As we all know, China not only has a long history and culture, but also has a profound food culture. Being born in China is the greatest happiness for a foodie. Apart from all kinds of cuisines, every region in China has its own local snacks with different tastes. However, some snacks are really unacceptable, such as:
1. Snail powder
There are not many delicious foods that are famous for their "bad smell". Snail powder is one of them, and there are few snail powder shops in other places except here, but there are not a few foreigners who like to eat snail powder, and its taste is also the essence of it.
The taste of snail powder is mainly the smell of sour bamboo shoots in it, which smells bad. But it may be unacceptable for locals in Guangxi to be without powder for a day, and for foreigners who have never eaten it, but it is also recommended to try it.
2. Taro cake
The reason why Taro cake looks ugly is the choice of ingredients. Taro cake is made of glutinous rice, red dates, raisins, kidney beans and other ingredients. It is spread in an ancient container called Taro cake in layers, and finally it is made by steaming. The ratio of ingredients, the size of the heat, depends on the taste, pan cake, glutinous fragrance overflowing, red dates sweet but not greasy, the entrance is strong, but for outsiders who don't know, they may lose their appetite at a glance, but for those who have really eaten, they know the delicious.
3. Hairy eggs
Hairy eggs, also known as king eggs, chicken eggs and hairy eggs, are a special food in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces. There are many ways to eat them, such as steaming, boiling and frying.
If you think the frozen bamboo shoots are acceptable, you certainly can't accept the hairy eggs, because they are so wonderful. Hairy eggs are immature chickens that are affected by various reasons during the incubation process, resulting in the stop of chicken embryo development and death in the eggshell.
as a foreigner, regardless of whether you are used to eating or not, do you feel as scary just looking at pictures as you do?
4. Frozen bamboo shoots
Frozen bamboo shoots is a famous snack in Quanzhou, Fujian, which is fresh, crisp, sweet and delicious. The name of this dish sounds like a vegetarian dish, and the raw material is some kind of "bamboo shoots". Outsiders often appreciate its delicious taste when they first taste it, but after knowing its real raw materials, many people are discouraged.
The raw material for making frozen bamboo shoots is a kind of "earthworms" (scientific name: Eisenia deliciosa) that lives on the beach and looks like earthworms. After all the internal organs of this insect are cleared, the colloid is naturally cooled and solidified into a frozen state in the soup after a long period of boiling, which is also a main reason why it is called the frozen bamboo shoots.
5. West Lake Vinegar Fish
When you arrive in the West Lake, it's natural to try it. In the eyes of local people, its taste should still be quite good, and it is generally light and meets their local tastes, but foreigners who have tasted it probably won't eat it again.
This dish is famous, but after serving, you will find that it is fishy and sour. Even those foreigners who like to eat fish probably have few eating habits.
6. Bean juice in Beijing. Some tourists who have tried bean juice say that just smelling it makes them want to retch, and most people feel like drinking dishcloth water.
