There are so many cuisines in the world, but China cuisine is one of the most popular and highly praised cuisines. The popularity of China cuisine has something to do with our food history and culture, including the climate and habits of various places, but there are also some delicious foods that they can't enjoy. So today, let's take a look at some strange foods in China provinces, which some people love and some people hate.
1. Beijing: Bean Juice
Many friends in Beijing must have heard about bean juice. As a representative of old Beijing specialty snacks, many legends about bean juice dissuaded many tourists, but they could not stop many friends from trying it out of curiosity. Bean juice is not the same as soybean milk. Soybean milk is made by grinding, filtering and boiling edible soybeans, while bean juice is made from mung beans through fermentation, so the color of bean juice is light green. Because it is a fermented product, it smells a faint sour smell. The reason why bean juice is unpopular is because of this strange taste. Old Beijingers drink bean juice with inby and small pickles as standard. Soak pickles in bean juice, bite inby with pickles, and finally drink bean juice smoothly. Locals drink it like thieves.
2. Tianjin: Gaba cuisine
Gaba cuisine is made by grinding mung beans and millet into pulp, then spreading it into pancakes, cutting it into small strips and soaking it in marinade, and then sprinkling it with sesame sauce, fermented bean curd and other ingredients. It looks a bit like Hu spicy soup. Locals like it very much, but some southerners are not used to it because there are too many sauces and it is salty to eat.
3. Fujian: Frozen bamboo shoots
In southern Fujian, there is a local specialty food called "Frozen bamboo shoots". Frozen bamboo shoots seem to be closely related to bamboo shoots, but they have nothing to do with bamboo shoots. The scientific name of bamboo shoots is "Starworm", so the frozen bamboo shoots are actually frozen food made of a kind of worm. For Minnan people, the frozen bamboo shoots are delicious from snacks to big ones, but for foreigners, it is really unacceptable for "bugs" to chew in their mouths. Therefore, foreign tourists came to Minnan, Fujian, and got up the courage to try the frozen bamboo shoots. In the end, many people backed out.
