This is because different regions have different preferences and tastes in food, and their taste buds have different acceptance levels. Therefore, people from the two regions gave different and completely different evaluations of this delicacy cooked by the old lady. So what is so special about this delicacy that has been given such a huge gap? Follow me and look down.

First of all, we all know that each region has its own taste. It may be due to the different living environment and the different acceptance levels of everyone's taste buds. Just as most people in the three northeastern provinces like food with a mixture of salty and spicy flavors, people in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River mostly like food with a moderate taste, light and slightly sweet, and people in the central Yellow River region like food with a mixture of sour and spicy. Therefore, this bucket of delicacies made by the old lady is appreciated by Shandong locals, but outsiders are not lucky enough to enjoy it.

Secondly, this delicacy is simple to make, it is just pickled watermelon sauce. In fact, this food is very common and is available in many regions, but there are some differences in the control of taste. Watermelon jam, as the name suggests, is a finished product based on watermelon and supplemented by various ingredients. Elderly people living in Shandong basically pickle them at home every year. They first peel several large watermelons to leave the pulp, then cut the pulp into pieces and put them into large jars, coating them with thick salt. layer and let the watermelon fully absorb it.

Then, the main ingredients are ready and the ingredients must be complete. Before making watermelon sauce, you need to prepare fermented soybeans in advance. These soybeans have a salty taste. In order to enhance the taste, you need to add two large packets of salt and pepper to these soybeans, and finally mix them into the processed watermelon. , stir thoroughly by hand to ensure that the various ingredients in the jar can be mixed and taste more fully. Then comes the final step of pickling. After the test of time, the watermelon sauce is successful.

Finally, due to the very distinct mix of flavors during the production of watermelon jam, some outsiders are not very receptive to this grandma’s delicacy.
