Apart from our motherland, where else can we find the characteristic food culture of 56 ethnic groups?

As a Chinese, I am proud of the food culture of my motherland.

But at the same time, we are all proud of our hometown specialties.

Today we will take stock of 4 local specialties. They may not be unique to this place, but they are irreplaceable famous delicacies.

Let's see if there is your hometown.

1. Gaoyou Shelduck Salted Duck Eggs Mr. Wang Zengqi, a famous writer and native of Gaoyou, Jiangsu, said something cute and arrogant: "I really don't like salted duck eggs from other places."

The arrogant confidence comes from the specialty delicacy of his hometown Gaoyou - salted duck eggs.

What kind of taste can make an old man who has loved food all his life feel like "everything but Wushan is nothing"?

You will know the answer after eating it.

Youxing’s salted duck eggs are made from Gaoyou shelducks, which are raised free-range in the 1,000-acre Youxing shelduck ecological park. The duck eggs they produce are rich in calcium and have a mellower taste.

The master chef pickles it in the traditional way, wrapping it in mud and marinating it with light salt for 48 days. The slow process creates a good taste. The oil yield rate of Youxing Salted Duck Egg is as high as 95%.

Shake it before eating, and you can feel the oil inside the duck egg vibrating before cracking the shell.

The egg white is tasty but not overly salty. The egg white is moist and dense, super fragrant, sandy and waxy.

I often use this salted duck egg to make porridge. It is fragrant and refreshing, nutritious and very satisfying. I have to admit that it is indeed the best salted duck egg I have ever eaten.

I don’t know if people in Gaoyou still like to eat it. Anyway, after eating it, I feel that it does live up to its reputation.
