Gansu is one of the birthplaces of farming culture.

The deep loess here breeds many delicious foods.

Delicious beef noodles, smooth stuffed skin, spicy jelly, etc. The main catering feature is the Hui style represented by Lanzhou. The specialty of Gansu cuisine is beef and mutton, which is often roasted, boiled, and stewed. It is simple and unpretentious.

Dishes use less ingredients, favor salty, fresh, sour, spicy, and heavy use of spices, and the taste is rich and fatty.

Northwest specialty food not only inherits the essence of Central Plains food, but is also influenced by the cuisines of Sichuan, Shaanxi and other places. After a hundred years of improvement and development, it has finally become a unique food that is completely different from the snacks of ethnic minorities such as Uygur and Hui.

Let’s take a look at Gansu’s eight strange delicacies. Locals regard them as delicacies, but outsiders are intimidated and unable to taste them.

1. Longxi Golden Pork Longxi Golden Pork, also known as Longxi Butterfly Meat, Qianmeile Pork, is a traditional famous dish in Gansu Province. It has high nutritional value and is famous at home and abroad. It has exquisite material selection, fine workmanship, ruddy and crystal clear color.

It is translucent, rich in gum elasticity, tender, mellow and has a long aftertaste, so it is known as "the best in Longyuan".

Money-rich meat is a famous dish in Long-style banquets and has a history of more than a thousand years.

It got its name because it looks like money.

This dish indicates prosperity and prosperity. In the old days, merchants would have this dish when entertaining guests.

When many foreign diners know what this delicacy is made from, they can only stay away and have no idea how to eat it. The name of the ingredient is a bit inelegant, so I won’t mention it. I can only say that it is an organ from a donkey.

2. Pig viscera noodles Pig viscera noodles are a traditional Han Chinese dish cooked with pig intestines and belong to Gansu cuisine.

It was created by Lanzhou people in the Qing Dynasty. During the Republic of China, the flavor of Xuanjia Lane was the best.

It is very popular because of its exquisite production, soft and delicious aroma, and unique flavor.

The main ingredient is large intestine, which is cleaned and boiled. It is cut into sections and added to the cooked noodles. It is ready to eat with various seasonings. It tastes smooth and smooth, and has a unique flavor.

The locals regard this snack as a delicacy, but for out-of-town diners, many people are not used to the taste of pig intestines. Even after cleaning them, there is a peculiar smell when eating.

3. Fazi Noodles and Intestines are traditional snacks loved by people of all ethnic groups in Linxia City, Gansu Province. Fazi, also known as rafts, are named after their shape, which is similar to the sheepskin raft, a local water transportation vehicle.

Fazi Noodle Sausage is a delicacy that uses fat intestines as the main raw material. The production process of Fazi Noodle Sausage is similar to that of ham. Fazi Noodle Sausage is made from two different materials: haggis and flour, and is packaged externally.

Use fresh sheep intestines to mince fresh sheep heart, sheep lungs, and mutton, mix with green onions, oil, and seasonings, sprinkle with an appropriate amount of flour to make stuffing, put it into the sheep intestines, and steam it over high heat.

Cut into sections and place on plate.

Many out-of-town diners are not used to the smell, and can only lament that they cannot tolerate it.

4. Beef offal, offal, and offal, refer to a spicy, delicious and affordable traditional Hui snack that is generally cooked with beef and sheep offal.

Miscellaneous refers to offal, animals in the water.

Cutting is an action. It is said that this kind of cooked offal is usually cut into soup, and there are many silk-like things such as blood vessels, tripes, intestines, etc., which need to be cut when eating, so it is called offal.

Zagou, also known as Zaggar in the northwest region, is a delicacy that many diners avoid because of its strong taste.

5. Gangu glutinous rice flour is a very old traditional pasta snack. It is also called sour rice in Gangu. Gangu was called Jixian in ancient times.

"Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals" records that King Wen was fond of calamus and pickled cabbage. Confucius heard about it and took it. He ate it for three years and then won.

This shows that sauerkraut has been eaten by people during the reign of King Wen of Zhou Dynasty.

Ancient Ji County is close to Qishan, Shaanxi, where the Zhou Dynasty was founded in the early days. People here like to eat pickled cabbage and glutinous rice noodles. Therefore, the sweet glutinous rice noodles are the continuation and development of the legacy of the Zhou Dynasty. Many diners still cannot accept the taste for the first time and need to slow down.

Slow to adapt.

6. Lazy Pimples Lazy Pimples are a local specialty home-cooked food in Dingxi City, Gansu Province. They are mainly made of noodles (pea noodles or lentil noodles) or oatmeal noodles. They have a unique taste. The bean noodles are rich in fragrance and chewy in the mouth.

Served with sour soup (slurry soup), it is hot and sour and delicious. It is a very delicious home-cooked food in summer.

Legend has it that the daughter-in-law of a family was very lazy and didn't want to cook, so she mixed the steamed noodles and white noodles, cooked them directly in the pot, poured the syrup on them, and immediately took them out to eat. After the husband ate them, he found that they tasted very delicious.

But he couldn't help but smile at his wife's laziness, so he named her Lazy Gupda.

The taste of this snack is like slurry water, with a strong sour taste. Many people need to eat it several times to get used to it.

7. Snow Mountain Camel Palm Snow Mountain Camel Palm, also known as Silk Road Camel Palm, is a traditional delicacy in Gansu. This dish is white from the snow mountains, has a winding silk road, and has rotten camel paw tendons. The meat is crispy and delicious, light yellow in color, crystal clear, and tastes great.

Delicious.

On the ancient Silk Road, camels were the main means of transportation.

It can travel long distances in the Gobi Desert, mainly relying on its four solid camel paws.

Since camel paws are all tendons, they have high nutritional value. However, camels have a long lifespan and are rarely slaughtered, so camel paws are difficult to find and are as valuable as bear paws.

However, many people are still accustomed to eating this delicacy. Once I heard that it is made from camel paws, you can try it if you are brave enough.

8. Jian Shui Jian Shui is a famous traditional dish with a long history in Gansu. According to legend, it began in the late Qin Dynasty.
