When you hear “specialty”, do you think it looks good, tastes good, and is nutritious? That’s right, most of the specialties have both great looks and great taste. But there is always a small part that is unsatisfactory, such as those souvenirs that look weird, look uncomfortable, and taste unpalatable.

Each city has its own special delicacies, its own local specialties, and various food business cards exported to the outside world. Every time I travel to a strange city, I always ask about the city’s local specialties, and look for suitable local specialties to bring back to my family, relatives, friends, and colleagues to eat.

These so-called "local specialties" have a very high status in the hearts of local people. As the saying goes, “A place with water and soil can support a people.” Of course, local products are no exception. A region produces special products, and they are deeply loved by local people.

Here are three kinds of delicacies that are popular among locals but difficult for outsiders to accept and even a bit disgusting. Come and take a look at these three kinds of delicacies. Are there any delicacies you are familiar with?

1. Bean juice

Bean juice is a unique traditional snack in old Beijing. It is a drink produced by fermentation of mung beans.

It is said that if you have never drank bean juice, you have not been to Beijing. Beijingers like to drink soy juice and regard it as a kind of enjoyment. But when outsiders drink bean juice for the first time, the smell like swill keeps them away. They grit their teeth and take a sip. The taste is strange and difficult to swallow. If you insist on drinking a bowl, some people may fall in love with the taste, like Everyone says that drinking it often makes you addicted.

The strange taste of bean juice may be difficult to drink alone. It can be eaten with coke rings and pickles.

2. Jellied bamboo shoots

Jellied bamboo shoots are a traditional snack in Fujian that is delicious in color, flavor and flavor. Although this "color" is somewhat unacceptable, it may just be my own opinion.

The name of Jellied Bamboo Bamboo Shoots sounds quite ordinary, so I thought it was just a kind of bamboo shoots. But in fact, bamboo shoot jelly is a frozen product made from this kind of worm (scientific name: Lepidoptera coli). After boiling, the colloid contained in the insect body dissolves in the water and condenses into blocks after cooling. The meat is clear, chewy and delicious. When eating, looking at a bowl of insects frozen in crystal clear gel, it takes a certain amount of courage to take a bite.

Although the bamboo shoot jelly looks disgusting, it still attracts a large number of loyal fans with its delicious taste.

3. Hairy Eggs

Hairy eggs, also called live beads, are a famous specialty of Nanjing and are a snack in Jinling. It is an egg that is about to hatch into a living but not fully formed embryo. There are already traces of a head, wings, and feet in the egg, which is like a chicken and an egg.

Many people in Nanjing love to eat it, but many friends from other places find it difficult to accept it. Some people will feel sick just looking at it, and they will definitely not have the urge to eat it. Although the appearance is hard to accept, the taste is actually very delicious, even comparable to the tenderness of puffer fish.
