese culture. And hope these refreshments can be known around world.

At first I thought your topis was about snake, then when I read it, it was about snack!;) No offense meant, but I now understand what you're trying to say so I'll share to you what's famous in our town. We have here many types of delicacies, yes you are right, each town has it's own also. But we have here mostly of rice cakes, different kinds and different tastes for every town. Rice cakes are made from glutinous rice with coconut milk, sugar and sometimes with shredded coconuts as dips. It is mostly served here in town fiestas(festivals), I think we also have those Goubuli stuffed buns here, but it's hard to find, since chinatown is far from our place.
