Foreigners usually do not eat the internal organs and organs of animals, and when eating, they are mainly based on meat, especially the pig intestine, which stores the feed after the pig chews, they feel very dirty, and they also smell fishy, and there is a thick layer of fat oil, which is really difficult for them to try. In fact, not only do foreigners dare not try easily, but many Chinese people cannot accept pig intestines.
The delicious taste of pig intestines can only be understood by those who have eaten them, and the processed intestines not only have no fishy smell, but also have a fresh flavor of soft glutinous tendons.
Pig intestine is also the signature dish in many cuisines, like the nine-turn large intestine in Lu cuisine, which shows the wonderful taste of the large intestine very well, as well as the famous dishes of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, such as the fat intestines of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the fat intestines of Sichuan's jiangyou, the fat intestines of dry pots, etc., each of which is delicious on the tip of the tongue.

But even this delicacy that we hold in the palm of our hands is thrown directly into the garbage dump abroad, and they don't understand why Chinese love to eat this chicken claw that looks scary like a human hand.
In addition, when the chicken is active, the chicken feet have been touching the ground, which means that it will be contaminated with bacteria, dust, etc., and foreigners think that it is a very dirty part, which makes them psychologically unable to accept the delicacy of chicken feet, of course, pig trotters are the same in their eyes.
Second, the skin egg
Crystal clear, Q bullet skin eggs, is the favorite of many Chinese, cold mixed skin egg tofu, beaten pepper skin egg, etc. are very fragrant rice, especially on the New Year table is indispensable to the shadow of skin eggs. But it was this peeled egg made from duck eggs or eggs that was once ranked first by a foreign agency as "the world's most disgusting food", and some people gave the evaluation of "eggs laid by the devil".
In the eyes of foreigners, the leather egg is a spoiled egg, the appearance looks black, and there is a slimy green stream in the middle, like mold, which is difficult to accept, and there is a strange smell when eaten, and even Bell, the "wild survival adventure expert", is afraid of the leather egg. If it is not Chinese from snacks to large, it is estimated that the first reaction seen is also difficult to swallow.
First, hairy eggs
Hair eggs, also known as live beads, are a special snack in Nanjing, and are also sold in Henan, Anhui and other places. The hairy egg is when the egg has not fully hatched into a chick, the egg already has a chicken head, wings, chicken feet and other prototypes, but due to external factors, the chick can not hatch successfully and "dies" in the eggshell, people will make it to eat.
People who have eaten hair eggs know its deliciousness, eggs hide very tender meat and juice, fresh enough to be comparable to puffer fish meat, and the nutritional value is not low, in the Qing Dynasty was used as a treasure of food supplements. But after the foreigner saw the hairy egg, he would only feel terrible, and he did not dare to try it.
