Fenghuang bean jelly

Bean jelly is a snack suitable for summer, which is appetizing and refreshing. In Xiangxi minority areas of Hunan, including Fenghuang and other places, people here like to eat bean jelly, which has a long history in the local area and is one of the most distinctive snacks here. Phoenix's bean jelly is different from other places. Its shape is similar to jelly, its taste is softer than jelly, crystal clear and water-like. Generally, it can be eaten after adding brown sugar water. The price is not expensive either. A small bowl costs 5 cents, and a large bowl of 1 yuan is sweet, sour, slippery and cold.

Baba with sugar and oil

There is an economical and delicious traditional food in Changsha, that is Baba with sugar and oil. Baba with sugar and oil is a long traditional snack with sand, mainly made of glutinous rice, which is sweet, waxy and soft, crisp outside and tender inside, and can be eaten everywhere. When I was a child, some people used sugar and oil Baba as breakfast. Although it was fried in an oil pan and wrapped in syrup, it was not greasy to eat. The more famous ones are the sugar and oil Baba in Li Gong Temple and the Palace of Fire.

salted duck

The salted duck in Hunan is very distinctive. Although the duckling is lean, it weighs at most one catty on the scale. Its meat is dry but not tough, and its taste is salty and fresh, with a little spicy. The most delicious part of the salted duck is the duck neck. The salted duck is usually boiled with Chinese herbal medicines, spices and marinades, and then dried and baked. Fortunately, the salted duck can be packed and taken away! Therefore, tourists who have eaten delicious salted duck can buy a few to go home, and there is no need to keep thinking that they can't eat them when they leave Changsha.
