Fujian people are famous for their food, but there are some delicacies that only locals can accept, and outsiders cannot eat at all. Let me share with you some of these unique Fujian delicacies.
1. Dried rat
Dried rat is a unique food in Ninghua, Fujian. The main ingredient is wild voles. This kind of food has been passed down in Ninghua for hundreds of years. It is still very popular to this day. In autumn, people in Ninghua will find various ways to catch fat voles in the fields. On the one hand, they will eliminate rodent damage to the crops, and on the other hand, they will reserve raw materials for making mouse-dried products. This kind of field mouse is relatively clean because it usually eats grain. Dried mice made from this kind of field mouse are the favorite of Ninghua people. Children regard it as a snack, and adults regard it as a snack. No matter how much Ninghua people love to eat dried mice, I can’t eat it anyway. .
2. Pig blood cake
Pig blood cake is a popular delicacy in southern Fujian and Taiwan. In fact, the taste of this delicacy is not terrible, mainly because of the making process. People can't bear to look at it. When making pig blood cake, first soak the glutinous rice for a period of time, then add fresh, uncoagulated pig blood and stir evenly. This process is very bloody. It is estimated that after outsiders see this process, they will not be able to eat the pig blood cake no matter how delicious it is. . The steamed pig blood cake is fried in a pan and dipped in sweet and spicy sauce. Once you take a bite, it will taste fragrant, crispy, salty, sweet and so on.
3. Chicken fetus
Chicken fetus is actually the egg that is affected by improper temperature, humidity or certain germs during the incubation process, causing the development of the chicken embryo to stop and die. The immature chicks inside the eggshell are called hairy eggs in some places. Because it is already a fully formed embryo, showing the rudimentary form of a chick, and some can even see fine downs and chicken bones, many outsiders cannot accept this delicacy at all.
4. Urine eggs and urine meat
The so-called urine eggs are boiled eggs using the method of boiling tea eggs, but the tea water is replaced by children's urine, so urine eggs are also called It's called a boy's egg. Locals believe that eggs boiled with child urine are a great tonic, so many people like to eat them. The urine meat is also made in this way. You stew the meat according to the normal method, and then pour the urine on the meat. When it is cooked, it becomes the urine meat. Foreigners simply cannot accept the practice of using urine to make food.
5. Jellied bamboo shoots
This thing called bamboo shoots in Fujian is actually a kind of worm, but it is not the sandworm we think of. This kind of bug looks a bit like an earthworm. After catching it, it is cleaned and made into bamboo shoot jelly. It is a special delicacy in many coastal cities in Fujian. However, many outsiders see that it is made from earthworm-like bugs. I don’t have the courage to try it at all, but to be honest, the bamboo shoot jelly tastes pretty good.
6. Sea centipede
Sea centipede is a kind of insect unique to the seaside, and it has been cultivated in large quantities. Since it is called a sea centipede and its shape is similar to a centipede, many people are afraid to eat it at all when they see its appearance. Fujian people like to eat sea centipedes very much. They are often used to make soup, porridge, and fried eggs. They are delicious, soft and moist, and rich in nutrients. No matter what others say about how delicious it is, I can't eat this dish at all, and I don't even dare to move my chopsticks.
The above six delicacies are delicacies in the eyes of Fujian people, and outsiders would dare not eat them even to death. Have you ever tasted these unique delicacies? How do you feel? Everyone is welcome to leave a message to share your feelings.
