Everyone's tastes are different, and some things are liked by some people and disliked by others, which leads to controversial foods. For example, peeled eggs, even Beiye did not dare to eat, once rated as the world's most disgusting food. Another example is the expensive canned herring, which smells sick and smells incomprehensibly. There is also one of the most expensive coffees in the world, cat coffee, coffee beans from the belly of the musk cat, and then extracted and processed into it.
In addition, bean juice, natto, coriander, durian are also more controversial, and in the 18th century, the colonial period also had a strange recipe. These recipes look exaggerated, unappetizing, and even a little disgusting in modern people. Most of them are no longer produced, but at the time, it was a favorite food for American colonists. Today, let's take stock of the 14 kinds of disgusting and strange foods that Americans ate in the 18th century, do you know?
Beaver's tail, it is a small expert at damming waterways, diving time can reach fifteen minutes. It looks like a rat, has a fat body, a flat tail that acts as a rudder when swimming in the water, and the fur of the beaver is very precious. At the beginning of the sixteenth century, europeans colonized the New World and discovered this business opportunity, and the fur trade flourished while meat was also targeted. Americans think that the tail of the beaver is very fat, but some people think that it is gamma-flavored fat.
Chocolate is mixed with ambergris, chocolate is nothing unusual, what is strange is that it is mixed with ambergris. Ambergris is actually a dried product of sperm whale's intestinal endocrine, and some sperm whales will spit it out, and some will be excreted from the intestine. It is difficult to say where the sperm whale came from, but it is now used as a perfume fixer, but the American colonists in the eighteenth century used it to mix with chocolate as a delicacy.
Calf hoof jelly, a little more normal than the above two, this is the gelatin that appears when cooking calf hooves. Oyster ice cream, modern people in pursuit of curiosity, will make a variety of strange food. Oyster ice cream is also one of them, in fact, As early as the eighteenth century, Americans have been eating it in combination. The difference is that modern people are quite disgusted as hunting foods, but people in the eighteenth century find it delicious.
Eel pie is generally considered to be more concentrated in Japan, but colonial Americans also loved it. Pepperloaf, salty with sweetness, soft and delicious. This kind of food is still relatively delicious, and it has also been invented in China, but there are slight differences in the addition of ingredients. People in the eighteenth century liked it mainly because it could show its identity, and the pepper that was passed down at that time was still a luxury. Stewed swans, toads want to eat swan meat, and the colonists want to eat swan meat even though they are not toads.
Cider, like stewed swans, is one of the dishes of the past copied from Britain. There is also British ketchup, which is said to be ketchup, but it is related to tomatoes that cannot be beaten by eight rods. It's a sauce of mushrooms, walnuts, oysters, and anchovies, which look strange and have a dark flavor. Lobster, which was a common food in colonial times, was even associated with the poor, slaves, and prisoners.
Curds, curd itself is a food that is a bit like yogurt, but the colonists like to add pepper, cinnamon and so on. This seems a little strange, I don't know if the pepper is added for the sake of display or seasoning. Turtle broth, turtle, was one of the most fashionable foods of the eighteenth century. Wealthy families are particularly fond of it, but unlike Chinese have the impression of boiling with tonics such as traditional Chinese medicine and dates, and they use wine and butter.
Cow's milk, cream, eggs, flour, beer, both taste and appearance are very good. It was very popular for weddings, and most of the people in the colonies used cow's milk as a drink when they got married. The last one is the minced meatloaf, which is not appropriate to say bread, but more accurately bread.
It is a kind of bread made from pork crumbs and cornmeal, and the pork crumbs mentioned here are not as usually understood. It was the heart and liver, which in the eyes of the colonists were wasteful parts to be thrown away. The whole piece is rarely eaten, cut into small crumbs, and mixed in bread to be loved.
