As the saying goes, soil and water nourish one side, but there are different eating habits in different parts of our country, so every place has its own special cuisine.
For some people who love traveling or food, when they go to a new place, they all want to taste the local specialties, which is also trip worthwhile.
Most local delicacies are acceptable to many people, and they like to eat them, and even take them back to their relatives and friends. However, there are also very few delicious foods, which are difficult for many foreigners to accept.
Today, I will tell you about six famous local cuisines that many foreigners are afraid to eat. How many have you tried?
The first one is boiled eggs with urine from a boy in Jinhua, Zhejiang.
It is estimated that many people have seen it in some movies, TV shows and literary works, and boy urine can be used as medicine. In Jinhua, Zhejiang Province, there is really such a delicious food, that is, boiled eggs with boy urine.
In the local area, this is a well-known delicacy. Generally, in the spring, many rural families will collect urine from children under 5 years old and then use it to cook eggs. Some families have no children, and they will go to the kindergarten to queue up to pick up the urine.
They are also particular about the urine of children, which must belong to boys under 5 years old, and then put it in a pot for two days and one night. Cooked eggs can't be eaten immediately, so they must be cooled the next day and then baked in the fire before eating. In order to make the eggs more tasty, some people will deliberately break the eggs after they are cooked and continue to cook.
At present, boiled eggs with urine by local children have become an intangible cultural heritage in Dongyang City, Zhejiang Province. Many people will see them sold near scenic spots when they travel there, and the price is several times more expensive than tea eggs. The second kind: moldy amaranth stalks in Zhejiang
Many people have probably eaten moldy tofu, and amaranth is familiar to everyone, but have you ever eaten moldy amaranth stalks? It is a kind of delicious food pickled with the pickles of the elders.
It is said that there is another legend about the moldy amaranth stalk. In that year, Gou Jian, the king of Yue, was defeated and became a slave in the State of Wu. Because of the defeat and famine, the people of Yue had to dig all kinds of wild vegetables to satisfy their hunger.
An old man dug a lot of wild amaranth in the wild, and ate the fresh stems and leaves first, but the rest of the amaranth stems were too old and hard to eat. It was a pity to throw it away, so I put it in a crock and planned to cook it when I didn't eat it.
I remembered it a few days later, but when I took it out, I found that there was a strong "fragrance" in the crock, and it was slippery to the touch.
So the old man steamed it and ate it. Unexpectedly, it was very delicious, and it melted in the mouth. So the locals followed suit and came up with the delicious food of moldy amaranth stalk.
many people like to eat stinky tofu because it smells bad and tastes good. The moldy amaranth stalk used to be the raw material for soaking stinky tofu. It smells stinky and seems to have no appetite, so many foreigners are hard to swallow. Especially when you eat it for the first time, you need enough courage. The third kind: Beijing bean juice
Soymilk is a drink that many people often drink for breakfast. Have you ever drunk Beijing bean juice? A few years ago, I also drifted north for a period of time. At that time, I ordered a cup of Beijing bean juice under the recommendation of my classmates, but I vomited after only one sip.
As a traditional food in Beijing, Beijing bean juice is also very famous, and many local people grew up drinking it. But for the vast number of outsiders, it is difficult to accept it.
According to my classmate, the practice of Beijing bean juice is different from that of soybean milk. It is made by taking out the starch when making vermicelli or dough with water mill mung beans, and fermenting the remaining light green and bluish soup.
It is said that Emperor Qianlong also liked to drink it, and it was also a breakfast drink that the royal family often drank. But for many foreigners, it is difficult to accept its taste.
