<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="3" > Fujian: soil shoot jelly</h1>
In the southern Fujian region, there is a local specialty called "soil shoot jelly". The frost of the earth shoots seems to be inextricably linked to the bamboo shoots, but in fact it has nothing to do with the bamboo shoots. The scientific name of the earth shoot is "star worm", so the earth shoot jelly is actually a frozen food made of sand worms.
For the Minnan people, the soil shoot jelly is their delicacy from snack to big, and for outsiders, it is really unacceptable for "bugs" to chew in their mouths. Therefore, foreign tourists came to Fujian Minnan and plucked up the courage to taste the soil shoot jelly, and finally many people retreated.

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="11" >: dried rats</h1>
From ancient times to the present, in addition to the fact that rats occupy a place in the zodiac, the wind evaluation of rats has always been very poor. Mainly because rats live in dirty places all year round and steal crops and food from home. In other words, rats are synonymous with the word "dirty." However, the People of Ninghua, Fujian Province, have a special love for dried rats!
You heard that right! Rats can really eat. It's just that the rats they eat are field mice, not rats in the gutters. In addition to Ninghua, Fujian minbei region is also quite fond of dried rats, a plate of white radish shredded fried dried rats, how many people's hearts and minds of the appetizer, a pound of dried rats is expensive, about 60 yuan. Needless to say, it is impossible for outsiders to eat rats and them!
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="15" > Jiangsu: Dandou</h1>
As the saying goes, "Planting melons gets melons, planting beans gets beans", but for people in Guanyun County, Lianyungang, Jiangsu Province, what they want to get when they plant beans is bugs that grow on the leaves of the plant.

Dandou this insect belongs to the pure natural non-toxic insect class, the taste is soft and delicate, and there is a bean flavor when eaten, which is especially liked by locals. And for outsiders, especially those who see caterpillars on their own creepy bones, how far to hide from the rhythm, let alone eat into the mouth.

Bamboo insects, literally known as the insects in bamboo, are a special food that The people of Quang Ninh love. Known as the "hometown of bamboo" in Guangning, the bamboo forest coverage rate is very wide, up to more than 1 million acres, moso bamboo species are quite abundant, the vast bamboo forest gave birth to a natural cuisine called bamboo worms, locals called "bamboo maggots".
For us people in northern Fujian, we know that bamboo insects are a edible pollution-free insect, but we don't know that Guangning people have such a deep love for bamboo insects. Bamboo worms are rich in protein, and after frying, they are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, which is quite refreshing. However, outsiders must have expressed their inability to accept bamboo insects, after all, there are not many people who dare to eat insects!
