Traveling abroad, in addition to enjoying the beautiful scenery, of course, it is indispensable to taste local food.

It has the effects of nourishing yin, reducing fire, stopping bleeding and treating blood stasis. I don't know if you can eat this traditional snack with "taste" and salty taste.

5. Jiangsu Hai 'an "Fried Granulation"

The so-called "granulation" is not real meat, it is the larva of a fly, the wriggling white fat worm! This jaw-dropping dark dish is euphemistically called "surging spring tide" by Hai 'an people. In fact, Li Shizhen called maggots "Luo Xian" in Compendium of Materia Medica, and Cao Xueqin also called maggots "meat bamboo shoots" in A Dream of Red Mansions, which shows that maggots are edible, but people just can't cross this psychological barrier. The maggots used for cooking in Hai 'an are fed with bran, brown sugar and milk powder in a closed maggot room, which is not only clean and hygienic, but also delicious and safe to eat.
