In the eyes of foreigners, China is the strangest food. It looks scary and tastes delicious. Do you know what this is?

Take a stroll to see the world, and walk around the world in no hurry. I'm Liu Lijun. Today, I will talk about preserved eggs, a China delicacy that makes foreigners' souls tremble. Preserved eggs, also known as preserved eggs, are ancient traditional food unique to China. As early as the Tang Dynasty, the ancients had invented this special food. Preserved eggs are made of duck eggs as the main raw material, and then mixed with quicklime, caustic soda, salt and plumbum preparatium powder to make a paste, which is wrapped and pickled.

Look at these raw materials. Except duck eggs, all other chemicals are completely inedible. Incredibly, these seemingly "dark dishes" have "created" a unique food. From this point of view, I really admire the inventor of preserved eggs, who dared to try this method from the beginning.

Preserved eggs, like coriander, are a kind of food that people love and hate. Some people like it very much, while others can't stand it at all. Especially for foreigners, preserved eggs are simply "dark dishes" for them!

Many years ago, the roaming program of CNN made a selection of "the strangest food in Asia". Surprisingly, China's preserved eggs were ranked first, even the Philippine wood borer and Cambodian fried tarantula, which sounded terrible, were ranked behind the preserved eggs.

It turns out that foreigners think they have never seen black eggs. Black eggs with patterns look scary and taste strange, which is unbearable.

A foreigner said, "This is simply preserved eggs made by the devil. Once foreign media listed preserved eggs as "the most disgusting food in the world", and in some American games, preserved eggs were also eaten as a punishment. I often see some foreign friends posting photos of eating preserved eggs for the first time. Judging from the expression of "pain", preserved eggs simply make their souls tremble!

In fact, the different views on food stem from the differences between Chinese and western food cultures, because the long-term accumulated food preparation methods are different, and it is understandable that Chinese and western people have resistance to each other's "strange" food. I believe many friends are reluctant to eat many wonderful foods when traveling abroad.
