What do you think is delicious, but foreigners are not used to it?
Shrimp sauce is probably made for technical reasons. It's not smelly, it's salty. However, the sauce made by local people with small mullet beans and the sauce made by small fish have a foul smell after opening the lid. We like to steam it in a pot, so that we can dip lettuce and onion in the cake.
I saw a stranger, and I wanted to vomit when I smelled the fish sauce, let alone eat it.
Another one, Gaba shrimp, we like to eat it raw, marinate it with wine, onion, ginger and pepper, and you can feel the shrimp beating in your mouth at the entrance. Ordinary mainlanders can't accept it.
We like to eat oysters raw and dip them in horseradish, but foreigners generally dare not.
My hometown is in the northeast. Everyone knows that Northeast cuisine is affordable, salty and delicious. But there is a pig-killing dish called sauerkraut, white meat and blood sausage, which is the most popular stew in Northeast China every winter.
However, this dish has been unpopular since it left Shanhaiguan for the south. Look at the wall between Shanhaiguan and the northeast. It's amazing. I used to run a restaurant from the north to the south, and this pig-killing dish accompanied me all the way to the south, but the southerners said it was unacceptable. From the color point of view, southerners directly refused, feeling that the pig-killing dish was dirty, because the soup was dark when the sausage was cooked, and the smell of blood was very heavy. Southerners usually eat soup first, then vegetables, which is embarrassing and unacceptable, and really can't adapt.
It is mainly a symbol of the characteristics of the Northeast Hotel, such as braised pork, pickles, big bone sauce, dried bean curd and pepper, one-pot cooking, jiaozi and so on; If you open a restaurant in the south, you can't call it the Northeast Hotel without these dishes. As long as the guests who enter the house order these dishes, they don't have to look at them. 100% are from the northeast, not to mention that one side is nourished by water and soil.
In fact, killing pig dishes is not delicious for the first time, but it will be addictive if you eat them often. The secret of killing pig dishes is that leftovers will be more delicious when returned to the pot, just like chowder. Whether a dish is delicious or not is related to eating habits, so there is a huge gap between the north and the south in eating, which is also irreconcilable. No matter who says the northern food is delicious, there will be friends from the south who will object. This is the reason.
The pot dishes in my hometown are delicious to the public and too fat to outsiders.
Rotten dried fruit, also known as stinky tofu, is one of the traditional local delicacies in Hunan and Hubei. Because stinky tofu has a pungent smell, it is regarded by foreigners as unpleasant and unpalatable food, and even as unhealthy food.
In fact, tofu is "smelly" because the protein contained in tofu is decomposed by protease during fermentation flooding and post-fermentation, and the sulfur-containing amino acids contained in tofu are fully hydrolyzed to produce a compound called hydrogen sulfide (H2S), which has a pungent smell. Protein decomposes to produce amino acids, which are delicious, so they are "delicious". In the past, stinky tofu was usually regarded as "unhealthy" food, but now it has become a good thing. According to Taiwan Province's "Jian Kang" magazine, stinky tofu is rich in plant lactic acid bacteria, which has a good effect of moistening intestine and invigorating stomach.
Stinky tofu is made of high-quality soybeans. The production process is complex, and soybeans have to go through ten processes, such as screening, hulling, soaking, pulping, filtering, cooking, pulping, forming, dicing and fermentation. Chenggong stinky tofu is soft and smooth, emitting a special fragrance. Grandfather praised the cloud: "The taste is more beautiful, and the jade food cannot be passed on." It not only has high nutritional value, but also has good medicinal value. According to ancient medical books, stinky tofu can cold and benefit qi, harmonize spleen and stomach, relieve swelling and pain, clear away heat and promote blood circulation, and turbid qi in large intestine. Eating regularly can enhance physical fitness and strengthen skin.
Evaluation of stinky tofu, the most famous is the stinky tofu in Changsha City, Hunan Province. Stinky tofu, which originated from Changsha, is refined by unique technological process and secret recipe handed down from ancestors. It is a classic product of Changsha stinky tofu, which has good color, fragrance and taste, crisp outside and tender inside, delicious fragrance, strange and attractive, smelly and fragrant, fine workmanship and excellent taste.
In order to eat stinky tofu, it is best to cook at home. Here's how to make stinky tofu:
1. Prepare ingredients.

My first reaction when I saw this topic was: Gaba cuisine.
Why? Because friends from the south came to Tianjin to play before, as well as my classmates and my schoolmates in college, most of them didn't like to eat Gaba food. They think Gaba food tastes strange and feels sticky.
But I really like eating Gaba food. I often eat Gaba food in the morning, a bowl of Gaba food, just a big piece of fruit, and then come back with a bowl of pulp after eating, not to mention how comfortable it is.
Tianjin people call Guoba cuisine Gaba cuisine, and halogen is vegetarian. Gaba in Gaba cuisine is mung bean supplemented with rice or millet, ground into pulp and spread into cakes. Cut into willow leaves. Some people say that the Gaba cooked by Gaba is pure mung bean noodles, but this is actually wrong, because if it is mung bean noodles, then Gaba will be scattered in the brine and cannot be eaten.
When selling, the master grabs a handful of gabardine, soaks it in brine, stirs it, puts it in a bowl, and sprinkles it with sesame sauce, bean curd sauce, coriander and Chili oil (usually the master will ask if you want to add Chili), and some shops will add some dried incense. A bowl of Gaba food, delicious and beautiful, colorful and fragrant, I love it!
What foods are considered delicious in my hometown, but not very delicious in the eyes of foreigners?
Hello, I'm Ming Ze Cuisine, and I'll answer this question.
We all say that when in Rome, do as the Romans do, it is only a temporary adaptation, but it is still very difficult to really integrate into the local environment, just like the local food we like to eat, but in the eyes of outsiders, it is not attractive at all. It's not that the food has no taste, but that it doesn't suit other people's tastes. It is said that "a son is not too ugly for his mother, and a dog is not too poor for his family." By the same token, local dishes are only suitable for local people's tastes, even if they are fine in workmanship and unique in taste, they will not be liked by others.
Following today's question, I will say several delicious foods that are very popular in our local area, but foreigners don't like them.
1. Sheep blood sausage
When visiting Hulunbeier, Mongolian food and mutton are one of the must-eat foods. When tasting Mongolian meal, sheep blood sausage is an indispensable main course in Mongolian meal. In our local area, sheep's blood sausage is made of sheep's blood slaughtered on the same day, mixed with coriander, minced garlic, chopped green onion, Jiang Mo, allspice powder, refined salt and sheep's chamois oil, and then made into casing. However, it tastes soft and tender. Maybe foreigners usually eat pig blood sausage, so they don't like sheep blood sausage with a little fishy smell. No matter how enthusiastic we are, it will never work. There is only one ending, watching the sheep's blood and intestines not eat.
2. local carp
Our local Hulun Lake is rich in all kinds of freshwater fish, including white fish, carp, crucian carp, catfish and pike. These freshwater fish, which are regarded as treasures in the eyes of our locals, are not liked by outsiders, especially carp.
I am engaged in the catering industry. Every summer comes, there are many tourists in the shop, because my shop deals in all kinds of beef, mutton and fish dishes. Whenever I recommend the local Hulun Lake carp to my guests, most of them will be rejected. The reason they gave is that carp is not delicious, tastes too rustic and has many thorns. I am also surprised to hear this reason. We are local carp. Moreover, the meat is tender and there are very few fishbones. Later, I also asked the customer carefully before I knew the real reason. It turns out that their local carp has a strong earthy smell, and it tastes bad when eaten too much, so I thought our local carp was just as bad. Hearing this, I also explained to foreign tourists that there are many advantages of our local carp, but many tourists still don't like it very much. So local tourists still don't like it.
3. Grassland beef
Our local beef is very famous, but it is not popular in the eyes of many foreigners. They also try beef, but the reaction is not very good. The reason is that our local beef is thick and difficult to stew and swallow. Because our local cattle are free-range, each cow has to walk dozens of kilometers a day after feeding grass, so their muscle tissue is very developed, with less fat and more lean meat, and the beef should be stewed to a soft and rotten degree. If it is stewed normally with fire, it will take at least two hours, and it will take about 40 minutes to stew in a pressure cooker.
Cattle from other places are basically artificially fed, so the meat lacks gluten and is easy to stew. Maybe they are used to eating this kind of weak beef. Many foreigners come to the grassland and say that the cows on the grassland are not cooked by old cows.
Although this is a beautiful misunderstanding, it just shows that foreigners may not accept the food that locals are used to. It's not that our ingredients are bad, nor that foreigners are picky. It can only be said that it is not so easy to get used to a lifestyle and let it change easily. There is nothing wrong with local food, and there is nothing wrong with foreigners trying it. All the mistakes are caused by our eating habits.
Final conclusion: The answer to this question ends here. It can be seen from this problem that everyone's eating habits are formed by living environment and time. Many delicious foods recognized by local people are not very delicious in the eyes of outsiders, but we can taste all the delicious foods in the world. Not liking them doesn't mean not tasting them. Although we don't approve of local specialties, we can also have a taste. First of all, we can get to know the local people. I'm from Ming Ze. Thank you for reading this article.

If you want to choose hometown dishes that locals like to eat, but foreigners think they are not very delicious, I think bamboo rice in Enping, Jiangmen, my hometown is one of them.
Enping's special dishes are considered to be unique wild vegetables in Enping area, and only Enping area can grow alive.
Basket, as its name implies, means "basket", which means there are thorns. This wild vegetable is covered with thorns, which are distributed between branches and leaves.
Although it is the freshest and tender in the Qingming Festival, even the sharp thorns are rotten when chewed, you should be very careful when eating, and "handle with care" is the first priority.
Not only is it prickly, it makes people unhappy, but it also tastes bitter. This kind of bitterness is not like bitter gourd. This is a simple pain. If foreigners try it for the first time, they will feel bitter and full. It's really hard to swallow and people don't like it.
Although foreigners resist the taste of bamboo shoots, Enping people still like bamboo shoots very much.
They think that the taste of leek is not bitter, but sweet, and the aftertaste is fragrant, sweet and delicious.
Enping people eat leeks in many ways. Stir-fried garlic, lobster sauce, fat meat, pork liver, lean meat, preserved eggs, leeks and crucian carp.
Enping people think that the soup of crucian carp is the best, and the salty taste of crucian carp will sublimate the bitter taste of crucian carp, so it tastes delicious but not bitter.
Enping people love to eat bamboo shoots because it is recorded in Compendium of Materia Medica that bamboo shoots can cure all kinds of poisons. They believe that Zaizai has the functions of clearing away heat and toxic materials, quenching thirst, relieving alcohol and tobacco, preventing colds and resisting fatigue.
Because of the many benefits, there are still dried vegetables soaked in water to drink, which have been developed into "vegetables with tea" and are exported to all parts of the country. The most amazing thing is that it is combined with Xinhui Chenpi and Enping sesame seed cake to make a sesame seed cake. This kind of cake has the sweet and sour taste of leek, the fragrance of dried tangerine peel and a more special taste.
For Enping's specialty, friends who go to Enping can try all kinds of vegetables to see if they can accept it. Perhaps, after getting used to it, you will also like this special taste of "no pains."
I am a food lover who loves cooking. Although Beijing is not my hometown, there are too many delicious foods here. I have lived here for almost 20 years and have eaten a lot of all kinds of delicious foods. The following is a brief introduction.
Fermented beverage made of ground beans.
Bean juice seems to be the most famous, and most people can't accept authentic Beijing food. Because it is fermented by beans, I am not used to eating it, and I feel sour. Eating habits really feel like drinks. A bowl in summer is really refreshing. Fortunately, I'm still used to drinking this stuff then. People like to use bean juice with yogurt and some pickles. You don't need anything to drink bean juice, just drink it directly. Because I also like sour taste.
Stewed pig offal
The predecessor of stewing fire is said to be made of Soviet meat, which is a delicacy in the palace. Later, it spread to the people and became the kind of thing people looked up. The main raw materials are not so delicate, and they have all become pig water. Pig lung, large intestine head and pig liver, these raw materials are very cheap, but the things that taste very good have become the delicacies of ordinary people. Actually, it's not that terrible to cook and burn in a pot. As long as you like to eat internal organs, eating this thing is generally not a problem. But if you don't like internal organs, it may be a bit difficult for people to eat this thing.
Stinky tofu
I watched a program the other day. It is said that stinky tofu was brought to Beijing by Anhui people, because Wang Zhihe is from Anhui. Anhui is rich in a kind of hairy tofu, which gradually evolved into stinky tofu in Beijing. The smell of stinky tofu is still very exciting. Many people can't get used to this taste. To tell the truth, this stinky tofu comment really stinks if it destroys something you don't know. But old Beijingers have an interesting snack, which is fried steamed bread slices dipped in stinky tofu. The fried steamed bread slices are fragrant and crisp, and the feeling of soaking in stinky tofu is really strange, fun and delicious.
It makes sense for one side to nourish one side, and each place has its own unique food and snacks. These cuisines are not simple, they have historical origins and adapt to the tastes of local people. So many foreigners may not be used to it.
As a native of rural Guangdong, I can only say that it is rat meat.
I remember when I was a child, after the autumn harvest, after a month or two, the weather would be a little cold and the endless fields would be empty, but when you walk in, you will find rat holes everywhere.
About three or five children, bring shovels and dig holes one by one. Finally, you will find that everyone can guess the delicious (mouse).
You can catch ten eights in one morning, but no problem. Then peel off the hair, wash the internal organs and dry the water. Dig a hole in the ground, burn a charcoal fire, put the mouse in the oven, cover it, and take it out for half an hour. Within a few hundred meters, it will be old and fragrant, and with soy sauce, it can rival the world's cuisine.
Come out to work, meet friends from all corners of the country in these big cities of Guangzhou, sit together and chat, and sometimes talk about food. When I said my food, everyone's eyes looked at me as big as an ox's egg. Is this edible? I didn't want to say it, it's delicious! It's incredible that some people think it's not delicious!
I am from Shaanxi, and now I am in xi 'an, the provincial capital. Many tourists who have been to Xi 'an must know that there are many kinds of food in Xi 'an, but most of them are pasta. Walking on the street, you can see many noodle shops or paomo shops, cold noodle shops and so on. It is normal for local people to eat more than two meals of pasta a day, which is directly related to the abundant wheat in Guanzhong Plain. Shaanxi cuisine belongs to one of the regions with strong regional characteristics. Although Shaanxi cuisine is not among the eight major cuisines, it is deeply loved by Shaanxi people. So I would like to introduce some delicious food that we like to eat but foreigners don't like to eat.
oil spill noodle
There are many wheaten foods in Shaanxi, and oil-sprinkled noodles are one of the famous wheaten foods. The method is to cook the handmade noodles first, then put them into a bowl and add seasoning salt, pepper powder and chopped green onion. And then pour the pre-cooked oil directly on the noodles. The pasta made in this way is called oil-sprinkled noodles, which is the favorite of Shaanxi people. However, many foreigners feel bored, and when they eat slowly, they will paste together. When I was at school, I invited my classmates from other places to eat oily noodles, and then I started to taste absolutely delicious, but I couldn't eat any more.
Stirring ball
Fried noodles are the favorite of Shaanxi people and are very famous in Guanzhong area. This kind of food is suitable for all ages. It tastes as soft as tofu and is made of corn flour and soybeans. After the prepared fried noodles are put into the bowl, be sure to add local syrup. If you want to eat Chili, it tastes sour and delicious. Similarly, there is the famous fried fish in Xi 'an. Many foreigners don't like that kind of sugar water and think this food is not delicious.
Pickled bean jelly
Stewed bean jelly is one of the dark dishes in Xi 'an, which is very famous in Xi 'an. Many people will compare this kind of food with stinky tofu or broken ears when evaluating it. There are many seasonings for marinating bean jelly. A bowl of delicious marinated bean jelly should start with steamed bread at the bottom, then add bean jelly, pour marinade, add vinegar, sesame sauce, garlic juice, pepper, etc., and then add preserved eggs. When eating, you should eat along the side of the bowl, but the taste is heavy, which makes many people disgusted.
Chili soup
This last dish is a "nightmare" for foreigners. Hu spicy soup is the first choice for Ann's breakfast. Many people like to drink a bowl in the morning. This dish is full of Chili and Chili powder, which looks sticky and spicy, but for people with light taste, Hu spicy soup is out of reach, and I don't like it myself, let alone foreigners.
Ok, let me introduce these four kinds of delicious food that locals love and foreigners can't get used to.
