Tianmo is a traditional popular porridge food in Jinan. It is a salty porridge mainly cooked with millet noodles. It is also commonly known by Jinan people as "spicy sweetmo". Among the many snacks in Jinan, Tianmo is the most inexpensive and good-quality "signature" famous snack.

One of the origins of Tianmo: In the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, due to natural disasters and wars, a large number of refugees flocked to Jinan. There was a small porridge shop surnamed Tian, who often gave porridge relief. The victims told each other, and more people came to the porridge shop to drink porridge and save lives. The congee shop couldn't meet the demand, so they added a lot of vegetable leaves and salty and spicy seasonings into the porridge. Whenever the victims saw foam in the large pot of porridge before serving a bowl of porridge, they affectionately called it "Tian Mo", which was the porridge made by Mr. Tian. Sometimes there is a poor scholar who came to the province to rush for the exam and came here to get this porridge. The food was so sweet and I thought that the "sweet mo" fruit was well known. Later, after the scholars got fame and became an official, when they made a special trip to Jiujiang to drink Sweet Mo, they no longer felt like they were in the past. When asked the reason, the boss replied that it was really "Tian Mo", meaning porridge with the name Tian. The official realized that it was caused by the mistake of only listening to the sound but not distinguishing the handwriting, so he inscribed the "Tian Mo" plaque and chanted a poem: "The mistake of Tian Mo was made Mo Tian, just because of the vicissitudes of the past; all the vicissitudes of life. The taste is always sweet after bitterness." From then on, this salty porridge was called "Tianmo". It seems that only by going to the scene and drinking this delicious salty porridge can you feel the origin of Tianmo!

The origin of Tianmo #2 The origin of "Tianmo" is the best way to "justify it": at first it was not called "Tianmo", but "Tian Moer"-when the porridge is ready, add some vermicelli, Vegetables, peanuts, seasonings and other "moons", taste it, it tastes great! "Tim Moer" spread. Later, people turned into "sweet foam" according to its homophony. "
