Fujian: Tu Bamboo Shoots Jelly In the southern Fujian area, there is a local specialty called "Tu Bamboo Shoots Jelly". It seems to be inextricably linked to bamboo shoots, but in fact it has nothing to do with bamboo shoots. The scientific name for earth bamboo shoots is "starworm", so earth bamboo shoots jelly is actually a frozen food made of a kind of sandworm. For southern Fujian people, earth bamboo shoots jelly is a delicious food that they have been eating since childhood, while for foreigners, it is unacceptable to chew "worms" in their mouths. So foreign tourists come to Fujian Minnan, drum up the courage to taste the earth bamboo shoots jelly, and finally there are a lot of people beat a retreat. Nanjing: live beads live beads believe that many people are not unfamiliar, even if they have not eaten to see a lot of people have eaten. Live beads is Nanjing's specialty food, that is, not yet formed chickens, eggs have formed a clearly visible chicken wings, chicken head, chicken claws. There is a saying circulating on the Internet that if you want to test whether a person is an old Nanking person, take him to eat live beads and you will know. Nanking people can be said to have a deep love for live beads! Live beads have existed in the streets of Nanjing since the Qing Dynasty. But then again, outsiders honestly can't get enough of live beads. After all, how can you eat a chick with a growing brood? NINGHUA: Dried RatsFrom ancient times to the present day, rats, in addition to a place in the zodiac, about rats has always been a very bad reputation. The main reason is that rats live in dirty environments and steal food from crops and homes. In other words, rats are synonymous with the word "dirty". However, the people of Ninghua, Fujian have a passion for dried rats! You heard it right! Rats can really be eaten. But the rats they eat are voles, not rats from the gutter. In addition to Ninghua, Fujian Minbei region is also quite fond of dried rats, a plate of fried dried rats with shredded white radish, is how many people miss the wine dishes, a catty of dried rats priced at a high price, about 60 yuan. Needless to say, let the outsiders to eat dried rats they are a million things to do! Jiangsu: Dandou as the saying goes "planting melon get melon, planting beans get beans", and for the people of Lianyungang, Jiangsu Province, Guanyun County, they planted beans want to get is to grow in the leaves of the plant on the bugs. Dandou, also known as bean bugs, that is, before the mutation of the "foreign spice" caterpillar. Listening to let people goosebumps up all over the body on no? Dandou is Jiangsu Lianyungang Guanyun County's specialty food, is the local people proud of the specialties. Dandou this bug belongs to the pure natural non-toxic insects, soft and delicate taste, eating and a bean flavor, local people especially like to eat. And for outsiders, especially itself to see the caterpillars on the creepy people, how far to avoid the rhythm, not to mention eating into the mouth. Guangning: bamboo worms bamboo worms, from the literal understanding of the bamboo worms, is Guangning people quite a favorite specialty food. Known as the "hometown of bamboo" Guangning, bamboo forest coverage is very wide, up to more than 1 million acres, the types of moso bamboo is quite abundant, the vast bamboo forests have bred a natural food called bamboo worms, locals call "bamboo maggots". For us Fujian Min
For us Fujian Minbei people, we know that bamboo worms are a kind of edible pollution-free insects, but I do not know Guangning people's love for bamboo worms have so deep. Bamboo worms are rich in protein, and after deep-frying, they are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, which is quite refreshing. But outsiders must have expressed their inability to accept bamboo worms, after all, not many people dare to eat worms!
Guizhou: Cow Bean
Heard of beef hot pot, but never heard of cow beak hot pot! It's quite popular in Guizhou. What is "cow yak"? Simply put, it's the grass in the cow's stomach that hasn't been fully digested, and it tastes slightly bitter, accompanied by a smell of "cow dung", which can be described as a truly "strange" food. But it's a favorite of the people of Guizhou!
We all know that beef leaves are a must-have ingredient for hot pot, but Guizhou people favor beef yakiniku (牛瘪火锅). To be honest, if foreigners knew that cow yak-yak is the food residue in a cow's stomach, or saw the process of making cow yak-yak hot pot, they would never accept it! I can only stay away from this kind of food.
Liangshan: package wax

However, there is a specialty of the Yi ethnic group in Liangshan, Sichuan called "BaoLa", which is known for its "strange" appearance and production method.
