As with much of southern China, the staple foods of Xiamen have long been rice, [[Chinese fishing industry|seafood]], pork, [[sweet potato]]es, various [[Chinese pickles|pickled vegetables]], and [[bok choy]].<ref name=nom>{{harvp|Pitcher|1893|p=[https://books.google.com/books?id=K8QIAwAAQBAJ&pg=PA38 38]}}.</ref> Its traditional dishes form a branch of southern [[Fujianese cuisine]], with [[Taiwanese cuisine|Taiwanese]] influence. It is particularly well known within China for its [[xiaochi|street food]] and snacks. A local specialty is worm jelly {{nowrap|(<small>[[traditional characters|t]]</small> {{lang|zh|土笋凍}},}} {{nowrap|<small>[[simplified characters|s]]</small> {{lang|zh|土笋冻}},}} ''tǔsǔndòng''), a [[aspic|gelatin]] made from [[Sipunculus nudus|a kind of marine peanut worm]].
