What special snacks have you ever eaten that are famous but taste terrible? We must look at those local famous foods with objectivity, love and understanding. After all, the water and soil of a place nourish the people of a place, because the compatriots who have lived there or here love to eat it. If we don't like it, it is just because our taste is not suitable for it.

Shanghai braised pork ribs

This is a favorite specialty in the Yangtze River Delta region, including Zhejiang. But Shanghainese like to eat it most. More than ten years ago, I saw Da Pai for the first time, and I was shocked. As a strong man from the north who eats meat and drinks a lot, I was really shocked. Shanghai, the Shanghai style is so tasteful, such a big piece of meat, It's actually called big steak, but I've never had it before. The smell of green onions, soy sauce juice, and cooking wine mixed with it hit my face, and I was immediately shuddered. I thought that Shanghai-style food can also produce big chunks of meat. I tried to pick it up with chopsticks and took a bite. The juice was sticky and slightly Sweet and slightly salty, I instantly felt greasy and didn’t know what it was.

I have always thought that the origin of pork ribs is that they are imitations of Western steaks, nondescript. The biggest reason is that people who have lived in the metropolis of Shanghai for a long time have a worship and possessive mentality towards pork. Breaking away from nature, eating large pieces of pork as psychological compensation!

Personally, I find Ningbo’s stinky winter melon very unacceptable. The taste is simply unpalatable! I suggest you go to the public toilet, it’s the same! ! ! The locals also say that it is "smelly" and delicious just like stinky tofu. In fact, how can stinky tofu smell like a public toilet?

Xiamen Bamboo Shoot Jelly

The ingredients are really weird, and the texture is really weird. The combination of jelly snot + bugs is simply unpalatable!

I bought souvenirs in Beijing, which are preserved fruits made from some northern fruits. The taste is sweet. The more famous ones make a donkey roll, and the sweet ones make a toothache. They are also difficult to swallow. If you eat too much, you will probably get diabetes. There is another alternative in Beijing. There is a well-known snack fried pork liver at Qingmou Feng Baozi Shop. The cooking method will subvert your three views. You will find that the pork liver is not fried, but made with starch. It's stuffy, and as a southerner, you won't want to eat it a second time after you eat it once.

There are also rice cakes, rice cakes, osmanthus cakes and the like from various places. I have eaten from Yunnan, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Guangxi and Guilin, and Guangdong. They all have the same characteristic, that is, the more traditional they are, the more unpalatable they are. Later I discovered the reason. In ancient times, there was no delicious food. In order to satisfy the craving, they would turn the rice into powder, add some sugar, and simply process it to make delicious food. But for modern people who are used to eating all kinds of highly processed foods. He said that eating such food is very challenging.

In people’s understanding of food, there is a kind of food that is deep in memory. Eating is a kind of memory and a kind of nostalgia. Once such food goes out of this region, it will become a foreign food. Food that is hard to swallow in the mouth.
