Eating brain flowers is like falling in love with Chengdu people. At first glance, there are many kinds of delicious food in Chengdu. When I first met Chengdu people, I looked very cute. Chengdu dialect is sweet and easy to appreciate.
But it took a long time to find that the best food is usually internal organs, such as fat intestines, brain flowers, lung slices, stomach and so on. They don't have the courage to move chopsticks.
However, if you dare to taste it, you will be involuntarily attracted by the magical delicacy of brain flowers and eat it bite by bite, just as love has finally passed the adaptation period and is impressed by the rigidity and softness of Chengdu people. Congratulations! You are already a part of Chengdu!
Chengdu people's love for brain flowers may be a genetic problem, passed down from generation to generation. As the only child in the family, I remember when I was a child, but whenever I found an animal's skull, my mother said that brain flower was the "essence" inside, so I only ate it:
Fish brains are picked with chopsticks. The duck's skull must be cut in half. The back of the chicken skull is very thin, and the knocked teeth can break the skull to get a complete brain flower. Similarly, cutting the rabbit's brain in half is boring. You have to pry open the skull from back to front to feel a sense of accomplishment.
Of course, these are still not as good as eating pig brains. These steps are bad and complicated. If you are not careful, you can easily fall into a fracture. However, the pig brain flower is white, tender and big. This bowl is a complete shake bowl. The key is no bones. For you, digging with a spoon is better than peeling 1000 sunflower seeds!
In addition to unparalleled taste, when the old man sells it to you, he doesn't forget to add a layer of China tradition and ancient philosophy to the brain flower. Make up what you eat.
