the taste of "old Beijing" under the root of the imperial city: bean juice

Bean juice is a unique traditional snack in old Beijing, and it is a drink fermented with mung beans as raw materials.

They all say that they have never drunk bean juice, so they have never been to Beijing. Beijingers like to drink bean juice and regard it as a kind of enjoyment. However, when foreigners drink bean juice for the first time, the smell like swill keeps people out of the door. It tastes strange and hard to swallow after biting their teeth. Some people may fall in love with this taste, just as everyone says, and they are often addicted to it.

The strange taste of bean juice may be hard to take down, and it can be eaten with inby and pickles.

2. Stuffed bamboo shoots

Exploring the global insect feast: Stuffed bamboo shoots frozen on July 8, 2115

Stuffed bamboo shoots frozen is a traditional flavor snack with good color and flavor in Fujian. Although I can't agree with this "color", it may just be my own idea.

frozen bamboo shoots, which sounds like a common name, are thought to be a kind of bamboo shoots. But in fact, the frozen bamboo shoots are frozen products made by this kind of worm (the scientific name is Eisenia deliciosa). After boiling, the colloid contained in the insect body is dissolved in water, and after cooling, it condenses into a block, with clear meat and good taste. When eating, looking at a bowl of glittering and translucent jelly worms, it really takes some courage to swallow.

Although the appearance of frozen bamboo shoots is disgusting, it still attracts a large number of loyal fans with its delicious taste.

3. Hairy eggs

Hairy eggs, also known as live beads, are a famous specialty of Nanjing and belong to Jinling snacks. It is the egg that is about to hatch into a life but not fully formed embryo. There are traces of head, wings and feet in the egg, and it is also a chicken and an egg.

Many people in Nanjing love eating, but many friends from other places find it hard to accept it. Some people will feel sick just looking at it, and certainly will not have the urge to eat. Although the appearance is hard to accept, it is actually very delicious, even comparable to the tenderness of puffer fish.

The above are three unacceptable "local products". Although some of them are not unpalatable, they can't be eaten because of their shape, but the food can't be eaten, which is just an empty name for foreigners. If you love all these three wonderful flavors of food, it is really a "cruel person".
