Shandong, the birthplace of Lu cuisine. Here the folk customs are simple, the hospitality is luxurious, the food is large plates and large bowls are rich and affordable, pay attention to the excellent texture of raw materials, use salt to freshen, soup to strengthen freshness, seasoning to emphasize salty and fresh pure, highlight the original taste. In particular, the cooking of sea treasures and small seafood is a must. Shandong's seafood, whether ginseng, wings, swallows, shellfish, or scales, oysters, shrimps and crabs, can be cooked by local chefs and can become exquisite and delicious dishes. At the same time, Shandong is also unique in folk snacks. Today, I will take you to see the top 10 alternative food snacks in Shandong, which are regarded as delicious by locals, and foreign diners cannot be satisfied.
1, Laizhou raw choking pike crab
Raw choking pike crab can definitely be regarded as a special dish in Laizhou, although there are pickled crabs in other places, but The pickling method in Laizhou is its own school and the taste is very different. There are only two ways to choke. One is the traditional boiling of peppercorns, star anise and salt and then let it cool, and then put the live seafood in; the other is to use high liquor to directly put the live seafood in.
After a fermentation period, it takes more than ten days to eat. Locals describe the opening of the altar to take crabs, the fresh aroma, overflowing a room, a large bowl of wine, sucking raw crabs as a dish, to a god does not change. Xiaobian often goes to Yantai for business trips, and the local food snacks have also eaten a lot, but the raw choking crab can not be accepted, this taste is really indescribable.
2, Texas sheep intestines
Shandong Dezhou sheep intestines, this stuff out of Decheng District almost did not sell, before to Dezhou business trips often see locals spend four yuan to a bowl, and then a dollar of fire, to see people eat really strong. The local practice is to boil the lamb bone soup, the sheep intestines are cleaned to the remaining casings, infused with sheep blood, starch, and spices cooked in the lamb bone broth, fished out with the soup, sprinkled with coriander, cumin, pepper, leek flowers. According to local friends, there are people who love to eat heavy taste can choose intestines with mutton oil, fat oil is attached to the mesentery, the average person is disgusted with eating, good this bite is very enjoyable.
I once ate the sheep intestines in Cangzhou, Hebei Province, Cangzhou sheep intestine soup is not salty, need to season themselves, spices are on the table, take them at hand, sprinkle a little salt, a little MSG, pepper is essential, to put a little more, the spicy taste will make you drink comfortably. There are also those who like to add a little vinegar to the sour taste, and then add spicy soy sauce, all according to personal preference. However, the taste of Texas sheep intestines is indeed a bit heavy, and several attempts have not been used to its taste, and it is precisely because of this that Texas sheep intestines have not been spread to other regions.
3. Weifang Chaotian pot
Due to work reasons, I often contact family planning drug stations in various provinces and cities, so I have visited shandong more times, and Weifang has not been much, but its snacks have a deep memory. The famous one is chaotian pot, when I heard that I wanted to eat this, I couldn't help but wonder, which pot is not "chaotian"? Is there also a pot "facing the ground"? Why is it called Chaotian Pot? It is estimated that many people in Laowei County may not be able to explain this problem clearly.
How to eat the chaotian pot? Quite simply, it's a bread roll with sesame salt. The cake is a single-layer cake of local "hammer" baking, the meat is a large pot of boiled pig water, some shops focus on the original taste, and some shops like to add dozens of flavors to nourish Chinese herbs, this is a matter of opinion. Later, meatballs, braised pork, local specialties fried spiced meat, shredded potatoes, and shredded radish were added. Xiaobian is accustomed to Eating Beijing's Brine, but the taste of the pig sewage in the Chaotian pot is very heavy, and it is difficult to accept it at the same time, and it is estimated that if you want to get used to this taste, you need to taste more, just like the old Beijing brine.
4, Linyi stinky salt beans
In the Linyi area of Lunan, there is an alternative cuisine called stinky salt beans or stinky beans. Due to the delicate production process, the finished product is black and red in color, crisp and tender in texture, salty and spicy in taste, and is a classic side dish that accompanies the appetizer of wine. As the old local saying goes: Pancake rolls salt beans, three meals a day are not enough. Stinky salt beans are loved in Linyi and northern Jiangsu, both men and women, young and old. Of course, the "classic" here is for locals, and its smell is something that outsiders will not be able to accept for a while and a half.
5. Qingdao Laoshan White Flower Snake Grass Water
Some time ago I went to Qingdao, after the meal local friend threw me a bottle of white flower snake grass water, I with a sincere heart, slowly opened the bottle cap, in the empty street, with the soothing of the night, the starry sky, I slowly put my nose close to the bottle mouth, closed my eyes, slowly took a deep breath - a faint fragrance, filled my nasal cavity, in the trance of intoxication, I seem to see the end of the world.
At this moment, I seem to be on the other side of the cloud, flying freely on the distant nebula - I feel a coolness falling down my throat into my stomach, my mouth is filled with a faint fragrance of grass mats, and the world is bright, just like the afternoon grassland, a gust of grass fragrance drifts away with the wind.
Immediately after, I felt as if I had been wearing two years of unwashed socks on my feet that had not been washed for a year, and still covered in a pair of airtight tourist shoes, and the smell of sweat that finally evaporated, along my esophagus, climbed into my mouth little by little, and this smell twisted wildly, galloping, merging with my mouth and invading every crevice.
I trembled and groped out a piece of effervescent flakes, orange-flavored, and then trembled and threw them into the snake grass water, I hoped that the effervescent slices could make this damn water a little more delicious, after all, the snake grass water is also a bit steamy, maybe so, it is a beautiful year. With a throbbing sensation of the delicacy, I took a big sip, then closed my eyes—squirting a cloud of orange-yellow unknown liquid onto a small tree on the side of the road. I bought a box before leaving, and gave it to my colleagues to taste when I went back.
