When I go out and play, my aim has always been to eat well to have fun. Before setting off to Zhenjiang this time, I searched for anything delicious about Zhenjiang on the Internet early, so I knew about Zhenjiang's special cuisine, there is a saying of "Zhenjiang Three Monsters", and the pot lid noodles are one of the "Zhenjiang Three Monsters".
What's so weird about the pot lid noodles? It is because of the "boiling pot lid in the boiling pot", that is, there will always be a small lid in the large pot of boiling noodles.
This is the next morning when we arrived to eat pot lid noodles on the street, the owner deliberately opened the big pot lid, let us see the small pot lid in the cooking noodle pot, at that time there was a sudden feeling of enlightenment: Oh! Turns out this is the boiling pot lid in the boiling pot! It is one thing to understand it from words, and only when you see it with your own eyes can you have a more real and profound experience.
I remember asking why i had to cook a small lid in a cauldron? The hostess smiled and spoke to us very enthusiastically for half a day, but unfortunately she spoke in the local dialect, although we smiled and made a serious listening look, but we really did not understand a word [cover our faces]
This is belly noodles. There are also snow noodles, tomato noodles, large row noodles... It is the noodles are cooked and picked into the bowl and then poured with soup, and then put different side dishes on the top, there are meat and vegetarian, what is put is what noodles, such as put belly silk is belly silk noodles, snow vegetables are snow vegetable noodles, etc., there are many varieties, choose all in their own likes. You can also eat it without a dry soup.
Zhenjiang's pot lid noodle shops are everywhere, whether it is a high-end hotel or a small shop on the street, there are pot lid noodles, especially near scenic spots, almost all of which are pot lid noodle shops. In the Xijindu Scenic Area and outside Jinshan Park, almost all we saw were pot lid noodle shops. And it is said that the taste inside each shop is different.
In the four meals we ate in Zhenjiang, we ate three pot lid noodles [cover my face] To be honest, I was a little tired of eating, and the two grandfathers were OK.
Since I have already mentioned that there are three monsters of Zhenjiang cuisine, I will mention the other two in passing.
"Zhenjiang balsamic vinegar is not bad". That is to say, after a long time, it is not bad, but the taste of the page is mellow. According to the introduction of Zhenjiang balsamic vinegar "fragrant and slightly sweet, sour and not astringent", I bought a bottle of vinegar for 6 years, and tasted it at home: Bel sour, did not taste sweet.
Meat, also known as crystal hooves.
Another strange thing is "dish meat is not a dish". Pig's trotters are made of nitrate, salt, etc., and Zhenjiang people can use it for breakfast: sip tea, dip the meat into balsamic vinegar, and then on ginger shreds, it is a delicious breakfast.
