Are you serious about the food that shocked outsiders? Ok.
1. Ant eggs in cold sauce
This dish is a special food of the Dai nationality, and its preparation method is also very simple. Just find a nest of ants, then take out the nest of ants, put it in water to wash out the baby ants, and then you can start cold sauce. Yes, it is raw cold sauce if it is not cooked.
Wash the natural spices picked in the wild and the red millet spicy, chop them together, squeeze a little lemon juice and add them. According to your personal taste, you can also add other seasonings, mix them well and serve them. This delicious food can't be tasted often.
2. Fried dragonfly larvae
People generally call dragonfly larvae "water grasshoppers", such as the classmates who grew rice in their paddy fields when they were young, remember? A group of friends caught grasshoppers in rice fields to eat rice. After catching them, they roasted them with fire or took them home to fry them, which was crispy and delicious.
The taste of fried dragonfly larvae is similar to that of fried rice grasshoppers. I guess it is because of the taste that dragonfly larvae are called water grasshoppers. Generally, water grasshoppers can be caught in shallow rivers, ponds and small valleys. After catching it, put it in a pot, fry it until golden, pour it into a plate and sprinkle a little salt or Chili powder to serve.
because of the seasonal restriction, this dish is generally not eaten, and it can be eaten once every seven or eight years, because people don't catch it every year, and they can taste it occasionally.
3. Fried wasps
Sometimes I watch TV. In other places outside Yunnan, some residents gather stinging wasps. When residents look scared, they call the 119 fire alarm for help and take the wasps away ...
Every time I see such news, people in Yunnan usually feel very sad, which is really painful, because it is the best delicious food in the world! It's a waste of time!
In other words, one of our father's favorite things to do is to take a look at the hornet's nest every July and August when he asks his old brother to go up the mountain to collect mushrooms or dig delicacies. When I saw it, I went to burn a hornet's nest.
Generally, you go at night, and you need some "technical" experience. You should be prepared to be stung, and there is no danger to your life. Then I prepared to fry wasps at night and get together to drink.
It is a happy thing for Yunnan people to "stir up a hornet's nest". The hornet's nest is rich in protein, and the fried hornet's nest is more fragrant than the "water grasshopper" mentioned earlier. I feel that the status of wasp is similar to the king of food in Yunnan.
one side is soil and one side is water. The old man sometimes looks at the news that "the wasp was taken away from the houses by 119" in other provinces and sighs: Alas, how come we don't have it here! It would be nice if you (wasps) came to Yunnan ...
Actually, you don't have to think about insect dishes so horribly. The few kinds of insect delicacies mentioned above may not be available to foreigners when they come here. Yunnan is a good place, with all kinds of special foods, only a small part of which are mentioned above. For example, flowers can also be used for cooking, and the taste is super awesome!
