When it comes to Yunnan, the first thing that comes to mind is the local green mountains and green waters.

There are Old Town of Lijiang, Dali, Erhai Lake and so on, which makes people think.

But Yunnan is not only famous for these scenic spots, but also for local specialties, such as rice noodles crossing the bridge, Xuanwei ham, steamed chicken and so on. Among these cuisines, there are some other cuisines that are hard to understand, but they are all loved by local people, and foreigners shake their heads when they see them. Look at the "six strange dishes" in Yunnan. Have you eaten them?

cow dung hot pot

When it comes to hot pot, everyone's first reaction is almost Sichuan hot pot, which is spicy and delicious, making people drool. But the hot pot in Yunnan is different. It is made of "cow dung", which is really hard to understand.

Cow dung chafing dish is also called beef flat chafing dish. The local people use the undigested grass juice residue in the cow's stomach as raw material, put it in a pot, and add spices to enhance the color and fragrance. Although it is inevitable that there will be a smell of cow dung in the cow flat, foreigners will be discouraged to see it, but the locals like the high nutritional value of the cow flat hot pot and love the unique herbal fragrance as a table food.

Blood Tofu

Tofu is a common delicacy on our table, which is soft and delicious, full of bean fragrance, and it is made in various ways. But have you heard of the unique "blood tofu" in Yunnan?

In Yunnan, people will prepare ordinary tofu, then put pig blood or chicken blood into the prepared tofu, stir it evenly, add appropriate spices to taste it, knead it into balls or directly dry it in the sun, and fry it directly when eating it. It is said that it has a strong meat flavor and is a famous local side dish. This looks like the blood tofu of blood steamed bread in Lu Xun's novels. Do you think it will be delicious?

Fried Spiders

Yunnan is located in the south of China, which is mountainous and watery, and spiders can be seen everywhere. Everyone usually sees that spiders are expected to stay away, but in the menu of Yunnan people, spiders are included.

Don't be afraid, all fried spiders use edible spiders. When cooking, boil the oil, add the pepper and garlic to smell, fry the spider for a few minutes, then take it out, sprinkle with salt and cumin, and bite it into your mouth, and it tastes like chicken. But my scalp is numb. Do you dare to eat this strange dish that fried spiders?

mushroom chafing dish

The people in Yunnan can be said to have used the ingredients to the extreme. Mushrooms are familiar to everyone, but why is mushroom hot pot a strange dish to outsiders?

It turns out that in Yunnan, although there are many kinds of mushrooms, most of them contain toxins, and many people in Yunnan will be admitted to the hospital because of eating poisonous mushrooms by mistake. Although this can't stop Yunnan people's love for mushroom hot pot, mushroom hot pot can present the delicious mushroom fragrance of Yunnan mushrooms and has a unique flavor. Do you want to try this hot pot with "risk"?

cold queen ant eggs

In Yunnan, there is a special kind of yellow ant, which is extremely aggressive, but its ant eggs are used by Yunnan locals to make food. Outsider: Is this edible?

Ants' eggs are also very precious in the local area, and the eggs of queen yellow ants are used. Ant eggs are very simple. You only need a simple cold salad to make a delicious dish. When you eat them, they are Explosicum and have a strong flavor of formic acid. Although the ants' eggs are small, they contain a lot of protein, which the local people like to eat, and can keep fit. Is this sour and refreshing taste of Explosicum acceptable to everyone?

stinky vegetable

stinky vegetable, this name sounds very strange. Most people don't want to eat this kind of vegetable after hearing this name, but another name of stinky vegetable is very nice, called Acacia pinnata.

stinky vegetable is a very common wild vegetable in Yunnan. It is said that stinky vegetable has a strong odor, which is worse than stinky tofu and durian that we are familiar with. There are many ethnic minorities in Yunnan, and many people like the smell of this stinky dish, which is often used as ingredients for cooking or soup. They have a special liking for the unique taste of stinky dishes, but foreigners can't accept it just by smelling the taste. I don't know if friends with heavy tastes want to try it.
