Dehong is a famous land of fish and rice, with pleasant climate, fertile land and abundant food. "mangshi millet mixed rice" is widely circulated. It is said that Gaimi was once a famous "Gong Mi" in history, and its rice quality was crystal clear, and you could smell the fragrance ten miles away. No wonder the emperor wanted to taste it himself.

Instantaneous heating

If there is a "braggart" who dares to say that eating all the peppers in the world will not break his heart, then take him to Dehong and turn him upside down. Dehong's "rinse spicy" can be called the king of spicy. It is said that its spicy taste is twenty or thirty times higher than other peppers. To prepare a dip, you just need to use "rinse spicy".

Rolling in a plate dipped in water will make it very spicy.

Insect food

The Dai, Jingpo and De 'ang people in Dehong not only eat general plant and animal foods, but also retain the early habit of eating insects. Ant eggs, bamboo worms, bee pupae, flower spiders and so on are made into delicious food.

If dried bamboo worm pupa is used as an appetizer, it is the top grade for hospitality. However, the most striking thing was eating a Okumo with yellow and black spots and a yellow net. This spider is as big as a thumb, and children like to catch it best. They roast the spider on the fire, remove its limbs and feet, peel off a layer of skin, and eat it as a dish in glutinous rice or soft rice, which tastes as good as barbecue. In addition, they also dug up a kind of "cow dung worm" pupa called "Qike" in Jingpo language from the crypt. This kind of pupa is very big, usually as thick as two or three thumbs. Wash the white pupa dug out of the crypt and put it in the pot for a while. You can fry eggs with seasoning. This pupa is rich in protein.

Ant egg is a traditional folk food of Dai people. The cold ant eggs are delicious. Sometimes, every ant egg in the dish is as big as a pea and looks like a pork loin. The appearance is white and tender, with a film on the surface, which looks pleasing to the eye and refreshing. Pick one up gently with chopsticks and put it in your mouth for a bite. This egg tastes so delicious that people can't help drooling. Although ant eggs are delicious, they are extremely rare. Edible ant eggs are all laid by rhubarb ants that grow on trees. When climbing trees to get eggs, you have to put up with ant bites. Therefore, among the Dai people, there has been a saying for a long time: "You can't eat ant eggs unless you are strong".

Dai people eat ant eggs, mainly cold dishes. Wash them, blanch them in boiling water, add garlic, salt, vinegar and other seasonings, and add their favorite vegetables to eat.

Both Dai and Jingpo people like bee pupae, but it is difficult to get them. Bee pupae are generally extremely difficult to take, and it is inevitable that they will be bitten when taking bee pupae. However, the delicious bee pupa makes people take risks, and it is still a good drink.
