The dark cuisine in the eyes of Chinese, but foreigners can t put it down, do you dare to eat these

As the saying goes, "the honey of A, the arsenic of B", what is a delicacy in the eyes of many foreigners is a "horror dish" that is frightening to us. Bei Ye in "Survival in the Wilderness" tasted all kinds of strange food, but was "scared to cry" by our preserved eggs. We have long been accustomed to the food that panics foreigners.

So, what do you know about foreign food? Let's take a look at the "dark cuisine" from abroad!

Some people say that natto stinks, smells of feet, and is a bit like alcohol. In particular, natto has a sticky texture that tastes like a slime and snot, making it difficult to swallow. However, in Japan, natto is loved by many people.

In Japan, local specialties such as Dairyuji Natto, Daitokuji Natto, Ikkyu Natto, Hamana Natto from Daifukuji Temple, and Yatsuhashi Natto from Gojinji Temple have been passed down based on the characteristics of each region.

Although many people cannot accept natto, natto has a high nutritional value and is rich in vitamin K2, and eating it regularly can prevent intestinal diseases such as constipation and diarrhea.

Sweden – canned herring.

Do you know how smelly canned herring really is? A netizen who challenged canned herring said that it was a feeling of fermenting Houttuynia cordata in a stinky ditch for a month before squeezing the juice, and some people called it the biochemical ** of the food world, which is 20 times more smelly than stinky tofu. Canned herring is a traditional Swedish food, and it is a food made by canning processed herring and allowing it to ferment naturally.

Due to its incredible smell, it has been reported that citizens in Sweden are not allowed to open canned herring in residential areas, nor are they allowed on international flights.

Italy – live maggot cheese.

Presumably, there are many people who already have a numb scalp just by hearing this dish? Doesn't maggots come from foul-smelling toilets or rotten food, and how can anyone still want to eat them?

In fact, this is a special dish of Italy, also known as caramazu cheese, and its biggest feature is that the cheese contains live fly larvae. It is worth noting that when people touch these larvae, their bodies can be twice as long. Moreover, if the maggots do not wriggle, it means that the cheese is already poisonous and inedible.

Haggis is almost the most feared dark dish in Britain. What is Haggis? In fact, it is minced lamb tripe, that is, lamb belly crumb pudding.

To make haggis, you need to empty the stomach of the sheep, then stuff it with all kinds of sheep offal, such as sheep heart, sheep liver, sheep lung, etc., and finally simmer for 1-2 hours.

Don't dare to eat. Canned herring from Sweden and live maggot cheese from Italy are local classics that are used to entertain guests, but in the eyes of the Chinese, they are dark dishes.

I feel that the dark cuisine in my eyes is canned herring, and I can feel the strong taste through the screen, and I really dare not eat it, and the other is fried earthworms.

I know canned herring from Sweden, natto from Japan, and live maggot cheese from Italy, and I don't dare to eat any of them.

Like China's most famous stinky tofu. And the eggs. There are also sweet and sour chicken feet, which are called black dishes by foreigners.

Obviously delicious, foreigners can't accept it, and the Chinese snacks called "dark cuisine" include stinky tofu, snail noodles, preserved eggs, hairy eggs, and so on.

Beijing people especially like to drink soybean juice, it is to grind mung bean starch with water and then leave the pale green soup, and then ferment and boil it, which is the favorite food of old Beijing.

Wander around to see the world, and go to the end of the world without hurrying. I'm Yodajun, and today we're going to talk about a Chinese food that makes foreigners' souls "tremble" - preserved eggs. Preserved eggs, also known as Songhua eggs, are a unique ancient traditional flavor food in our country, as early as the Tang Dynasty, the ancients have invented this special food.

Preserved eggs are made with duck eggs as the main raw material, plus quicklime, caustic soda, salt, yellow pill powder, etc., mixed into a thin puree, wrapped and pickled.

Looking at these raw materials, except for duck eggs, the other are completely inedible chemical materials, and it is incredible that these seemingly "dark cuisine" ingredients "create" a unique style of food, from this point of view, I really admire the inventor of preserved eggs who dared to taste this method in the first place.

Preserved eggs are like "coriander", it is a food that people love and hate, some people like to eat it, but some people can't stand it at all, especially for foreigners, preserved eggs are simply "dark cuisine" for them!

Many years ago, CNN's roaming program in the United States did a selection of "Asia's weirdest food", and surprisingly, Chinese preserved eggs were ranked first, and even the scary-sounding foods such as Philippine wood borers and Cambodian fried tarantulas were relegated to preserved eggs.

It turned out that foreigners felt that they had never seen black eggs before, and that black eggs with patterns looked scary, and that they had a very strange taste that was unbearable.

Some foreigners said, "This is simply a pickled egg made by the devil." There was also a foreign ** that listed preserved eggs as "the most disgusting food in the world", and in some games in the United States, eating preserved eggs was also used as a punishment. I often see some foreign friends release the first time to eat preserved eggs**, judging from the "painful" expression, preserved eggs are simply "soul trembling" for them!

In fact, the difference in views on food stems from the difference between Chinese and Western food cultures, because of the different ways of preparing food that have been accumulated for a long time, it is understandable that Chinese and Western people have resistance to some of each other's "strange" foods. I believe that many friends can't bear to eat a lot of strange food when they travel abroad.

Preserved eggs, fried dough sticks, cured meat, are all poisonous!

What I personally know is that Westerners don't dare to eat Chinese hot pot, Chinese fish-flavored shredded pork, and palace fried chicken, and secondly, they don't dare to eat China's sour and hot shredded potatoes, and Westerners don't dare to eat our stinky tofu.

Personally, I feel that they don't dare to eat Chinese snail noodles, stinky tofu, hairy eggs, and spicy hot pot, because these foods taste more special, and the taste of northerners is relatively light, and they may not be able to accept it.

Chinese delicacies that Westerners dare not eat include roasted silkworm pupa, fried grasshoppers, stinky tofu, animal offal, and preserved eggs. These delicacies are very horrible and disgusting in foreign countries.

Haggis, pig intestines, duck blood, fried grasshoppers, roasted silkworm pupa, bullfrogs, because they think these foods are very cruel and the appearance is particularly ugly.

Hairy crabs - many Chinese like hairy crabs during the New Year's holidays, but foreign media report that hairy crabs are "hairy", "huge", "pests" and "giant carrioners".

Turtle Ling Jelly – Turtle Ling Jelly is a traditional Chinese medicinal food with many effects; However, foreigners find turtle jelly similar to jelly, but the bitter taste makes it difficult for them to accept.

Bird's Nest – Bird's nest is listed as a delicacies of the mountains and seas in China and is a well-known top nutritional product; But foreigners think that bird's nest is the saliva of swifts.

Fish head - fish head is a very distinctive dish in China, many Chinese love to eat; Foreigners, however, are afraid of inadvertently catching up with dead fish.

When it comes to the food that foreigners think is "unpalatable" on our table, the first thing that comes to everyone's mind is not preserved eggs? This is the food that was hacked into the universe by foreigners, and there were once foreigners who asked curiously: Why do Chinese like to eat "unpalatable" food?

Chinese food never produces unpalatable food, okay! It's completely wrong to say that it's unpalatable, and we all know that Chinese food is very particular about how to eat.

There is also tofu milk that foreigners find very "unpalatable". In a program where foreigners tried Chinese food, two foreigners directly stuffed tofu milk into their mouths with a spoon and ate it, and after eating, they said: This is too unpalatable, it tastes like stinky socks.

It's completely wrong to eat and say "unpalatable", and I don't know if they deliberately smear our food or really don't know how to eat it? Look at us eating tofu and milk, who would be stupid and stuff it directly into the mouth, all stir-fried vegetables or sandwiched in steamed buns.

First of all, foreigners themselves do not have the habit of eating pig ears, and they also feel very scary psychologically. In a food shot by a foreigner, a foreigner complained: "I really don't understand why they like to eat pig ears, this kind of bite in the mouth feels very uncomfortable, there is a fishy smell of pork."

So let's see how he eats pig ears. Slice the boiled pig ears, then dip them in cumin and eat them, completely as a barbecue meat, we have long known that the pig ears are best mixed with a little vinegar and chili.

In fact, in addition to the unpalatable Chinese food caused by their wrong way of eating, it is also due to the difference between their food culture and ours to a large extent, such as some animal offal such as tripe that we like to eat. In terms of food practices, it is not so easy for foreigners to learn how to cook, and it is very difficult for them to cook a bowl of noodles, let alone let them marinate a pig's trotters and cool a plate of pig's ears. This is also the reason why some foreigners are curious about how we like to eat "unpalatable" food.

Internet.

Many Chinese delicacies are recognized as unpalatable abroad, and the most representative food is Songhua eggs.

There is also a place called "preserved eggs", and the preserved eggs in the preserved egg lean porridge are Songhua eggs. Every New Year's holiday, I will buy some platters, which is a favorite of Chinese people.

Every time I see the expression of a foreigner eating preserved eggs, it is called a cry without tears and difficult to swallow. In fact, Chinese do not eat directly, generally cut into small pieces into a crescent shape, accompanied by balsamic vinegar, ginger, a few drops of sesame oil. The best taste is to eat a piece of preserved egg and take a sip of beer.

Maybe it's not seasoning foreigners, or maybe it's intentionally challenging the taste buds of foreigners.

In short, Songhua eggs are definitely a favorite food of Chinese people and recognized as unpalatable by foreigners.

Tofu - As a unique condiment in China, many people in China like to eat it as a dipping sauce, but foreigners think that it is rotten food and are worried that it is unhygienic to eat.

Chicken feet, which are sold in almost all supermarkets, are a popular dish in China, but foreigners think they are like human hands.

There are also animal blood, offal, preserved eggs, etc.

The first type: preserved eggs.

Preserved eggs, also known as Songhua eggs, are a unique traditional flavor egg products in our country, its main ingredient is duck eggs, processed preserved eggs will become dark and shiny, and there are white patterns on it. Preserved eggs have a special aroma, but they are very delicious. However, for foreigners, eating preserved eggs is a kind of "abuse".

Friends who have watched Bei Ye's wilderness adventure survival documentary should know that Bei Ye is in the wild, and there is nothing he doesn't eat, but when he eats Chinese preserved eggs, he doesn't want to eat them a second time, he is particularly afraid of eating preserved eggs. Maybe my personal taste is different, I like to eat preserved eggs the most, whether it is chili preserved eggs or cold preserved eggs, they are my favorites.

1. Pork skin jelly, many foreigners heard that it was boiled out of pig skin, and they waved their hands vigorously to express that they couldn't eat it. But this is what I went from a snack to a delicacy. The taste is good. And it's beautiful.

2. Stinky tofu, foreigners must dislike it for being too stinky. I found out why there are so many problems with foreigners. Chinese foodies are not convinced.

3, hairy eggs, this foreigner feels like he is going to run when he sees it, and their reaction is surprising. What's the big deal. It was the main nutrition when I was a child. It's delicious, grilled and fried.

4. Preserved eggs, called Songhua eggs in the Northeast. Although it tastes like it has a unique taste, foreigners still can't eat it, and foreigners say it's a bit stinky.

5. Pig large intestine, as long as they know what this dish is made of, they will definitely not eat it, there have been foreigners who ate pig large intestine without knowing it, and he said that it tasted good at that time, but he vomited immediately after knowing that it was the large intestine of pigs, because in the eyes of foreigners, the large intestine of pigs is the organ that holds stool, which is too dirty.

Chinese cuisine is world-renowned and well-received. However, due to the differences between Chinese and Western food cultures, some of the foods we love to eat have become a nightmare for foreigners. Today, I will introduce the most unpalatable Chinese food in the eyes of foreigners, especially Figure 3, which is rated as the most "disgusting" food in the world.

1. Chicken feet: Chicken feet are used in various ways to make crispy and delicious dishes and snacks in China. But abroad, tens of thousands of chicken feet are dumped in garbage treatment plants every year. Many foreigners can't understand that someone would eat chicken feet that are as frightening as human hands.

2. Tofu milk: Due to the special production method and taste, many foreigners cannot accept it, thinking that it is rotten food and worrying that it is unhygienic to eat.

3. Preserved eggs: In the early years, preserved eggs were rated as the world's top disgusting food. Foreigners' evaluation of preserved eggs is the most "disgusting" food in the world.

4. Animal blood: Most foreigners are afraid of eating animal blood, thinking that it is incredible, fishy and disgusting to make it an ingredient. They wondered why we would take the blood of all kinds of animals to make it taste better.

5. Stinky tofu: Stinky tofu was once famous in China because of the love of the Empress Dowager Cixi, and was given the name "Qingfang" and listed as a side dish of the imperial diet. Many Chinese natives admit that the taste of stinky tofu is indeed "ten miles away", and foreigners find it even more difficult to accept when trying it.
