Among the many cuisines in Beijing,
There are some more "personalities",
Like what bean juice, brine fire, mustard mound...
Those who are not accustomed to eating them,
They were also nicknamed "Weird" snacks.
But as far as the editor is concerned,
I didn't find anything strange about them.
But from an objective point of view:
The reason why they have "personality" is that they are "strange" snacks,
More or less because
There are some things about themselves that the public cannot accept
Today,
Xiaobian will come to talk to you
Those years
The "strange taste" snack that is often complained about by netizens.
01 Mustard Pier
You don't say that the taste of this mustard pier is a little peculiar, with cabbage and mustard as the main raw materials, people who do not like to eat mustard are really unable to accept it. But then again, the charm of the mustard pier is not in this "momentum", a small sip can make people full of transparency, in front of people who love to eat it, but even the soup can not be missed, mustard drill nose, this tear can not stop flowing down ah.
In the past, in the winter, every household began to prepare for the winter, and the most important thing to do wasabi wasabi, in order to prevent interruption, especially in the New Year, the big oil and meat ate too much, and had to change the taste. But now it's rare for someone to do it at home.
02 bean juice
When it comes to Beijing snacks, many people first think of bean juice.

People often ask the editor: "Do you Beijingers all love to drink bean juice", it is really not! Just like Sichuan people can't all eat spicy, I have a colleague, an authentic Beijinger, who can't swallow a mouthful of bean juice.

The magic of bean juice, a sour, sour with a strange smell of rot. Second, in the hot, can only suck and suck the drink, can not be poured. Three in the spicy of the pickles, the tip of the tongue is numb. The hotter the drink, the hotter the drink, and finally the sweat. When I was a child, I drank bean juice in the summer, stripping off my spine first, then drinking it, and then putting on my clothes when I was sweating. ——Excerpted from Liang Shiqiu's "Yashe Talks About Eating"
People who love to drink it, buy bean juice, are carrying a large Coke bottle (big barrel) to fight, people who do not like to drink it, smell it, will run away.
03 Burst belly
Whenever it is late autumn and early winter, many vendors and halal restaurants in Beijing begin to sell popcorns, dipped in special sesame sauce to eat, plus curd milk, leek flowers, green onions, etc., crispy and enjoyable, eat a bite of endless aftertaste.
The stomach of a watery sheep and a cow does not seem to have any appetite, although for some locals, eating for a lifetime is not enough, but for most foreigners, it is almost unacceptable.
04 Haggis offal
"White soup haggis" is the old Beijing common people like to eat food, the so-called "white soup", the haggis, add seasonings into the pot of water to cook. Generally need to cook for more than an hour, the longer the time, the whiter the soup color, the thicker the soup flavor. But you can't call it "clear soup haggis", because the soup is oily again.
Haggis is very difficult to clean, but for safety and hygiene, not only repeated cleaning, but also washed with vinegar, alkaline water, and then rinsed with clean water.
The people of Beijing eat haggis soup at home, paying attention to "freshness". I bought a fresh pair of sheep and five organs from the morning market, cooked it in a pot, and the soup with meat was light and delicious. The general haggis soup is indispensable to the "old five": heart, stomach, lungs, liver, head.
05 ginger juice steak fork
Ginger steak fork, also known as ginger shredded steak fork. Friends who don't like to eat ginger, I'm afraid I'll feel a headache when I hear the name, right?
But you don't stop here because of its name and ginger taste, since ancient times, there are "eat radish in winter and eat ginger in summer, don't need a doctor to prescribe medicine" and "ginger cures all diseases", so eating some ginger appropriately is excellent for the body. So, the next time you see a shop that sells ginger shredded forks, you may wish to buy it and try it

06 Hemp bean tofu
Ma tofu is also a feature of our Beijing, as early as the Ming Dynasty appeared, due to the heavy taste of the sheep fat used, some people can not accept, but there are also many good people who have this mouthful. If you go to a slightly more elaborate shop to order hemp tofu, the waiter will definitely ask you: "Do you want mutton oil or vegetarian oil", sheep fat must be mutton oil!
07 Brine Boil over high heat
Beijing loves to eat sewage, and is most famous for its iron triangle composed of boiled fire, fried belly and fried liver. Then, let's talk about the brine boiling fire that foreign friends can't accept.
Fishy smell, can not swallow, this is the most comments on the Internet on the brine boiling fire. But for Beijingers who love to eat this mouthful, pig lungs that suck enough soup, pig intestines with chewing heads... If you are not afraid of eating too much and your health is not good, it is no problem to eat all three meals a day.
08 Fried liver
Perhaps because of the pig intestines, fried liver is not accepted by everyone. nevertheless! Liver sausage fat, garlic fragrant it still occupies a place in the hearts of many diners. Like me, at least two bowls at a time!
"Give me two or two more buns."
09 Wang Zhi and Stinky Bean Rot
When it comes to stinky tofu in Beijing, the first thing that comes to mind is Wang Zhihe. Smear it on the freshly fried steamed bun slices and nest slices, take a bite, and it is really not changed for the emperor! Use it as a topping for noodles, and it's even better!
In the hearts of many people, Wang Zhi is no different from stinky tofu and canned herring, don't say eat, as soon as you open the lid, you can smoke away a lot of people.
10 Poria cakes
This is a traditional dim sum in old Beijing, the skin is as thin as paper, and it tastes good, but the taste is not very acceptable to outsiders. Because although this dessert tastes sweet, it tastes like Chinese medicine.
But for Beijingers, it is very easy to accept,
Because it not only tastes good, but also has a tonic effect.
