I am Liudajun, and today we are going to talk about a Chinese food that makes foreigners "soul tremble" - preserved eggs.
Preserved eggs, also called preserved eggs, are a unique ancient traditional flavor food in my country. As early as the Tang Dynasty, the ancients had already invented this special delicacy.
Preserved eggs are made from duck eggs as the main raw material, plus quicklime, caustic soda, salt, yellow red powder, etc., mixed into a thin mud, then wrapped and pickled.
Look at these raw materials. Except for duck eggs, they are all inedible chemical materials. What is incredible is that these seemingly "dark cuisine" materials have "created" a unique style of food. From this point of view,
I really admire the preserved egg inventor who dared to try this method for the first time.
Preserved eggs are like "coriander", a food that people love and hate. Some people like it very much, but some people can't stand it at all. Especially for foreigners, preserved eggs are simply a "dark dish" to them!
Many years ago, the American CNN's roaming program once conducted a selection of "the weirdest foods in Asia". Surprisingly, Chinese preserved eggs were ranked first, and even Philippine woodworms and Cambodian fried tarantulas were ranked first.

It turns out that foreigners think that they have never seen black eggs. Black and patterned eggs look scary, and they taste very weird and unbearable.
Some foreigners said, "This is simply pickled eggs made by the devil." A foreign media once listed preserved eggs as "the most disgusting food in the world." In some American games, eating preserved eggs is also used as a punishment. I often watch
Some foreign friends posted photos of eating preserved eggs for the first time. Judging from the "painful" expressions, preserved eggs simply make their souls tremble. In fact, the different views on food stem from Chinese and Western food cultures!
Because of the differences in food preparation methods that have been accumulated for a long time, it is understandable that Chinese and Westerners have resistance to some of the other's "exotic" foods. I believe that many friends are also interested in many strange foods when traveling abroad.
Don't bear to swallow it.
