There are quite a lot of food with strong flavors in Fujian. For example, dried rat is very expensive. Farmers buy it for more than 100 pounds, which is much more expensive than beef. When I was studying in Quanzhou, I ate bamboo shoot jelly and blood oranges. Sea centipede was in Ningde.

To be honest, apart from the blood oranges, I can’t stand the food. The rest are really delicious. The dried rats are not the rats in the sewers as you think, but the voles in the mountains that eat crops.

The common method we use here is to make rat wax after smoking. It was my favorite when I was a kid. I can’t see it anymore. I can’t get enough of mud snails. It’s also a dish in Fujian, but it’s not considered a heavy taste, because there are so many of them.

People everywhere have the habit of eating mud snails. I have eaten dried rats, bamboo shoots and frozen chicken fetuses. Dried rats are a specialty of our area. They cost tens of dollars per pound. Sometimes rich people don’t sell them.

Jinjiang is famous for its frozen bamboo shoots. I spent more than ten yuan a day eating it in Jinjiang. The small one is 3 yuan, and the big one is 5 yuan. It is delicious with minced garlic and vinegar. Dried rat is my favorite since I was a snack.

A dish!

My hometown in college brought some fried rabbit meat for my roommates to eat, and the group ate it until there was no scraps left!

I will take them with me next time I go back to my hometown. There are so many voles and mountain rats in autumn and winter!

My favorite thing to eat is rat stir-fried white radish.

The first one is "urine egg" and "urine meat". As the name suggests, this food is eggs and meat stewed with urine. In Yongchun County, Fujian, urine egg and urine meat were included in the Yongchun County Intangible Cultural Heritage List. This

In the eyes of outsiders, it is definitely dark cuisine.

But among the locals, seriousness is a kind of delicacy, and it is very particular. Not all urine will do. The urine for stewed eggs and meat must be child urine. If you make a lot of it, you have to go to the kindergarten to collect it. We know that child urine can be used.

It can ward off evil spirits, but I didn’t know it had this effect.

It is said that the egg center of the urine egg has a bit of sweetness, and the urine meat is very fragrant, tender, and very delicious. I just need to look at this, but not taste it.

The second one is drunken mud snails. This dish actually has some similarities with drunken shrimps and drunken crabs, that is, they are basically eaten raw. Drunken crabs are also divided into cooked drunken crabs and raw drunken crabs. Drunken mud snails are really

Eat raw.

The main method of making drunken mud snails is to marinate the mud snails with salt, rice wine and some spices. Although this method has a unique flavor, I personally think it is not healthy.

Because the mud snail itself contains bacteria, it cannot effectively kill those bacteria without heating. Eating it may have an impact on human health. I don’t dare to eat it anyway.

The third one is Liuxugan. Liuxu is actually an annelid. Its scientific name is Nereis chinensis. It is generally called a grass worm in Guangdong. It does not look very good. It has a soft body and red and green stripes.

You can cook it by drying it, but it is densely packed, so not everyone can tolerate it, but it is rich in protein, and the yield is not very large, and the price is relatively high. Sometimes you may not be able to eat it if you want to.

In addition to the above three, there are also mango dipped in soy sauce, dried rat, sea centipede, chicken fetus, bamboo shoot jelly, etc. These are not introduced in detail. Interested friends can check it out online.

Although I'm from Guangxi, I don't dare to eat any of the above except dried rats, dried oysters and mango dipped in soy sauce. Friends from other provinces must try it if they have the chance to go to Fujian, but Cantonese people should not go.

Because Fujian people are afraid.

I have been in Xiamen for a while, and I personally disagree with what the questioner said about "many heavy-flavored foods."

Although the food in Fujian has the characteristics of Lingnan, you can eat it if you dare to eat it, but there are not many heavy-flavored foods. What I have personally eaten and been exposed to, I feel that there are some unusual ones, such as the following.

Usually when we eat octopus, it is boiled and dipped in sauce, which is not considered a strong taste.

However, in some restaurants, you can also eat a special kind of food - eating octopus alive.

There are also some restaurants that are a little less aggressive and just eat octopus legs raw, but they are still pretty scary.

The octopus is a very flexible creature, and even if it has only one leg, it will squirm and feel like it is alive. As for the taste, it is indeed good, but the look and feel of the dish itself is indeed a bit heavy.

Xiamen's bamboo shoot jelly is a very special local snack, but judging from my experience in receiving guests, many people don't dare to eat it.

Of course, most people who have eaten it think it is delicious, but I specially found a picture that can better show the details.

The visual impression of this creature is not good. It looks like a bug. It feels disgusting and cannot be eaten, so it should be considered a heavy taste.

What is this creature?

Most people in Fujian call this a strange fish, but its scientific name is actually "horseshoe crab".

It can also be regarded as a living fossil in the biological world, and it is an important characteristic creature for evaluating marine ecology. Its blood is blue, which is very strange.

It is a nationally protected animal and should not be eaten. However, in some restaurants on the seaside, it is difficult for regulatory authorities to cover it.

To be honest, the taste is not good, and if it weren't for the gimmick, it wouldn't be worth eating.

Of course, if you are lucky enough to encounter it and want to indulge in this addiction, be sure not to eat too much. After all, this stuff is not normal food and can easily lead to poisoning.

Finally, the next favorite Fujian "heavy flavor" delicacy is dried rat.

Among the various foods in Fujian, I personally think this is the most flavorful. I still dare not take the initiative to eat it, but I just ate it by mistake once.
