Fujian: Frozen bamboo shoots

In southern Fujian, there is a local specialty food called "Frozen bamboo shoots". Frozen bamboo shoots seem to be closely related to bamboo shoots, but they have nothing to do with bamboo shoots. The scientific name of bamboo shoots is "Starworm", so the frozen bamboo shoots are actually frozen food made of a kind of worm.

For Minnan people, the frozen bamboo shoots are delicious from snacks to big ones, but for foreigners, it is really unacceptable for "bugs" to chew in their mouths. Therefore, foreign tourists came to Minnan, Fujian, and got up the courage to try the frozen bamboo shoots. In the end, many people backed out.

Nanjing: live beads

I believe many people are familiar with live beads. Even if they haven't eaten them, many people have eaten them. Live beads are a specialty food in Nanjing, that is, chickens that have not yet formed. Chicken wings, chicken heads and chicken feet have been clearly formed in eggs. There is a saying circulating on the Internet that if you want to test whether a person is an old Nanjing native, just take him to eat live beads.

Nanjing people's love for live beads can be said to be deep in their bones! Living beads have existed in the streets and alleys of Nanjing since the Qing Dynasty. But then again, it is unacceptable for outsiders to tell the truth about live beads. After all, how can you eat a chicken that is gradually taking shape?

ninghua: dried mice

Since ancient times, rats have occupied a place in the Chinese zodiac, and the comments on rats have been very poor. Mainly because rats live in dirty places all the year round, and they also steal crops and food at home. In other words, the mouse is synonymous with the word "dirty". However, people in Ninghua, Fujian have a soft spot for mice!

you heard me right! Rats can really eat. It's just that the rats they eat are voles, not rats in the ditch. In addition to Ninghua, Fujian northern Fujian is also very fond of dried mice. A plate of fried dried mice with shredded white radish is a kind of appetizer that many people have been thinking about. A kilo of dried mice costs a lot, which is around 61 yuan. Needless to say, it is absolutely impossible for outsiders to eat mice and do things they can't do!

Jiangsu: Dan dou

As the saying goes, "As you sow, you reap what you sow", but for people in Guanyun County, Lianyungang, Jiangsu Province, what they want to grow beans is worms that grow on the leaves of plants. Dandou, also known as bean worm, is the "spicy" caterpillar before the mutation. Sounds like goose bumps. No?

Dandou is a special food in Guanyun County, Lianyungang, Jiangsu Province, and it is a special product that locals are proud of. Dandou, a kind of insect, belongs to pure natural non-toxic insects. It tastes soft and delicate, and has a bean flavor, which is especially liked by locals. For outsiders, especially those who are creepy at the sight of caterpillars, there is a rhythm of hiding as far as possible, not to mention eating it in their mouths.

Guangning: Bamboo Bug

Bamboo Bug, as you can know from the literal understanding, is a kind of special food that Guangning people love. Guangning, known as the "hometown of bamboo", has a wide coverage of bamboo forests, up to more than 1 million mu. There are many kinds of bamboo, and the vast bamboo forests breed a natural food called bamboo worms, which the locals call "bamboo maggots".
