As a special snack in Guangxi, snail powder, have you tasted the taste of your hometown in other places?
Snail powder is a special food in Guangxi. As a unified multi-ethnic country, China has obvious regional and national characteristics, which can be seen in people's diets everywhere. Different geographical environments and climates have created unique cuisines in different places, and some places can even be subdivided. I have heard of a foreign friend who seems to have eaten all the delicious food in China in 80 days. However, a month has passed and he has not left Sichuan. I don't know how it is now. But it just shows the diversity of cooking in China.

Nowadays, with the continuous development of transportation technology, the communication between different regions in China has become increasingly close, and the communication between people has also brought about the flow of food. Many local cuisines have begun to follow people out of their hometown and seek survival and development everywhere. Some of them have won the praise of most people because of their excellent taste and unique taste, because they are famous, but some of them can only survive in their hometown because of their unique taste and poor sales. However, there are still some delicious foods. Although the taste is not acceptable to everyone, they can still be developed in other places because they are "topical". Today, this kind of food belongs to the last kind. It is one of the most famous foods in Guangxi, snail powder.

Speaking of snail powder, it can really be said that people who love it like it as much as people who hate it. The contradiction between the two groups is very strong. People who don't like it have a simple evaluation of it, which is one word: smelly. Strangely, people who like it have no such feeling at all, but think it has a unique fragrance. But anyway, I still advise friends who like snail powder not to eat this kind of food in some public places. In some people's eyes, you are similar to a poisoner. But even if you don't like snail powder, I hope you must understand two concepts here. The first type: snail powder "stinks"; Second: Snail powder has no meat.

First of all, snail powder is "smelly"

The "not smelly" here refers to the smell of snail powder, which has nothing to do with noodles, but comes from one of the ingredients of snail powder-sour bamboo shoots. Sour bamboo shoots are a special food of Guangxi people, and the source of food is often closely related to local customs. Because the bamboo shoots in Guangxi are big and the local climate is hot, the bamboo shoots themselves can't be preserved. If they can't be eaten at one time, they are easy to rot and deteriorate. Only by pickling them into sour bamboo shoots can they be easily preserved in fumigation. Over time, sour bamboo shoots have also become the favorite of Guangxi people and become the main ingredient in snail powder.

Second, snail powder has no meat.

The "meat" here refers to snail meat. Many people have seen snail powder, but many people will be surprised that there is no snail meat in the snail powder they usually eat. But in fact, in Guangxi, there is indeed snail meat in the local snail powder. The reason why there is no snail powder in many places is that if it is not in Guangxi, it is difficult to keep snail meat fresh after long-distance transportation, so many foreign snail powder is soup made of snail meat, but there is no snail meat.

So when we say that snail powder stinks, noodles actually feel wronged. It's not me who obviously stinks. Why should I take the blame? Also, authentic snail powder will have snail meat, but it can only be eaten locally in Guangxi.
