The term "dark cuisine" originated in Japanese animation, and was later referred to as "dark cuisine" because the ingredients and processes of the dishes are incredible, and the finished products are very strange in shape, color, taste and smell. These foods that destroy human taste and vision are collectively called "dark cuisine". As we all know, some parts of Guangxi and Yunnan in China often love to eat some insects, which makes people feel that their tastes are heavy. However, Shandong, as a populous province, not only has famous Shandong cuisine, but also has some other kinds of food. Let's take a look at the top 1 dark dishes in Shandong, which are regarded as delicious by locals, and foreign diners are discouraged and unable to eat.

1. Qingdao cuttlefish jiaozi

jiaozi cuttlefish is one of the special snacks in Qingdao. I was really afraid to eat this kind of food at first sight. When a plate of shiny black jiaozi was served, it suddenly made you tremble. jiaozi cuttlefish is to choose fresh cuttlefish, and then take out the ink sac of cuttlefish and pour it into flour to make dough. In this way, the dough is black and shiny, and if it is paired with leeks, the taste will be perfect. Locals like this taste very much, but it really takes some time for foreign diners to get used to it.

2. Fried sea sausage with leek in Jiaodong

Fried sea sausage with leek is a famous seafood dish in Jiaodong, such as Yantai, Qingdao and Weihai. The method is to put the sea sausage in hot water, blanch it, take it out, and control the water to dry for later use. Put the oil in the pot, add all kinds of spices, then add the leek head and stir fry, then add the sea sausage and add the seasoning to eat. The main food of this dish is sea sausage, which is a long cylindrical mollusk, limply crawling, with no burr, light yellow, fat, delicious meat, and rich in protein and various essential amino acids. Since ancient times, it has been used as a valuable seafood in the coastal areas of China, Japan and Korea, and has high economic value. However, the appearance is really disgusting, and I have no appetite at the sight.

3. mullet egg

mullet egg is a very famous Shandong dish, which can be eaten in some big restaurants. In fact, mullet egg is not an egg, but an oviposition gland of cuttlefish. This dish was popular in Shandong as early as the early Qing Dynasty, and it was also very popular in Shandong restaurants in Beijing in the middle of the Qing Dynasty, especially popular with literati at that time. It was a great poet and gourmet during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. When many diners heard that it was made of cuttlefish's oviposition glands, they could only sigh that they had no happiness.

4. raw (choking) swimming crab in Laizhou

raw (choking) swimming crab is a special food in Laizhou, Shandong province. Laizhou people like to eat sea crabs raw, and many foreign diners have not seen them. This pickled raw crab is called raw choking swimming crab by local people. Everyone knows that eating any seafood raw has the risk of disease, but there is nothing wrong with the raw (choking) Portunus after pickling, but many people still dare not eat, especially the smell of pickled seafood.

5. Linyi Slag Tofu

Slag Tofu is produced in local snacks, Linyi District, Shandong Province. It is made of ground soybean milk and leftover bean dregs and other auxiliary materials. Although it is ugly, it still smells like beans. In fact, bean curd residue is rich in cellulose, which can absorb sugar, thus alleviating the body's absorption of excess sugar. In addition, bean curd residue contains a lot of calcium needed by the human body, which is a health food for supplementing calcium and strengthening bones. However, the taste of this local favorite food is really flattering, mainly because of the beany smell.

6. Deep-fried large intestine

Deep-fried large intestine is a traditional Shandong dish. This dish is definitely a dark dish in Shandong cuisine. The pig's large intestine is washed, marinated with various seasonings, and finally fried with a layer of starch. I don't need to say more about its taste. It is estimated that you can smell it through the screen. If the pig's large intestine is marinated, its odor can be removed. This kind of directly fried pig's large intestine always feels a bad smell when eating.

7. Drunken crab in Weishan Lake

Drunken crab is a very famous way to eat crabs. It is said that "if you don't see Lushan Mountain, you will lose your eyes" and "if you don't eat drunk crab, you will lose your stomach". The drunken crab in Weishan Lake in Shandong Province has a history of one hundred years and is a favorite food for local people. The preparation method is also very particular. It is said that there are more than twenty processes, and the pickled drunk crab is lifelike, with white crab meat and yellow crab. However, for foreign diners, it really takes some courage to accept this lifetime of crabs.

8. Weifang Chaotian Pot

Chaotian Pot is a traditional snack in Weifang, Shandong Province. This delicious food was made as early as the Qing Dynasty and has been handed down to this day. Its main ingredients are pig offal, including pig liver, pig heart, pig lung, pig large intestine, etc., just like braised pork in Beijing, which is filled with various kinds of pig water. I don't need to say more, it is estimated that you can also think of the taste of these ingredients colliding together, which is still the same sentence. People who like to eat love this taste, and those who don't like to eat will avoid it.

9. Texan sausage

Texan sausage is a famous snack in Texan, just as famous as braised chicken in Texan. Historical records show that it was eaten as early as the Qing Dynasty. The sausage was poured with sheep blood and starch and boiled in a pot. When eating it, it was cut into small pieces, added with boiled soup, and served with coriander and seasoning. It was delicious, but the mutton chop was delicious.

1. Jiaodonghai cuisine steamed stuffed bun is a unique traditional snack in Jiaodong, Shandong Province, which includes Yantai, Qingdao, Weihai and other places. Locals like to use seaweed and dried shrimp skin as stuffing. The shape of steamed buns is round and dumplings. Locals especially like to eat this kind of steamed buns for breakfast. Seaweed has a unique flavor, but it also has a fishy smell. As foreign diners, many people are not used to this flavor. This may be the charm of snacks.
