When I received the invitation to ask this question, I asked my mother specifically, because my mother has always lived in the countryside, and she knows more about the countryside, and my mother said that the most bitter dish is: bitter hemp seed vegetables. Bitter hemp seed is a kind of wild vegetable with a long history of eating in China. Bitter in taste and refreshing. ‍‍

In the summer, bitter gourd is the most popular vegetable to relieve heat and relieve heat, in the past, farmers did not like to eat bitter gourd, it was really bitter, but when I grew up, I unconsciously fell in love with bitter gourd, and the more bitter bitter gourd, the more I love to eat.

Dandelion is a special dish that we often eat in the countryside, although it is very bitter, but people who have eaten it feel that it has a "refreshing taste, bitter taste and sweet taste".

Some of the older generation living in rural areas believe that they have eaten wild vegetables to a greater or lesser extent, especially in the fifties and sixties, when people were very scarce in food and often faced the dilemma of not having enough to eat. Therefore, when you are hungry, you will inevitably dig some wild vegetables everywhere to eat, even if the taste is not good, you can barely fill your stomach. However, with the improvement of people's economic level, the current rural areas have undergone great changes compared with the previous rural areas.

Almost every household has built a house, even bought a car, and the variety of food is becoming more and more abundant, so in many cases, wild vegetables are not so rare in rural people.

Because in the past, people used wild vegetables to satisfy their hunger because they had no food to eat, which was not a particularly rare thing, and for people nowadays, of course, they don't like to eat wild vegetables. Although some rural people don't like to eat wild vegetables, for many people in the city, they still prefer wild vegetables. As the saying goes, scarcity is expensive, and people in the city rarely see wild vegetables, so they like wild vegetables even more.

Some rural people see business opportunities in wild vegetables, and even dig wild vegetables outside, which are higher than the vegetables grown in their own vegetable gardens. Therefore, people will not eat wild vegetables after digging them outside, but will take them to the city and sell them to the city people. Especially in the countryside, some elderly people like to dig some wild vegetables to sell in the city when they usually live, which can also bring a small part of their economic income.

Although some wild vegetables taste very delicious and delicious, there are also some wild vegetables that can be said to be very bitter and unacceptable to many people.

Generally, after processing, the bitterness in the wild vegetables can be eliminated, and it can still be eaten.

Because there is a better choice, because the wild vegetables are not well treated, it is necessary to blanch them with hot water, so that the taste can be better removed.

Now that the material living conditions are better, the peasants have no shortage of food and drink, and they can grow enough vegetables to eat by themselves. If you taste wild vegetables, it is also for your health, and you want to eat green pollution-free vegetables. Wild herbs are not all bitter, and as long as they are handled properly, they can be delicious.

Many farmers are imitating and groping ways to grow rice, and no one is willing to teach you at all, so the grain yield is very low, and the farmland that could have been planted with double-cropping rice was planted with single-cropping rice at that time, resulting in a shortage of food at home, especially in the early days of reform and opening up, food and clothing became a problem. What impressed me was that the soup noodles were filled with sweet potato leaves, and there was no oil, the sweet potato leaves were really unpalatable, and I hated to eat the loofah, which was put in the noodle soup, and it didn't taste at all.

At noon, I handed it out and put it in the afternoon, and the sweet potato was boiled in a big sieve, and people ate pigs, and I hated that the sky was unknown, so I got up and closed my eyes and grinded, and pushed for hours.

<> the peasants' food and clothing problems have just been resolved, material resources are not abundant, life is not too rich, the proportion of planned economic components is still very large, light industrial supplies are still purchased by marketing cooperatives, and agricultural products are still traded in assemblies. Therefore, at that time, there were a lot of peasants rushing to the meeting. Later, I learned that my mother bought hawthorn to save money, and the other was to have more children to eat.

Although my mother didn't buy white pears, I was quite grateful to her. At that time, the child was in difficulty and there was little food, so the parents had to show the wisdom she should have to live a difficult life.

Compared with mustard greens, Chinese bitter water is not so delicious, but an astringent bitter taste, so many people are actually reluctant to eat Chinese small bitter water.
