For those who grew up in rural areas, this place will definitely bring back memories of your childhood. Because I grew up in the countryside of Guangxi, today I will mainly talk about those delicious foods in our rural areas in the past. They are mainly divided into two categories. One is wild vegetables and fruits, which are vegetarian, and the other is game, which is vegetarian. Meat.

Let’s talk about the first type first, wild vegetables and wild fruits.

1. Bracken, bracken is mainly divided into mountain bracken and water fern by the river. When I was a kid, I often made appointments with my friends to go to the mountains to pick bracken. It not only added to the fun of childhood, but also saved money on buying vegetables. In addition, when I went up the mountain to chop firewood, I would come back with a handful of bracken when I saw it, and use boiling water. Blanch it and dry it and it can be stored for a long time. In addition, it can also be pickled and made into sour bracken. Of course, it can also be fried freshly. Water bracken is found by our river. When I go fishing by the river, I will pick a handful and fry them for meat. Water bracken is usually eaten fresh. Bracken has a slightly bitter taste when eaten fresh, but it loses its bitterness when dried. Stir-fried bacon with bracken is my favorite.

2. Viburnum. Many people may not know what viburnum is. You will know it by looking at the picture. This wild fruit is called "Dong Bianxuan" in our local dialect. When I was a child, I didn't have much fruit to eat. On the mountain There are a lot of this wild fruit, which is sour and sweet when ripe. I grab a handful and put it in my mouth and eat it without washing it. This wild fruit is not only edible, but can also be used for medicine and wine making. It is also very beautiful when red and can be used as an ornamental plant.

3. Prickly pear, which we call "sand candy", looks like a pear, but like a hedgehog, it is covered with thorns. We have a lot of this wild fruit on the roadside. When I was a kid, I would pick it and grind off the thorns, then break it open and remove the hairs and seeds inside, put it in my mouth and chew it. It has a sweet taste, but it is troublesome to eat. But as a kid, even if it is troublesome, I still enjoy it. This fruit You can also use it to make wine.

The next is game and meat dishes.

1. Wood-boring insects, this is something I used to like very much. It is very fragrant when fried, and tastes crunchy and pink. It is very delicious, but the appearance is not very good, it is just a Some people may not dare to eat big white bugs, but they are high in protein and very nutritious.

2. Grasshoppers. Whenever the rice is harvested, we will go to the fields to catch grasshoppers. At this time, the grasshoppers are the fattest and most delicious. Take a Coke bottle and it will not take long. It took only a short time to catch half a bottle. I left it for a night when I went back to let it drain out the excrement. Then I removed the wings and grasshopper legs, washed them and fried them. It was very crispy.

3. Snakes, river crabs, river shrimps, and loaches are all the game that I loved to eat when I was a child. In the spring, when I was plowing the fields, I went to the fields to catch loaches, went to the creek to dig crabs, and went to the fields to find them. Snakes, if you want to eat snake meat, you can't eat it at home. You have to take a pot to eat it outside. It's like a picnic. Buy a pack of instant noodles and cook them together. The taste is really unforgettable. There are also fish by the river. When I was a child, I took a little salt and fishing tools and went to the river to catch fish. After catching the fish, I would go directly to the shore and grill it and eat it. There was no other seasoning, just salt, but it felt very special. delicious.

There are too many childhood delicacies to recall, so I won’t list them all here. I wonder if any of you have tasted the ones I mentioned, or share your own childhood delicacies.
