In southern Fujian, there is a local specialty food called "frozen bamboo shoots". Frozen bamboo shoots seem to be closely related to bamboo shoots, but they have nothing to do with bamboo shoots. The scientific name of bamboo shoots is "Starworm", so frozen bamboo shoots are actually a kind of frozen food made of insects.

For Minnan people, frozen bamboo shoots are delicious from snacks to big ones, but for foreigners, it is really unacceptable to let "bugs" chew in their mouths. As a result, foreign tourists came to Minnan, Fujian, and got up the courage to try frozen bamboo shoots. In the end, many people backed out.

Nanjing: live beads

I believe many people are familiar with live beads. Even if they have never eaten them, many people have eaten them. Live beads are a special food in Nanjing, that is, chickens that have not yet formed. Chicken wings, chicken heads and chicken feet have been obviously formed in eggs. There is a saying circulating on the Internet that if you want to test whether a person is an old Nanjing native, just take him to eat live beads.

Nanjing people's love for living beads can be said to be deep into their bones! Living beads have existed in the streets and alleys of Nanjing since the Qing Dynasty. But then again, it is unacceptable for outsiders to tell the truth to live beads. After all, how can you eat a growing chicken?

Ninghua: dry mouse

Since ancient times, rats have occupied a place in the zodiac, but the comments on rats have been very poor. Mainly because rats live in dirty places all the year round and steal crops and food from home. In other words, the mouse is synonymous with "dirty". However, people in Ninghua, Fujian have a soft spot for mice!

You heard me right! Rats can really eat. It's just that the mice they eat are voles, not rats in the ditch. In addition to Ninghua, Fujian and northern Fujian also love to eat dried mice. A plate of shredded white radish fried with dried mice is an appetizer that many people have been thinking about. A kilo of dried mice is expensive, around 60 yuan. Needless to say, it is absolutely impossible for outsiders to eat mice and do things they can't do!

Jiangsu: Dandou

As the saying goes, "As you sow, you reap what you sow", but for people in Guanyun County, Lianyungang, Jiangsu Province, the beans they want to grow are worms that grow on plant leaves. Dandou, also known as bean worm, is a "spicy" caterpillar before mutation. Sounds like goose bumps. No?

Dandou is a special food in Guanyun County, Lianyungang, Jiangsu Province, and it is a specialty that locals are proud of. Dandou, an insect, belongs to pure natural non-toxic insects. The taste is soft and delicate, with bean flavor, which is especially liked by locals. For outsiders, especially the sight of caterpillars is creepy, and there is a rhythm of hiding far away, let alone eating it in your mouth.

Guangning: bamboo worm

Bamboo worm, literally a kind of insect in bamboo, is a special food that Guangning people love to eat. Guangning, known as the "hometown of bamboo", has a wide coverage of bamboo forests, reaching more than 654.38+0 million mu. There are many kinds of bamboo, and the vast bamboo forest breeds a natural food called bamboo worm, which is called "bamboo maggot" by locals.

For us people in northern Fujian, we know that bamboo insects are edible and pollution-free insects, but we don't know how much Guangning people love bamboo insects. Bamboo worms are rich in protein. After frying, it is crispy outside and tender inside, which is quite refreshing. However, outsiders certainly can't accept bamboo worms. After all, few people dare to eat bugs!

Guizhou: Niu Bian

I have heard of beef hot pot, but I have never heard of beef hot pot! It is quite popular in Guizhou. What is "Niu Bian"? In short, it is the grass that has not been fully digested in the cow's stomach. The taste is slightly bitter, accompanied by the taste of "cow dung", which can be said to be a veritable "strange" food. However, it is deeply loved by Guizhou people!

We all know that beef louver is an essential ingredient in hot pot, but Guizhou people prefer beef flat hot pot. To tell the truth, outsiders know that "flat beef" is the food residue in the belly of a cow, or they will not accept anything when they see the making process of flat beef hotpot! I can only stay away from such delicious food.

Liangshan: Paula

As we all know, Sichuanese have a special liking for bacon and sausage, and locals prefer this kind of air-dried bacon that can be preserved for a long time. However, in Liangshan, Sichuan, there is a special kind of food called "Bao Spicy", which is named because of its "peculiar" shape and manufacturing method.

Wax wrapping is to wrap pork belly with pickled and tasty pork, and then smoke the "wax wrapping" with fire. Because the shape of wax coating is quite like a balloon, it has the title of "balloon bacon". In Liangshan, Sichuan, wax coating is a special food for entertaining distinguished guests. It is said that the price of wrapped wax is several times higher than that of ordinary bacon. However, for foreigners, Paula's acceptance is not high.
