I have been to Quanzhou many times, but only two cold dishes left a deep impression on me: the most disgusting sea bamboo shoot jelly. This snack was seen on the streets of Quanzhou twenty years ago. An ivory-colored bug that looks like a bamboo shoot is solidified in a perfectly transparent jelly the size of a small teacup. I asked the seller, is it delicious? "We locals like to eat something. You should also buy one and try it!" It was only two or three yuan a pound, so I ate one with anxiety... It was so fresh and tasted so good that I wanted to eat it, so I ate another. weight, and remembered its name - sea bamboo shoots jelly. Another time I went to a restaurant to eat and ordered a "cold sting head" for nearly fifty yuan. We locals in Qingdao are most particular about eating cold sting skins. The jellyfish heads have always been regarded as scraps. I didn’t expect that the sting heads are so expensive. I was muttering in my heart that the cold dishes were served and the quantity was not much... Taste After a while, I realized that the crispiness of this jellyfish was different from the jellyfish we eat at home. It was something I had never eaten before. From then on, my bad impression of jellyfish was overturned... After some time, I realized that we usually eat jellyfish. The most common jellyfish are sand jellyfish. Their output is large and their taste is poor. And the high-quality Mianzheng is bought at a high price by restaurants in the south... Yes, the price in Quanzhou makes me feel sick.
In fact, there is another delicacy in the coastal area of ??Qingdao - sea worm, whose scientific name is "Nereis". It's also delicious when used to scramble eggs. It's very delicious.
In the past, it was used as bait for fishing. If this kind of thing is used to make lugworm jelly, it will definitely not be inferior to sea bamboo shoots, but it requires more courage to eat it... We lack more than the vision and spirit of exploration when it comes to delicious food than the Quanzhou people. , and more importantly - courage!
