When it comes to the world's top ingredients, everything that comes to mind seems to be some foreign delicacies, such as Japanese beef, French black truffles, Spanish ham and so on. Anyway, I just can't remember what's in China. Isn't there the world's top ingredients in China?
of course, there are answers, and there are more than one! Let me introduce it to you. This is the top food in China. Only local families can afford it. Just look at it!
First of all, the first species we want to talk about is saury from the Yangtze River. In the past, it was not a rare thing. As long as people living by the river, they have basically caught it and eaten it. Now it is hard to meet it. The change of environment and artificial fishing have led to a sharp decline in its number. This kind of fish has a slender body and looks like it has no meat, but its taste is extremely delicious. The only drawback is that there will be more fishbones. Now it is not easy to eat this stuff. Thousands of bids are priceless, and fishing depends on luck.
Then let's talk about Tibetan fragrant pig, a small black pig that grows on the plateau. Its daily diet is just some wild grass and vegetables, and it also drinks high-quality spring water. It adopts the free-range breeding method, so the pigs have been running all their lives, and the meat quality is particularly excellent. Coupled with the transportation cost, the price is extremely high, so the average person can't bear to eat this thing.
Then I want to talk about mullet roe, a common ingredient in Taiwan Province, which is basically invisible in mainland China. It is made from female mullet, which is eaten in a lot of ways and tastes super excellent, but the price of this thing is indeed a bit high, so it is good for rich people to eat it to satisfy their cravings.
Butter crab is known as the king of crabs, and the species evolved from the molting of female green shell crabs are extremely rare. After this guy is steamed, it will give off a very strong fragrance, and the crab cover is full of crab yellow. The price of the top butter crab is extremely high, and it may cost about two thousand yuan for each one.
finally, Zang Honghao is said to be the most expensive condiment in the world, and its main purpose is to enhance fragrance. As an ordinary dish, you only need to put five or six pieces in it to have a strong enough fragrance. It's not easy to make this thing. After 225, stamens are dried, they only weigh 5g, so the price is insanely high. One kilogram is around 6, dollars, where can ordinary families afford it?
