Does beggar chicken, a kind of food culture buried in the soil, exist in the west?

Beggar Chicken: It is a famous Chinese dish in the south of the Yangtze River, which originated in Changshu, Jiangsu, China. It belongs to Jiangsu and Zhejiang cuisine. With a long history, it is usually a special dish made by wrapping the processed chicken with soil and lotus leaves and baking it.

For me, the first thing that comes to mind is beggar chicken. In fact, there are delicious foods buried in the soil for cooking all over the world, and this kind of treatment is not uncommon.

India: Dunduri chicken is not only the practice of beggar chickens in China to roast chicken in underground soil, but also a kind of roast chicken in India called Dunduri chicken. Authentic practice, this market needs a special earthen stove to cook. You need to cook the chicken in a clay oven. First, add special ingredients to the chicken, and then bake it vertically in the oven. You can also paste baked cakes and other foods on the side wall of the clay oven and cook at the same time. It's delicious! Nowadays, this kind of earthen stove is not common. Nowadays, most tandoori chickens are made in the oven. Although the taste may be more delicious with the upgrading of ingredients, it is a pity that it lacks the unique flavor of the oven.

Mexico: Everyone has eaten some Mexican food to some extent. Mexican food is rich and colorful, and it is a flavor worth trying. This underground roast mutton is very popular with local people. Perhaps the love of barbecue is engraved in everyone's genes. Mutton roasted with hot stones tastes different from that roasted with fire, and wrapped with banana leaves, it will inevitably stick to the fragrance of plants. I really thought it would drool!

What I want most is lotus leaf beggar chicken. Although I haven't eaten beggar chicken, I've been hearing about its delicacy, and I dream of tasting authentic beggar chicken one day. In view of my own cooking in the kitchen, despite watching countless recipes and cooking videos, this dream was shelved.
