For a foodie, food is a very important part of the journey. Sometimes I miss a place, but I miss a certain kind of food there more.

This trip to Enshi, Hubei Province, I also felt a lot of local delicacies. The friends all lamented that Enshi is not only unique in natural scenery, but also rich in ethnic customs, and even the food is so distinctive that it is worthy of being a travel treasure.

At that time, I had a Tujia hanging pot banquet in Enshi Tujia style restaurant, which was Tujia hot pot.

Se-enriched small potatoes, corn Baba, Tujia dregs and Tujia bacon ... have strong Enshi characteristics.

In the Baren Hall in Enshi Daughter City, I watched a wonderful performance and ate dinner at night, and I also felt the boldness of throwing a bowl of wine.

drink in a big bowl, throw a bowl bravely, and throw a bowl of wine when you go to Enshi. Drinking a bowl of wine and eating a table of Tujia cuisine is an experience you can't miss.

A bowl of wine in Barentang costs one yuan. After drinking it, it is super decompression.

even at noon that day, in the canyon-style restaurant in Nverzhai of Enshi Grand Canyon, a table of local dishes was excellent, and there was no food that trampled on thunder at all.

But the trip to Enshi, which I still remember for a long time, was a table of private cuisine in Lichuan, Enshi, Miao's yard.

Lichuan City is the largest and most populous county-level city in Enshi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture. Seeing the shocking Tenglong Cave that day, one of the world's super caves, opened our eyes.

This is a restaurant that local friends in Lichuan took us to. On the first floor of a residential area, the storefront is so ordinary. The decoration of the restaurant is also very simple, but a table of dishes is amazing enough.

The most distinctive dish is this leek-scented rice bean curd, which is a special food created by Miao's small courtyard private restaurant. It is delicious and delicious.

We also watched with great interest the process of making leek-scented rice tofu. The main ingredients are Enshi local leeks, peasant rice tofu and handmade minced meat.

this is the first time I've heard of rice tofu. It is made by washing and soaking rice, adding water, grinding into rice slurry, adding alkali, decocting, and cooling to form a block of "tofu", which has the effects of softening blood vessels, reducing weight, expelling toxins, clearing heat and relieving summer heat.

I have to say that the potatoes in Enshi are really delicious. No matter what kind of dishes are made, they are delicious.

after checking, it turns out that Enshi potato is a special product of Enshi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture in Hubei Province, and it is also a geographical indication of agricultural products in China and a symbol product of chinese national geography.

Enshi is very suitable for the growth conditions of potatoes. There are many ways to eat small potatoes in Enshi, which are important food crops for local people. There is an old saying: "I am in a panic if I don't eat potato for three days. "

Enshi locals seem to like to eat water shield. I always thought that water shield was only eaten in Suzhou and Hangzhou.

this cold water shield is refreshing.

Water shield, also known as water chestnut, has the following functions:

First, water shield contains a lot of zinc, which can be absorbed by the body and can effectively prevent ADHD in children.

the second one, which contains a lot of dietary fiber, can play the role of relaxing bowels and prevent constipation.

the third kind, which contains a certain amount of glial protein, can adsorb toxins in the body and prevent poisoning.

The fourth one contains various vitamins, especially vitamin A, which can nourish and protect the liver.

A large pot of Miao's preserved pig's trotters is also called Miao's abalone by local people. There are dried pig's trotters and sea knots inside.

I really love to eat preserved pig's trotters! Special fragrance.

Simple fried bacon with fresh bamboo shoots:

This dish is called "Fried Meat with Guaer Salted Vegetable in Xiangjiawan", and it is the first time to eat it. Xiangjiawan is a place name under the jurisdiction of Lichuan, Enshi. The local area is rich in melons and vegetables, also called kohlrabi.

A pot of golden corn soup is made of jar corn flour, honeycomb and potato chips.

Beef brisket with golden soup is an improved dish, which is cooked with beef brisket, local taro and tomatoes.

A bowl of steamed pork of Miao nationality is made of black pig's fresh pork belly, jar of pork belly, jar of corn flour and horse pediatric potatoes.

the staple food is Miao rice Baba, which is very fragrant.

most of the rice here is potato rice. The small potatoes in the rice look clever and can be eaten one at a time.

Enshi Tujia and Miao Autonomous Prefecture, the only minority autonomous prefecture in Hubei Province, is located between the two "stoves" of Wuhan and Chongqing, and is one of the most suitable areas for human habitation.

Due to its special geographical environment, local restaurants have both the spicy characteristics of Sichuan and the salty and spicy style of Xiaoxiang. It is sincere to treat guests with large pieces of meat, and drink with earth bowls.

There are various local cuisines with Tujia and Miao characteristics, but it is also worth a visit for the sake of food.
