Hello!

Recently, an American named "Lazy Foreigner" on Weibo has become popular. Because he works in a Chinese university and loves snacks, he made three videos evaluating Chinese snacks, including braised chicken legs, shrimp crackers, and stinky snacks. Tofu... After trying each snack, you will also be given a rating of 1-5 stars. As soon as the review video came out, it immediately sparked heated discussions among netizens.

10 kinds of Chinese snacks

In these three videos, he introduced 10 kinds of Chinese snacks, from very delicious braised chicken legs and egg yolk pie to barely OK He carefully tasted the green beans, dried fish, and the spicy stinky tofu that was hard to swallow, and commented on them one by one.

There are four types of snacks rated five stars: braised chicken legs, milk tea, egg yolk pie, and meat buns. When reviewing the braised chicken legs, he said that some foreigners would feel disgusted when they see this kind of chicken legs when they come to China, because they look like jelly, but they taste like roast duck and are very delicious.

The Roujiamo also received high praise from him. He explained it as Chinese barbecue, where some vegetables and meat are fried in oil and then sandwiched into pancakes.

Egg yolk pie is a cake sandwiched with custard. It has a soft and delicious texture, with a sweet but not overpowering taste. Milk tea is his favorite Chinese drink, but it is different from what people think of as tea. He calls it a Frappuccino without the coffee flavor.

The spicy stinky tofu was not rated higher

In addition to being the most delicious snack with 5 stars, the sandwich biscuits also received a good rating (4.5 stars), but they tasted a bit dry.

Garlic green beans and dried fish are also good, but what makes him most uncomfortable are shrimp crackers, corn ham sausage and spicy stinky tofu. He only gave the shrimp crackers 1 star. He thought the shrimp smell was very pungent, looked like French fries, tasted like marshmallow strips, had a bad taste, and had a bad texture. The corn ham sausage with the same 1 star doesn't look like ham, nor does it taste like it, it's just a weird mush.

The most difficult food for him to swallow is the spicy stinky tofu that has not been rated as superior. In the video, he smelled it first, made a ferocious look, put it in his mouth several times and took it away again. When it came out, I finally managed to hold it in my mouth but spit it out before finishing it.

Some people say that foreigners have different tastes from us

The review video quickly became popular on the Internet and attracted many netizens to discuss it. Some people said that foreigners have different tastes from us; It is said that everyone has different preferences and cannot be the same.

Yesterday, the reporter also interviewed Taboo, a Botswana doing business in China. He said that when it comes to snacks, different countries do have different tastes. When he first came to China, he was very curious about the local Chinese food. , but after eating it, I didn’t like the staple food very much. I thought the snacks were delicious and there were many varieties. My favorite was plum candy, and I would take some back every time I returned home. Also, the difference is that there is no spicy food in their snacks, usually pepper.

Netizen comments

@Rabbit’s pencil head: Everyone’s taste is really different. I hate drinking that milk tea, and the chicken legs are not delicious at all.

@上海——Uncle: The tastes of foreigners are not the same as ours.

@树MR.tref: The shrimp crackers I’ve loved since I was little are actually not delicious? Stinky tofu, I have never tasted this flavor before. I’ve only eaten dried tofu, but it’s not that exaggerated! At most, you can’t eat spicy food! How smelly is it? Never eaten durian? Ham sausage is really embarrassing, I accept this.

I am happy to answer your question and hope it helps!
