For drinkers, if there is only one bottle of wine on the table, it will inevitably be a bit boring. But if you add a few more appetizers, even the most bland and tasteless wine will instantly sublimate into a great wine! Snacks and wine can be very interesting, but they are naturally natural. And the types of snacks we Chinese are also the best in the world - braised pig ears, peanuts, cucumbers, sliced beef, cold fish skin, salt and pepper duck tongue...... All of them are good and mouth-watering!
Of course, drinking and eating snacks is not the patent of Chinese, but the consensus of global drinkers, I don't know if everyone is curious, what will foreigners eat when they drink? Let's take a look!
Japan
(1) Edamame: "Beer and edamame" is one of the most classic Japanese combinations. Edamame can be boiled in salted water and eaten, and a small bowl can be bought for 100 yen (5 yuan RMB) at an izakaya. The taste and texture of the beans are a bit similar to boiled soybeans, and the flavor is not too strong.
(2) Fried chicken cartilage: It is taken from chicken wings or chicken thigh cartilage, seasoned with cartilage, coated in flour and fried until golden brown. Crispy texture, sprinkled with a little pepper salt and lemon juice, fresh and with a little greasy aroma, you won't get tired of eating as much as you want.
Korea
(1) Live octopus: Live octopus is a unique and authentic delicacy, especially popular with fishermen by the sea. Fresh octopus is cut into strips and the head is cut off from the eye to provide a chewing part. Although the octopus is known for its unique eating experience, it is often called a "dangerous" delicacy because of the abnormal adsorption of live octopus and the risk of suffocation due to its blockage of the trachea.
(2) Kimchi Tofu: Kimchi mixed with fresh meat slices and stir-fried, and then paired with hot tofu to create a delicious dish that goes well with wine. The sour and spicy kimchi flavor combined with the soju makes people whet the appetite, while the addition of tofu not only adds layers of flavor but also enhances satiety.
Russia
(1) Caviar: Caviar is an extremely "expensive" food for us, but in Russia, caviar is a very common food, and the caviar produced in Russia is more reasonable and loved by the locals. Russians often pair this unique food with bread or spirits to enjoy its unique and stimulating taste buds.
(2) Sour cucumbers: Due to the long winters and extremely short summers in Russia, such natural conditions have led to a preference for meat and a relative lack of vegetables. And among the rare vegetables, pickled cucumbers are the most favored. Their pickled cucumber is unique in that the cucumber strips are pickled with strong seasonings such as vinegar and mustard seeds, which has a strong flavor with obvious sourness and special flavor, which can be said to be quite a "heavy taste" with Russian characteristics.
(3) Canned herring: The reputation of canned herring is more or less controversial in the food world, and many people believe that it emits a sour smell when it is opened, which is more intimidating than stinky tofu or durian.
But the "notorious" one usually refers to the one made in Sweden, and the canned herring that Russians often eat is less heavy, more fragrant and more mouth-watering in color. Young and old alike can't resist its unique charm as an accompaniment.
