Due to the different historical origins between us and the West, many dietary habits are very different. Although globalization has become relatively complete, many dietary habits are still difficult to accept.
1. Blue cheese? Highly moldy and fermented Blue Cheese. Up to 80% of Chinese people will not touch this stuff, and half of the remaining 20% ??are curious to try it because they don’t know it beforehand.
What is intriguing is that among the compatriots who 80% will not touch it, there will be some people who highly praise it and instigate others to try it, as if they are not Chinese who have been abroad if they have never tasted it, even though they have never touched it themselves.
Within ten steps of this blue cheese, you can feel a strange stench on the tip of your nose that makes you vomit, like a resident student's socks that haven't been washed for a month and are smeared with a layer of rotten feces.
Remember, first-timers cannot swallow it in lump form unless you really want to experience the pleasure of self-abuse, because even if you cut it into smaller pieces, the rich flavor will float down your throat and into your nasal cavity, and you can eat it by pinching your nose.
Useless.
In normal supermarkets, blue cheese is usually the highlight of the dairy product section and is sold at a premium.
To be honest, blue cheese is also loved or hated by foreigners. In fact, the amount of blue cheese eaten is not large.
2. Goat cheese. From appetizers, to main dishes, to appetizers, there are many Western foods that use goat cheese. It seems that this thing is very popular in today’s cooking world. Some high-end restaurants will put goat cheese in it if they don’t agree with each other. There are also recipes online.
Feta cheese is often used, and many contestants on cooking competition shows also use feta cheese. It seems that if you don't use feta cheese, you are not a qualified cook, such as: olive mashed potatoes with feta cheese, pitted olives wrapped in feta cheese, etc.
Goat cheese has a very strong smell of sheep, which is not acceptable to most people.
3. Mamai Sauce? The moment you open the lid of Mamai Sauce, you will smell something like black pepper and black bean sauce, which doesn’t seem very strange.
Dip a little on chopsticks and put it on the tip of your tongue.
At first, it did taste like tempeh, and then, less than half a second later, a salty and bitter taste spread on the tongue, as if a lot of salt had been added to the Chinese medicine.
By the end, the salty taste disappeared, and only the bitter taste was felt, mixed with some spiciness and astringency.
After eating mamai sauce, you can understand some British philosophies about food taste, and you can also roughly guess why there are many dark dishes in the UK.
I often watch some British food programs. The judges think that the best taste is the one that can change endlessly in the mouth. From the first entrance, to chewing, to swallowing, each stage can bring excitement to your taste buds.
Different experiences will leave you with a sense of surprise.
