One, the local traditional food is not recognized and accepted
Beijing can be linked to the "food desert", a variety of traditional snacks accounted for half of the "credit", such as soybean juice, boiled, fried liver, noodle tea, etc. Although these are authentic old Beijingers Although these are authentic old Beijinger's favorite, but in the eyes of foreign tourists and migrant workers is more like a "dark cuisine", no exquisite, appetizing appearance not to mention the flavor tasted many people were persuaded to retreat, can be described as a double blow on the visual and taste.
In the eyes of Beijingers, bean juice with caramelized rings and pickled vegetables is a beautiful breakfast, but in the evaluation of outsiders, bean juice is more like rancid swill with a sour smell, drink once is "unforgettable", and can not help but come up with the idea that will never drink a second time.
Broiled, fried liver inside a lot of pig intestines, pig liver, etc., would have dissuaded a lot of people, coupled with the sauce red broth, gravy, more so that outsiders refused to go out of the country.
