China people are real foodies. In their eyes, nothing is inedible, and they often have the ability to make these wonderful foods very delicious. In the eyes of foreigners, China people often can't accept these wonderful foods.
China people especially like to eat stinky tofu, which smells ugly and tastes really delicious. Stinky tofu is a specialty of Shaoxing. Many China people come to Shaoxing to eat stinky tofu. In the eyes of foreigners, stinky tofu is simply hard to swallow. They want to vomit when they smell such stinky food, let alone eat it.
Pig brain has always been welcomed by people in China, especially in Sichuan. Roasted brain flower is a famous snack. Pig brain is wrapped in tin foil, put with garlic paste, and heated by fire, which is simply delicious. Pig brain can also be used to rinse hot pot. Some time ago, I went to eat a famous Chongqing hot pot. Their specialty is to rinse pig brain. Foreigners especially hate eating the brains of these animals, and they feel very sick when they look at them.
There is a dish called live ovules, which southerners especially like to eat. The so-called live ovules are eggs that have not hatched into chickens and ducklings. It is said that this kind of food has very high nutritional value, and some older people especially like to eat it, several at a time. Live ovules have always been the specialty in the supper stall, a bowl of old wine and a few live ovules. This life is simply beautiful.
There is also a dish called Bullfrog Man. China people have a special liking for bullfrogs, but they are still pests abroad. For a time, American bullfrogs flooded, and government departments had to kill them forcibly, but China was in short supply.
China is vast in territory and abundant in natural resources. There are various ways of frying, stewing and cooking, and all kinds of food are eaten. Compared with the viscera that China people like to eat very much, foreigners don't eat it. There is a program that I especially like to watch, that is, Hell's Kitchen. Once a team lost a game, and then their punishment was to slow down a plate of chicken feet. When they realized it, they hated chicken feet very much, and some people even vomited when they took the first bite, but we China people prefer chicken feet. Take me for example, I prefer cold chicken feet. Go to the food market regularly to buy cold chicken feet and come back to eat.
Preserved eggs are also food that foreigners can't stand and it's hard to eat. But we people in China really love food, not only cold cooking, but also preserved eggs in midnight snack occupy an important position. Preserved eggs originated in Yiyang, Hunan Province, with a history of more than 500 years. In addition, preserved eggs have certain effects and are more popular in our country.
It's early winter recently, and it's dusty when I go to work every day. At this time, I need to eat some pig blood soup to clear my lungs. Pig blood is not only easy to be absorbed and digested by the human body because of its high iron content, but also cheap. Five yuan is enough for a family. Therefore, we China people often see pig blood at the dinner table, and clearing lung heat is cheap. But we China people like to eat pig blood, but foreigners don't eat it. They think it is abandoned by God.
We in China still have many delicious ingredients that foreigners will not use for cooking. I hope foreigners will come to China more often to taste the wonderful food that we in China love.
First of all, the first one is "a thousand-year-old egg", which is actually not a thousand-year-old egg. It is because the preserved egg looks like it has been kept for a thousand years that foreigners are afraid to eat it. Maybe some people in China have been eating preserved eggs since childhood, and they don't think much of the black egg white with a belt. But for foreigners who have never heard of and never seen black eggs, this food is really unbearable for them. Many foreigners say that they dare not eat this food.
In addition, there is stinky tofu that scares foreigners. Although we China people all know that stinky tofu smells bad and tastes particularly fragrant, for them, the taste is really unacceptable. When watching some videos to let foreigners taste the smell of stinky tofu, they all think that the taste is a little abnormal, and then they are surprised that there will be such food in China, but I personally have to say something for stinky tofu. Stinky tofu is really delicious!
I believe that when foreigners come to China for a long time, they will gradually accept our China people's eating habits and fall in love with our delicious food.
