Quzhou Three Heads and One Palm (rabbit head, duck head, fish head, duck paw) is a local specialty food in Quzhou. The most representative one is the rabbit head, which has fine and loose meat with high quality. It contains protein, low fat, and low cholesterol.

The history of Quzhou's three heads and one palm (rabbit head, duck head, fish head and duck paw) is very long, starting with the duck head and rabbit head. In the 1950s, there was a refrigeration factory in Quzhou that specialized in killing ducks and rabbits. Duck feathers and duck meat were all used as needed, but no one cared about the duck heads. Because living standards were relatively low at that time, poor people would buy duck or rabbit heads home (three cents a pound) and burn them to eat. One day, an aunt put up a "spicy rabbit head" in front of her house in order to subsidize the family income. "Stall, the spicy rabbit head is cheap and delicious, and it suddenly became popular in Qucheng. Because the cost of doing rabbit head business is low and you can make some money. Nowadays, "Three Heads" is not only popular in snack bars and food stalls on the streets, but has also become a specialty or branded dish in hotels and hotels. So the habit of eating duck heads and rabbit heads gradually came from this. It was not until the early 1990s that duck heads and rabbit heads really became popular. Their popularity not only made Quzhou people feel honored, but also spread to all parts of the country and became popular. Personally, I prefer the duck head and duck paws from Bu Lao Shen. The best rabbit head is at an unknown shop at the intersection of Rende Road
