We were born and grew up in the countryside. In the countryside, there are no delicacies to eat. We all eat ordinary farm food, which is pure natural, pollution-free, and green food.

But what is the most disgusting thing to eat, you ask? In my opinion, I have never eaten anything unpleasant, because living in the countryside has done all the ups and downs. The rural people live in harmony and live a carefree life every day, eating the food that my mother made for us. Food, whatever you eat tastes good.

This is the life of rural people.

As a person born in the 1960s, I grew up in a rural area, and my hometown is a mountainous area. It was inevitable to eat sugary vegetables when I was a child. The "vegetable" mentioned here does not refer to vegetables. At that time, no matter how unfamiliar the vegetables were, they were still delicious to eat. The "vegetable" here refers to wild vegetables. Nowadays, people's living conditions are better, and they are tired of eating fresh and delicious vegetables. Every spring, when the grass is tender and thousands of trees are blooming in the fields, people in the city will drive to the countryside in groups, One is for a spring outing and enjoying the spring scenery in the countryside, and the other is to pick some wild vegetables to try. Now that the "waking of insects" has arrived, hundreds of trees have begun to sprout, and city residents are eager to look for wild vegetables. The day before yesterday, I had a meal with a friend in a restaurant. The food was very sumptuous. As we were eating, he suddenly asked me where to find acacia flowers in my hometown. He wanted me to take him to pick acacia flowers. He wanted to give me a chance to take him to pick acacia flowers. Let’s talk about the “ku Lei” (a kind of food) steamed with acacia flowers mixed with cornmeal.

But when we were young, we often ate wild vegetables, and to be honest, we really didn’t want to eat them. At that time, in my hometown, there were many edible wild vegetables, such as green vegetables, dandelions, elm leaves, wild leeks, acacia flowers, toona sinensis, heihe leaves, etc.

The most unpalatable thing is "Hei Hei Ye" (dialect). This kind of plant grows a lot on the terraces of my house. When spring comes, Hei Hei sprouts and turns green early. But it is not edible at this time. If you eat it, it will be poisonous and make people's whole body swollen. People will not go to the fields to pick it until the first sound of spring thunder passes.

People will first scald the harvested Heihe leaves with hot water, saying that if eaten in this way, the leaves will be non-toxic. Then mix the hey leaves with sugar flour or cornmeal to make pancakes and eat them.

Among the foods I have ever eaten, Heiheye is one of the most unpalatable wild vegetables. It tastes bitter and astringent and is difficult to swallow.

Things are different now. Some people say that many wild vegetables can prevent and cure diseases, and that "hey leaves" can clear away heat and detoxify. This may make sense in today's world, because people nowadays eat more meat, and some people suffer from obesity. Eating some wild vegetables such as hey leaves in moderation can remove some fat from the body, which is good for the body.

Do you still eat wild vegetables now? I don’t eat "Hey Hey Ye", but the past has become a good memory. Now my living conditions are better, but I buy it from the supermarket or vegetable market. Vegetables, since most of them are grown in greenhouses, don’t taste the same as they used to. For example, the tomatoes on the market today and fried vegetables feel bland and tasteless, and you can't taste the taste that farmers grew at home in the past. So I miss the taste of my childhood. In the past, the vegetables that naturally exuded the fragrance of the fields were no longer available. When spring came, I would go to the village to pick some acacia flowers and wild leeks to cook. The fragrance of the fields was really unique. The taste is in my heart.

In the 1960s, needless to say, there was almost nothing delicious about eating glutinous vegetables. But I think the most unpalatable thing was the glutinous rice noodles because of the so-called "grain" The noodles include rice flour and a lot of grains, which is really hard to swallow!

Steamed steamed buns mixed with bran and wild vegetables.

Bark. It tastes bad, I’ve eaten it too.

In rural areas, what is the most unpalatable thing that farmers eat? If we talk about the period of repaying the Soviet Union's foreign debt in the 1960s, during the three-year period of extreme difficulties in the countryside from 1960 to 1962, all farmers' grain and agricultural products were handed over to repay the debt. In addition, there were natural disasters at that time. Many people in the countryside starved to death, and those who survived relied on eating tree bark and leaves. At that time, the bark of the elm trees in the countryside had been stripped away, and the food the farmers ate at that time was considered unpalatable!

I am qualified to answer this question. Thinking back to 1960, I ate almost anything I could put into my stomach, including corn cobs, peanut skins, dried carrots, cabbage roots, and sorghum skins (not sorghum). Bran, sorghum bran is still edible) dried corn husks..., mixed with very little grain, is called the grain increase method.

Pancakes made from ground corn husks and corn bones.

The texture of this kind of chaff and corn bone is rough. Use it and water to make pancakes, which are very astringent, bitter, and irritating to the throat. It is difficult to swallow and excrete when eaten in the mouth. You have to eat anyway, otherwise hunger will be even worse.

Now that I think about it, it’s incredible that the stomachs of adults and children could accommodate such things.

When I was a child, I was so happy when I could eat white flour dumplings once in the countryside. I could eat dumplings every year on New Year's Eve. I usually ate cornmeal with wild vegetables and no green vegetables. I remember that time Since the school is far away from home, I have to bring lunch with me every day when I go to school, which is just a steamed bun and a piece of pickles. I eat it quietly in the seat at the back of the classroom when no one is paying attention.

Because part of our class had urban household registration, and their food was distributed uniformly by the state, which basically consisted of white flour and rice, so at that time, eating steamed buns felt very embarrassing and I didn’t dare to take it out. Once, a good classmate of mine invited me to her home, where we had a meal of white rice, and her mother also cooked vegetables. To this day, I still think it was the most delicious meal. Later, when conditions improved, I began to eat rice and white flour. I vowed never to eat cornmeal that I couldn't chew anymore. I thought it was the most unpalatable food. In fact, it helped us survive three years of natural disasters.

Now that I am old, I have a new appreciation for cornmeal after retirement. I make it once a week. Of course, the method now is completely different from before. It has various nutrients, including oil and meat. , it is eaten as a nutritious meal

, and sometimes it is given to neighbors for early taste when it is ready.

It’s really this moment and that moment!
