Old Beijing occasionally talks about eating a bursting belly

Usually the concept of a burst of belly

Exploding belly should be regarded as a unique food in Beijing. The so-called "belly" is actually the stomach, and the popcorn is to use boiling water to cook the lamb tripe or tripe, and eat it with sesame sauce seasoning. This snack must be halal, so people who are not familiar with halal dietary taboos should pay attention and don't make jokes in the popcorn shop.

There are many ways to eat belly, for example, many halal snack bars will have "offal soup" when buying breakfast, which will have a little belly, and the rest is generally lungs or livers. By the way, in my impression, halal snacks have many titles that are different from those of Hanjiao, for example, for internal organs, halal shops call "offal", And Hanjiao shops call "sewage". For example, wontons, which are known in Chinese buddhism as wontons, seem to be called "lingjiao soup" in halal shops. Because once I went to a snack bar and saw a wonton selling, I ordered a bowl. The waiter, a Beijing uncle who was almost fifty, rolled his eyes at me: "We don't sell ravioli here." I said, "Isn't that one?" The old man said, "Grandpa, that's called diamond horn soup." ”

Another way to eat it is lamb tripe or tripe soup, that is, after washing the lamb tripe or tripe, cut into strips, and boil the soup in the pot. I feel that I should make the soup first, and finally get off the belly, like a pop belly, throw it in and roll it, pour the sesame sauce and pour it inside, and Siri purrs and drinks, and the ventilation is still fragrant. Some practices put a little milk when making soup, and I don't like to drink milk, so I generally don't put it aside.

In addition, there is a halal dish called "Coriander BurstIng Dan". The so-called "Sandan" is actually a lamb's belly, and the word "Dan" should be pronounced with a light sound. The so-called "coriander" is "coriander", the nickname is - coriander. Many halal restaurants have this dish, the level, maybe some people will feel that the difference is very large, for me it is similar.

Coriander bursts into dan

It is said that a lamb belly can be divided into many parts such as sandan, belly kernel, belly collar, food letter, mushroom head, belly plate, etc. The owner can choose to eat each part according to his own preferences. Sometimes I can't blame the belly of a child who does not give much, how big is the stomach of a sheep, even if it chews backwards (reading island teaching, meaning rumination) grows four stomachs, and then divides into so many parts, how many can you say one part can be? You want to come to two pounds of exploding belly and not be able to lose several dead sheep?

I prefer to eat Sandan and belly kernels, mainly because they are tender and delicious after bursting. The popcorn has to cut the sandan into strips and place it on the plate like a flower, black and white, chewing and biting, but not chewing. Instead of slices like some hot pot restaurants, they curl up together after passing through the water. The key is the fire and the problem, there are some long-established popcorn shops, although they also operate shabu-shabu, but when they burst the belly, they are still burst and served. Occasionally, there are eaters who think they can eat and ask for self-reliance, but I have seen several times when the boss has refused such a request, and I guess they cherish their craft. Such as mushroom heads, belly plates, etc. are too hard, and you must have good teeth. Once saw a big master in the popcorn shop, the teeth may not be old. I ordered a plate of mushroom heads, dipped the ingredients in my mouth for almost a quarter of an hour, and then threw up. It is also pleasant to be comfortable, and it is estimated that it is good to instigate the taste.

Belly

There are many shops in Beijing that sell popcorns, so let's talk about some of the more interesting ones in my opinion.

The aforementioned "Jin Shenglong" is one of them, and people originally called it "Burst Belly Feng", which was started by selling Burst Belly. It is said that there are more than ten kinds of popcorns, and although shabu-shabu is also sold, shabu-shabu and popcorn are separated. It looks pretty much the same, and you can feel a little different when you eat it. I can't say how different it is, because I'm really not good at eating. However, I advise everyone that if you want to eat, you must go early. If you leave work at six o'clock in the evening and get far away to catch up with the traffic jam, then forget it, and when you arrive, you will be left with the gourd head.

I have also eaten the explosive belly of Langfang headlines once, as if it was more than ten years ago. At that time, I had just worked, and one day I went to Dashilar with Zhou Kai, a famous opera activist who was about to become famous. After a journey, it was time for dinner, and Zhou Kai proposed to eat "Bursting Belly Feng", walked through the cramped alley, and stopped at the door of an old door face with a very 80s flavor. I remembered that next to it was the moon festival, and we also bought some sauce meat. It was still snowing that day, and it was getting dark soon. Zhou Kai and I sat under the large window next to the entrance of the store, and with some clear snowflakes and dim lights outside the window, we "fanned" a hot pot and ordered a plate of exploding belly. The impression is indeed more delicious, but the specific taste is not clear, because I ate less, basically all eaten by Zhou Kai, the end of the matter or I bought the bill. Later, "Burst belly Feng" moved away, and I never went to the new store again.

The area around the front door at that time should have been like this

"Burst belly Zhang", this shop is already very famous. Because he is on the lake in the back sea, there are many tourists. When the road in Houhai had not yet been remodeled, the store was tens of meters east of the Silver Ingot Bridge, and the window was less than two meters from the water. It was really a broken eaves, and the door was broken. If you don't see customers eating from the window, it's no different from the house that has just been vacated and is waiting to be demolished. The room is also narrow, that is, three or two tables. I once invited Mr. Liu Lianqun to have a drink and invited Mr. Lu Ziming to accompany me, which is here. At first, neither gentleman believed it was a restaurant. After the exploding belly is served, it is immediately impressive. Mr. Liu praised him one after another, and told me afterwards that he especially liked this kind of atmosphere of sunset, small restaurants on the street, two or three colleagues, and a pleasant drink.

Later, Mr. Liu also proposed that he wanted to go there, so I had to say to him: "That place has been demolished." Mr. Liu was disappointed. Fortunately, it wasn't long before the store reopened not far from the east side of the original site, and the original site became an open space. Although the windows are bright and clean, the walls are mostly literati inscriptions. But there is always a lack of original fun in the market. I once met Mr. Shi Xiaoliang, a famous Peking opera artist here, and saw that he was particularly devoted to eating, and there was a cage on the side, presumably it was a hurry, so I didn't bother to bother.

In the northeast corner of the Guangqumen overpass, there was once a particularly dilapidated small house, which looked like an illegal construction from the outside. But the popping belly is really extraordinary. However, it is estimated that it has now been razed to the ground.

Bursting belly should be regarded as a very civilian food, the earliest time is the roadside stalls, people come and go, eat as they go. It belongs to the snack of "eating and playing with the mouth". Now most of them are the characteristics of some snack bars, but the price of beef and mutton is not low, so the price of the popcorn is generally not cheap, and it is estimated that it is hundreds of dollars if you want to eat it.
