I am a resident of old Harbin. Harbin is an ancient city with a perfect blend of Chinese and Russian cultures. Russian-style buildings can be seen everywhere on the streets. You are likely to see Russians when you walk on the central street. There is also a Russian-style town on Sun Island in Harbin, so these foods I want to talk about are all related to Russia.

The first Harbin specialty food is called Russian pickled cucumber.

This kind of pickled cucumber is very common in Russian restaurants. It is a national dish of Russia. It is sweet, sour and delicious, and has a long storage time. It is loved by Russians and Harbin people. Because pickled cucumber can relieve greasy, you will see it in barbecue or soup. Besides the special pickling method of pickled cucumber, the most important thing is that Russian pickled cucumber uses short and chubby cucumber, which is different from the long cucumber you usually buy in the market. This short cucumber has different moisture content.

The second food to be mentioned next is called Harbin Red Sausage, which is purplish red in appearance. Smoked cigarettes are delicious and dry. The origin of sausage is Lithuanian in Eastern Europe, and it was introduced to China via Russia. At that time, foreigners who built the Middle East Railway put red sausage? Sausage was brought into Harbin, and now the businesses that produce sausage regularly mainly include: Harbin Roulian Sausage, Lin Qiu Lidos Sausage, and Shangwei Sausage. Sausage is the representative of Harbin specialty. If you travel to Harbin, you must bring some authentic sausage back.

Sauerkraut is an indispensable thing for old Harbin people every year. Generally, housewives at home will pickle a large jar of sauerkraut and eat it for a year next year. Personally, the best thing to eat is stewed sauerkraut with fragrant pork, which tastes sweet, sour and delicious. If you put some pork with fat meat, the whole dish will taste more fragrant, so sometimes they will stew sauerkraut with pork belly, and people who have eaten it will never forget it!
