China gastronomic

Blogger Stanislav Kaznov writes: “During my stay in Chinese cities, I checked the statement that the Chinese eat everything that moves. In fact, it came out a little different with the prefix "can eat." Their main product, of course, is noodles, both instant and handmade. It is eaten everywhere and anywhere, and in the process of absorption it is desirable to champ loudly, thereby expressing your pleasure from the process of absorption and taste of food. I would not say that the taste of noodles is different from ours, but some samples are truly thermonuclear sharp to tears. By the way, I haven’t forgotten about the spiciness yet: I ate spicy hamburgers at McDonald’s — it made an impression, very tasty! In general, China is a gastronomic paradise - you can find almost any food and for every taste, I have not seen only rye bread ... "

1. I'll probably start with the most tempting sight. In fact, these are tourist attractions located on separate streets in large cities: in Beijing, this is the so-called "glutton" street adjacent to Wangfujin, in Xi'an, these are the streets of the Muslim quarter. The Chinese themselves do not eat insects, well, at least I have not seen it. I wouldn’t talk about some special taste either, because it’s not there) Scorpions are tasteless seeds, silkworm larvae are fatter, but also for the sake of one time, but llama meat, here you can feel the taste (the only thing, we thought the whole trip where the llamas and was it a rat or a fox).

2. Scorpions are cooked alive. They move on sticks. Choose your favorite stick with three individuals, fry it in front of you in oil, sprinkle with salt or seasonings and that's it, the dish is ready. There is nothing terrible. The peel in the mouth is more than a taste sensation. Absorbed whole, cost 10 yuan for 3 individuals.

5. There is also a lot of various cooked food from marine reptiles and it diverges faster.

6. I didn’t try larger scorpions, because I thought that they hardly differ in taste from small ones. If anyone has tried it please tell me how?

7. There are a lot of dumplings, this is also one of the top Chinese dishes. They are stuffed with whatever they can. There are restaurants in which a separate dish is called "Pelmeni Banquet" - they bring you 25 types.

8. Seahorses did not cause my appetite, I did not try them.

9. Sweets sea! There are especially a lot of various sweets, they are sold in large packages and are very edible. By the way, I was looking for sweets with the taste of meat, but I did not find it.

10. Kefirchik is sold everywhere in such clay pots with a straw. It costs 2 yuan. Drink and give the pot back to the seller.

12. Cooking on sticks is very common, it is quite convenient to use a plate.

14. And here is the so-called llama meat ... Who will advise, an interesting taste. It costs 20 yuan/stick.

15. Kuznetsov also pardoned, did not eat.

16. Smells and the somewhat unsanitary appearance of cooking places can reduce appetite a little, but then someone will be as lucky. You need to have Imodium with you as the last cartridge.

21. I was seen eating noodles on the northern peak in Huashan.

23. Dumplings.

24. By the way, the Chinese dictionary began to help us a lot, among the hieroglyphs we began to distinguish tea, meat, fish ... As a rule, there is no English menu, and there is a problem with pictures, so I advise you to take a dictionary. All prices are indicated in yuan, and they are denoted by a hieroglyph as a "pi" icon (3.14) with a dash on top.

27. This thing, fried in batter, turned out to be extremely useless in my opinion. This crab is fried in batter, but it is unpeeled, which causes great inconvenience in its use.

28. Small pancakes are delicious! Inside is hot meat, various spices, potatoes and vegetables. Overeating!

29. Soups sea and they are different. The main thing is that they bring them in huge portions and often with a ladle, so everyone should not order one.

31. Seafood is made from live ingredients. We weighed the shrimp, they boiled them immediately. Most marine reptiles are laid out on the street in plastic containers filled with water with oxygen supplied to it. You won’t be left without food in China, that’s for sure, everywhere there are both elite restaurants and micro eateries, where the food is by no means worse, and the service, by the way, is much faster. There were moments. when they ate something, but did not fully understand what. So, in Huashan, we bought boiled corn and, as it seemed to us, a tuber of fried potatoes, but it turned out not to be a potato, but a very strange vegetable. It is a pity that the Chinese woman could not explain to us about him.

32. Buying a tuber..)

33. He! Tuber! What is it who knows?

34. The menu in most cases looks like this

There were no cases of body disorder during meals, so enjoy your meal.
