To me, this kind of food should be coriander, also called coriander. This name sounds really nice now, but when I was a child, I was afraid and hated it. Maybe it was because it was more natural in the past and didn't mutate much. The smell of coriander is very strong. When it comes to fragrance, it's just confusing right and wrong. The smell is unforgettable. Anyway, it feels hard to swallow, unable to enter the mouth, and extremely unpalatable. In the past, I hated being poor and couldn't afford wheat and white noodles, so I usually ate bean noodles. The noodles couldn't be rolled into strips and looked like duck food. So the adults added coriander to the noodles. Although it looked nice with a little green leaves, it didn't look good. The smell is very unpleasant and pungent to the nose. Today's coriander no longer has the original, authentic and essential smell of the past, just like watermelon and various vegetable melons. You can't taste the same taste as in the past, and you rarely see the good-looking shape in the past. Maybe it's because life has improved and the flavors are no longer singular, or maybe it's because of the development and evolution of plants, I don't know. Now I have become particularly fond of eating coriander. If the milky white mutton soup is sprinkled with a few thin slices of attractive lamb, without the embellishment and taste of coriander, I will feel that something is missing, and it seems to affect the appetite. The deliciousness of the mutton soup Can't get out either. The aroma of meat mixed with the aroma of coriander is the most beautiful food in the world. You also need to add coriander when eating noodles. The light and thick texture makes people like it. It's delicious to eat. Even the soup is watery. It's still delicious. It doesn't hate coriander as much as when I was a child. That's really good. Enjoy life. If you feel the same way, welcome to communicate and comment!

Oysters

First of all, I am a Chaoshan native. There is a sea in my hometown, so I can often eat seafood. Because oysters are cheaper, we eat more.

When I was a kid, the main way to cook oysters was to make soup or oyster omelette. Oyster omelette is also a special beauty in Chaoshan area.

However, when I was a child, I really had no feeling at all about oysters, which are such aggressive seafood, especially their belly, which always made me feel disgusting. If you ask me to eat oyster omelette, you might as well give me prune omelet.

Later, as I grew older, I began to slowly accept oysters. Oyster omelette is indeed a delicious food, especially when dipped in fresh fish sauce. You can even eat dozens of grilled oysters at one time. Friends who come to Chaoshan should not miss the delicious oyster omelette.

Ginger and garlic

When I was a kid, I would pick out the ginger. Now I think it tastes bad when cooking fragrant porridge, and I would put a handful of ginger in a hot pot. I feel that eating some ginger and garlic should be quite good for the body.

Old mature vinegar

The first time old mature vinegar appeared at home was when my mother bought it. When I tasted it for the first time, it felt really unpleasant. Later, when I went to high school and college, I would add vinegar every time I ate noodles. And adding a lot of it makes the noodle soup very sour and refreshing. I’m also curious about the Shanxi people’s concept of jealousy!

Tea

To get back to the subject, as a Chaoshan person, I have been dealing with tea since I was sensible. I believe that many of my friends, like me, did not like drinking tea when they were young because they found it very bitter. If the adults asked for tea, they would just give it a cup or two. However, now in my early 20s, I am addicted to tea. When I was in school, I would usually make tea after lunch, and I preferred to drink strong tea, which I feel can really achieve the effect of removing greasiness.

Okay, the above is my answer. If you have any different changes, you can interact in the comments. I’m also curious if there is anything in the north that I didn’t like to eat since I was a kid.

I have always felt that one of the greatest joys of food is the constant exploration. There are all kinds of wonderful foods in this world, so sometimes the appearance or smell of a food may make me uncomfortable. I’m getting used to it, but usually I want to try it. This seems to be my attitude towards food all the time, so I did find some foods that I thought were not delicious before, but are actually very delicious. Let’s share a few of them below.

Durian

When talking about such a topic, we really can’t avoid durian. I think many people who like to eat durian now may feel the same as me. I used to frown a little when I saw durian sellers in supermarkets, because the smell of ripe durian is quite strong, until one time I was forced to take a bite of durian, and it really opened the door to a new world. The strange "stink" comes with a rich and extreme sweetness. This feeling is similar to eating stinky tofu. Once you accept it, it feels good. Now whenever we encounter a good durian, we will basically buy one.

Oysters

Those of us who grew up in inland cities had little chance to eat oysters in our hometown, and we were not used to chewing the whole mollusk a long time ago. way. But since I started eating oyster delicacies such as garlic grilled oysters, oyster bakes, etc., I think this kind of fresh and tender shellfish is really great, especially when paired with beer in summer. In addition to my favorite boiled baby octopus, In addition, I think oysters are also very suitable and one of the standard accessories for barbecue.

Mutton

When I was a child, I didn’t eat mutton because I didn’t like the taste of mutton that was different from other meats. Let’s just say it was smelly.

But I don’t remember when it started, but mutton seems to have become one of my favorite meats. Whether it’s mutton skewers, boiled mutton, grilled mutton chops, mutton dumplings, or haggis soup, I like them all now. . Maybe it’s because when I was a child, I relied more on direct smell and appearance to judge the time, but now I can taste and enjoy food more comprehensively.

I wonder if anyone has similar experiences to me regarding the above foods? Is there any food that you never ate before, but after you tried it, you found it unforgettable?

The first thing is chicken. I remember when I was a kid, it was either braised or stewed in chicken soup. I basically didn’t eat braised chicken. If it was stewed in chicken soup, I would drink a little soup.

Maybe it’s because I’m still young and my teeth are stuffed with chicken, so I can’t chew it thoroughly, so I never eat chicken.

It wasn’t until I went to Xinjiang for a few years that I was addicted to it for the first time when I ate a large plate of chicken. The chicken was not as tough as I thought, but rather tender (I don’t know if it’s because I’m older and have better teeth). It’s because I have a good appetite, haha), and the spiciness just satisfies my taste as a Chongqing native.

It’s really weird. Since I ate the big plate of chicken, I have also fallen in love with all kinds of chicken. Although I still can’t say I love the chicken in the chicken soup, I don’t dislike it anymore.

In fact, if you want to eat it even if you eat it, and you will be completely addicted after taking one bite, chicken is not completely considered to me. The following foods must be counted. I think some people are like me.

Bitter melon, Pleurotus root, coriander. Bitter melon is something I didn’t eat before but I gradually fell in love with it. Pleurotus root and coriander are completely addictive and I fell in love with it after just one bite.

It is said that there are also "anti-Pleurotus genus alliance" and "anti-cilantro alliance". I actually love both.

Doenjang. Although I live in the Northeast, I never ate miso when I was a kid. There are two reasons, one is the process of making it, and the other is the smell. When making sauce, the lumps of sauce that have been left out for a long time are covered with colorful hairs, which makes them uncomfortable to look at. Not to mention when it's down to the tank, it smells really bad when it's time to rake it. What’s even more unbearable is that sometimes there are maggots... At that time, I thought how could anyone eat this!

Until one day, after eating fried eggplant with soy sauce, I got out of hand. This thing looks and smells really different from eating it. In a small basin, add some sauce, beat a few eggs, don't stir them, just put them in the pot to steam them, it's delicious! Now that I haven’t eaten for a long time, I really miss it. If you really can't fry it, just eat it as a pickle during meals. Nowadays, people don’t have time, and if they have time, they don’t have the place to make the sauce. They can only buy bags of it. Although I don’t think it’s as delicious as the sauce my grandma made when I was a child, I’ll make do with it. The memories of my childhood can only remain in my mind as memories.

Hahaha, when I say this, I think of durian! ! ! My mother used to really like to eat durian, but the most I bought for her was that she didn’t like to smell it! Not to mention eating it.

I stayed away when she was eating, for fear of smelling the stench! ! ! But once, when my mother was eating durian, she gave my son a small piece. The child fell in love with durian instantly and was infected by his grandma, haha! ! My son Xiao insisted on letting me take a bite. He ate less and still refused to eat. I couldn't resist the little guy. I just held my breath and took such a bite. It was completely unexpected. It turned out that it didn't smell very good. Slowly Taste it, its meat is particularly delicate and its texture is particularly silky! This time I fell in love with durian. No wonder so many people like to eat it, but it has one disadvantage, it is too expensive. If only it could be like apples
