China is vast in territory and abundant in natural resources. There are different landscapes in the southeast and northwest, and different dietary customs have been created. Each place has its own special snacks. Many local people like delicious food very much, but foreign tourists often can't swallow it after tasting it. I wonder if you have such an experience during your trip?
When it comes to the most unacceptable snack for tourists in Beijing, many people say it is "bean juice", but because of its "notoriety", few tourists actually try it now, and local young people don't like it very much. However, it is "fried liver". Many people will misunderstand it as a stir-fried dish because of its name, but tourists are often surprised when it is served. Fried liver was invented by Huixianju, which was opened in the first year of Tongzhi in Qing Dynasty (AD 1862). On the basis of the original "white soup chop suey", the heart and lungs were removed and thickened, thus forming fried liver that has been passed down to this day. After serving, it looks "dark", and the taste is sticky and unspeakable.
Frozen bamboo shoots are very popular in many places in Fujian, especially in Xiazhangquan area. Its main raw material is a kind of "worm", whose scientific name is Coriaria deliciosa, which has the dietotherapy effect of nourishing yin, tonifying yang and removing fire, and is known as animal ginseng. Most of the frozen bamboo shoots can still see insects, so many tourists are afraid to eat them. In fact, they taste crisp and cool, and they are best eaten in summer.
Many tourists come to Jinan, the capital of Shandong Province, to enjoy the wonder of spring water, and also want to try a local breakfast called "Sweet Foam", which is a kind of salty porridge. After the porridge is made, the host will ask "What's more", which means adding auxiliary materials such as vermicelli, vegetables and shredded tofu. Later, people homophonic it as "Sweet Foam", so the taste of sweet foam is salty. The two eccentrics in Quancheng: tea soup is not tea, and rice fragrance is better than tea; Sweet foam is not sweet, only after reading five flavors can it be sweet.
