After a glance at this food map, our Tianjin food is really on the list! Tianjin Mahua and Duliu Vinegar are well-known. Of course, we are not the only ones in Tianjin. Let me introduce you to the most representative food in Tianjin Wei.
first of all, it's the twist and vinegar that we listed in Tianjin this time.
1. Eighteen Street Twist
Guifaxiang's Eighteen Street Twist is a traditional famous point. Tianjin's century-old dough twist shop, together with Goubuli steamed stuffed bun and Erduoyan fried cake, is also known as "Tianjin Three Musts". The big twist is as thick as an arm, and few people buy it except tourists. We Tianjin people like to buy small ones, which are more crispy and have no burden to eat. There are more than ten kinds of flavors such as hawthorn, black sesame, salt and pepper, each of which is very distinctive. Personally, I like salt and pepper best, and the twist tastes like sesame, crisp and delicious. The taste hasn't changed, it's the old taste I ate when I was a child.
2. Duliu Old Vinegar
Duliu Old Vinegar is one of the three famous traditional vinegars in China. It is as famous as Shanxi Aged Vinegar and Zhenjiang Rice Vinegar for more than 3 years, and it is a royal tribute of the Qing Dynasty. I arrived this vinegar from a snack, which is a little lighter than balsamic vinegar and a little sweeter than aged vinegar. It is very weak but palatable. It is the most common way to eat laba vinegar dipped in jiaozi.
After talking about the food on the list, let's take a look at other foods in Tianjin. Compared with the above two, they are not inferior at all, but they have to be fresh and hot, which is not suitable for mailing, so it is not easy to eat authentic food in other places.
3. Pancake fruit
Pancake fruit should be quite famous. After all, it has appeared in "China on the Tip of the Tongue", which also counts as a face in front of the whole country. Pancake fruit is an indispensable part of Tianjin people's breakfast. The noodles of pancake fruit are real mung bean noodles, which have a faint scent. Onions, noodle sauce and chili pepper are all excellent raw materials. The fruit grate is very brittle, and it is folded into three folds, rolled in the dough, spread out hot and eaten in the mouth. That is really a fragrance!
4. Fried cakes with ears and eyes
Tianjin people love fried cakes, and it doesn't matter whether they are fried cakes with ears and eyes, as long as they are fried well. As a local, in fact, I seldom eat fried cakes, mainly because I sell less. When I went to Guwen Street during the Spring Festival this year, I saw a long queue at the door of Erduoyan Fried Cake. Some people ate it at the door of the station after buying it, and I was so greedy that I followed suit. The fried cake was immediately spun, and it must be hot before it tastes good. It's really tender outside! Then the bean paste is not that sweet! Inside the crispy shell is soft sticky glutinous rice noodles, and QQ bombs can also be brushed, not to mention how enjoyable it is.
5. Guoba cuisine
This is a breakfast only available in Tianjin, and it's really hard to eat in other places. We Tianjin people call it "Gaba cuisine". Mix mung bean and millet into paste, spread into pancakes, cut into willow leaves, and add marinade, sesame sauce, fermented milk, chili pepper and coriander. The taste is salty and fresh, and the dried mung bean pancakes are soaked in soup, and the taste is smooth, and the fragrance of sesame sauce and fermented bean curd is strong, which is particularly enjoyable to eat.
In addition to the above mentioned items, Goubuli steamed stuffed bun is especially famous in Tianjin, but there are basically no locals to eat it now, so I won't mention it!
