However, Guizhou is far more than that. Some poets once described it as "a winding boat, a torrent of red leaves and green hills", and the beauty of Guizhou's landscape has been engraved in the depths of the soul.
There are spectacular natural scenery and unique Guizhou cuisine here. For example, Sanyang Kaitai, braised beef and Guizhou spicy chicken are all unique local foods that make people salivate.
But in addition to these, Guizhou people also like to eat some strange dishes, which are ugly to outsiders and even "terrible in appearance, strange in taste and unpalatable", but this does not prevent Guizhou people from enjoying these dishes very much.
Next, let's take a look at the four strange dishes in Guizhou and see if you have eaten them.
No.1: beef flat hotpot
Beef flat hot pot is a special food that people in southeastern Guizhou like to eat. This strange dish is hard for others to imagine, because it is undigested food in the cow's stomach.
The raw materials and materials of beef flat hot pot are to take out the stomach and small intestine of cattle, take out the undigested food inside and squeeze out the juice inside.
Locals usually feed cows some grass and Chinese herbal medicines in advance, so that the beef hot pot they eat will taste like grass. The local people think this is delicious, so they especially like to eat this beef hot pot.
Moreover, a cow is expensive, and you can't eat it if you want. Only when entertaining important guests, will you prepare grass to feed the cows in advance, and then take out the stomach and small intestine inside the cow's stomach and make the squeezed green juice into a flat hot pot for the cows.
This strange dish, in the eyes of outsiders, is a strange dish. I wonder if you would like to try this strange dish?
The second way: fold the ear root.
Crocodile roots, also known as Houttuynia cordata Thunb, like to grow in dark and humid places, while Guizhou is a paradise for crocodile roots because of its numerous mountains and rivers.
Ear root tastes slightly bitter, slightly cold and fishy. Some people may not be used to eating ear roots for the first time, and there will be diarrhea and vomiting. These are all normal.
Guizhou locals like to eat cold ear roots best. It's hot in summer, so eating a plate of cold ear root is a very good product to relieve summer heat and boredom.
Cold-mixed auricularia auricula roots: 1. Prepare a handful of auricularia auricula root, coriander, ginger, garlic and pepper. These ingredients can make auricularia auricula root taste better.
2. Clean the root of the ear and cut it into small pieces for later use. Then cut coriander into slices, garlic into slices, and pepper into Chili rings.
3. Put a spoonful of oil pepper, then pour in soy sauce and vinegar, stir well, add sugar to taste, finally put a few coriander to taste, and finally serve.
The third way: gray vegetables
Grifola frondosa is a very common vegetable in the field. In the countryside, when you walk in the fields, all the lush plants are gray-green.
Grifola frondosa has the function of clearing away heat and toxic materials.
However, this dish has one disadvantage, that is, it can't be exposed to the sun after eating, because the photosynthesis of gray vegetables is very strong, and if it is exposed to the sun after eating, it may "swell".
It's summer and it's hot. It's better to eat this dish at night.

The fourth way: nettles
Nettles are very common in Guizhou. At first, people didn't eat this weed, not even animals and plants, not even insects. It is such a strange dish that everyone doesn't like, and Guizhou people put it on the table.
This kind of wild vegetable was rejected because it was covered with many small thorns, and it would hurt for a long time if it was not careful, which really made people have nowhere to talk.
But now the local people have come up with some good ideas, that is, stir-fry this wild vegetable, and there will be barbecues in the night market. In short, now that all kinds of tricks are available, they can be served on the table, and they are enjoying themselves.
These are the four strange dishes in Guizhou. How much did you eat? In fact, there are many strange dishes in Guizhou, such as roast chicken ass, sheep dung hot pot, fried buns with sauerkraut, chicken jiaozi, stinky acid, shrimp acid, red acid, white acid and raw meat, which are all unheard of.
