I enjoy traveling because in addition to being able to see different landscapes, each place will have local specialties that I have never eaten before.
Before May Day, I went to Taiyuan, Shanxi. Ask me why I went to a non-touristy city? I thought about it, maybe, I'm tired of eating rice and want to eat Shanxi noodles. After all, there is a saying that "the food under the sky looks at China, and the Chinese pasta belongs to Shanxi." "When it comes to pasta in Shanxi, everyone's first reaction must be to cut the noodles with a knife."
And I'm a kind of person who likes to try foods that I haven't eaten or seen, and there are only two kinds of results that dare to try, one is "Wow, it's delicious." The other is, "What's this thing?" "This time in Taiyuan, I did not eat knife cut noodles, nor did I eat noodles, because these I have eaten in Ningbo, want to try the fresh, I searched from the public reviews, found that taiyuan Liu Lane that there is a food street, a look at the name is delicious, I plan to go to the food street to find special noodles."
As I followed the navigation, I passed a shop called Haggis Cutter.
Found that there are many diners eating inside, and there are many queues at the door,
On the wall hangs district-level intangible cultural heritage.
I thought to myself: intangible cultural heritage, whether he is at the district level or the municipal level, it is an intangible cultural heritage, and it is only half past ten, there are so many people who eat it, it should be very delicious, try it first and then say. I saw that there were not many varieties on the price list on the wall,
This provides a lot of convenience for friends with choice difficulties. I saw a large cauldron in the shop, and the milky white soup in the pot emitted a rich aroma.
Bowls of haggis and lamb were lined up there,
Waiting to get off the pot. While queuing, the diners and the owner in front of them were heard saying, "A meat, a loaf, a twist." "When it was my turn, I learned the words of the diners in front of me and ordered according to the gourd.
Only to see the master, three times five divided by two at once the haggis soup is boiled,
Then I took the meal, and when I was looking for a seat, the clerk said to me, "Add the green onion and coriander and garlic here." "When I saw that everyone went to the feeding table and added something, I went with the flow and added some coriander, asking me why I didn't add green onions and garlic? This green onion is not the kind of shallot, it is a green onion, I really can't add it, and I, a native of the south, really can't stand the heavy taste of raw garlic. Then he found an empty seat and began to eat.
Although the name is called haggis soup, it is not only a soup, but also a vermicelli. First taste a mouthful of soup, sure enough, full of umami ah, a taste to know that there is no added flavor or something, very mellow haggis soup, the taste and lubrication, just walked so much road, some thirsty, even drank several sips are not greasy. And haggis has a sheep's heart and lamb's belly, what to have, casually clipped a piece of haggis to eat,
It was very fresh, and most importantly, it didn't taste like any lamb. Take another bite of the vermicelli, more tenacious, this bowl of haggis soup is really good. Then, expectantly, I took a bite of the shortbread that the locals call "bread",
I thought to myself, hey, how come there's no taste in this? Is it that there is a problem with my own sense of taste, I took another bite, it is really light, it is still soft, but it is dry, and I soaked this cake into haggis soup, just like eating lamb steamed buns.
The cake that had been soaked in delicious soup was not only moist to eat, but also had the deliciousness of haggis, and when I was secretly impressed by my wit, the girl who shared the table and her mother said: "This cake is really delicious, but it is much better than our family's own cooking." I looked up at her, did not soak in the soup, just eat lightly, I was stunned, thinking: a bite of cake a mouthful of soup so eat, delicious? She might have seen me looking at her and asked me, "Did you come from out of town to play here?" I replied, "Yeah, how do you know?" "Haha, I guessed it by looking at the way you eat this cake, we people rarely have this way of eating." She couldn't help but laugh.
I smiled awkwardly, and in order to hide my embarrassment, I picked up the hemp flower and ate it, before I ate it, I thought that this twist flower was the same as the oil zanzi on our side, it was the kind of spray crisp,
Who knows, a bite is a little hard, not very good to bite the feeling, and like the shortbread, there is no taste, just eat the taste of oil, I raised an eyebrow, whispered: "This thing is back to the tide?" This sentence was heard by the girl who shared the table, and she said to me: "This is how our twist flower is, not damp." "Okay." I smiled awkwardly again, and could only pull away from the topic and asked: "Little sister, I see that it is written on the outside as intangible cultural heritage, is there any special origin of this haggis?" The girl replied proudly, "Of course, since the Yuan Dynasty, we Taiyuan people have been eating haggis for hundreds of years, and the name of this miscellaneous cut is still given by Kublai Khan's mother." It is said that in the ninth year of Emperor Yuanxianzong, when Kublai Khan led his troops from Jin to the Central Plains, his mother contracted an illness and was cured by Xu Guozhen, a famous doctor in Quwo County, so he became the imperial doctor of Kublai Khan's mother, Xu Mother Han was good at cooking, and he served the empress dowager with his son, and when Han saw the Mongols eating mutton, it was a pity to discard the water, so he picked up the sheep sewage and washed it.
Cooked with green onions, peppers to eat, its taste is very beautiful, after the queen taste, praise is not stopped, it was given the name - haggis cut, since then has become a folk flavor snack. "The origin of this haggis is to turn waste into treasure." "It can be understood that way."
This haggis soup is indeed very thick and delicious, and the haggis is also tender, but this cake and twist are too dry and too light, not suitable for my taste, it is a thunder. Want to know what special snacks Xiaobian has eaten in Taiyuan's food street, please look forward to the next Oh ~
