Welcome to "Q - Did you know" where hundreds of interesting videos are updated every day.
In the world, there are hundreds of different cultures and along with that is
a rich variety of cuisines.
Typically, China is one of the largest and most populous countries in the world, so the
culinary culture here also takes a lot of pen and paper to write all down.
Besides the delicious food, there are also extremely horrible dishes which not everyone
can eat.
Before watching this video, I highly recommend you should be mentally-prepared because they
are very horrible.
Let's come with...
11 most "scary" dishes in China
Number 11: Roasted raw chicken
Roasted raw chicken is a horrible dish of Chinese.
The chicken after being caught won't be but smashed until death and processed in a barbaric
style.
They wrap the whole chicken, including feathers, intestines, and even feces, with gold soil,
and bake all of them in the fire for hours.
After the chicken is cooked, the feathers will fall out, and users can enjoy the hot
chicken.
There are many places to eat this dish in the style of "half-cooked", which means that
pieces of chicken, after being tear, still have red blood.
People believe that eating in this way is nutritious.
Tearing and eating at the same time is really like ancient times.
How terrible!
Number 10: Tuna eyes
This is probably one of the most horrible
Chinese dishes that diners are seeing.
You can easily find this dish at restaurants in China.
The look on the decoration is likely to be a barrier for the eaters, but the ingredients,
as well as the taste of the dish, is the attraction from the tuna eyes.
The eyes of a tuna are as big as an egg and the flesh at the base of the eye are extremely
delicious, as fat as boiled squid.
They are comments that people overcome the fear to taste.
This dish is rich in Omega 3 with other nutritional values.
Number 9: Yin and Yang fish
This dish, which is not only scary but also
extremely cruel, is the yin and yang fish.
The ingredients of yin and yang fish dishes are mostly fresh, mature carp.
After discarding the unused parts, the material is put on a fry for 10-15 minutes so that
the fish is fully cooked while the head is still fresh.
This dish is originated from Chinese culinary culture.
Here, people believe that eating "half-cooked" carp is completely nutritious, helping people
absorb all their quintessence.
It must be the "master" chefs that are able to make fish dishes that are sophisticatedly-presented,
beautiful and lively as if it was swimming.
Not only attractive by the lively presentation, but yin and yang fish also have the ability
to attract guests thanks to the aromatic, and sweet flesh.
Fish are served with vegetables to reduce the fishy smell.
Their meat has even stronger taste when used with a kind of specialized sauce.
In particular, diners need to enjoy when the dish is hot, as soon as you take it out of
the kitchen.
Number 8: Urine eggs
You didn't hear it wrong, it's an urine egg dish.
In early spring, people in Dong Duong,
ChietGiang will start making eggs soaked pupil urine.
It is known that this is a long tradition that has been maintained for thousands of years.
At this time, every elementary school has a bucket ready to store the students' urine.
The special requirement is to collect the urine of under-5-year-old boys only.
At the same time, urine in the morning will give "the best quality".
This fresh urine will be taken by the chefs to boil eggs.
During cooking, the eggs are regularly turned to be evenly cooked and must be boiled for
1 day and 1 night to be considered satisfactory.
Number 7: Fried scorpion
According to the people making this dish,
frying the scorpion will neutralize the toxicity of this scary animal.
More specifically, the scorpion's tail is the most nutritious.
This dish will help users improve resistance and improve health.
There are two types of processed scorpions: adult scorpions and baby scorpions.
Adult scorpions have a dark black body while young scorpions are softer and clearer.
This dish, after being processed, is quite crunchy and very similar to popcorn.
Some people who make this dish also add
a little spicy seasoning to this dish for better flavor.
Number 6: “Drunk” raw shrimp
This is a famous traditional dish of Han people
throughout Shanghai, Ninh Ba.
Shrimp are prepared by cutting off all beards, legs and then put on a plate.
After that, they soak raw shrimp in ice water, wine, spices and cover for 90 seconds.
Accordingly, the shrimp will "get drunk" because of the alcohol, so they will not jump anymore,
and the eaters will be able to enjoy the aromatic
wine flavor and the freshness of raw shrimp meat.
This dish is considered to be very nutritious, easy to digest, good for people with poor
health or in recovery, those with low cholesterol, and can prevent high blood pressure.
In addition, because shrimp is rich in phosphorus and calcium, this dish is also quite useful
for children and pregnant women.
I don't know how nutritious this dish is, but I'll be the first to run when seeing it!
Number 5: Crunchy cockroach
Hearing of cockroaches, you already feel terrible, right?
A foul smell, but it's okay, you should slowly watch it all.
It will be very surprising.
In China, there are currently many cockroach farms, especially in Qufu, an area of northern China.
This is one of many new findings in the medicine of the world because cockroaches help increase
income for people and are good for human health.
Like crisps, cockroaches are crunchy but greasy.
One way to cook cockroaches is to remove the wings and fry 2 times with peanut oil.
Fry it quickly for the first time, then take out and continue to fry the second time to
make the cockroach crunchy on the outside
but the meat inside must still be well- cooked and soft.
People in the insect industry in China recommend that for flavoring, after taking them out
of the frying pan, we should add a little seasoning of salt and seasoning powder.
These people also recommend serving with fresh peppers makes it easier to eat and better
for your health.
Number 4: Cow dung hotpot
“Cow dung hotpot” is a very popular exotic
dish of people from Dai Chau, Quy Chau, China.
The main ingredient of this dish is an undigested grass mixture taken from the stomach of cows.
It is known that this way of making this dish has been handed down by Kiem people from the
Southeast region for thousands of years.
A few days before being slaughtered, every day the cows will be fed with young grass
and herbs.
The purpose is to give the "cow dung" a little better quality.
At the bottom of the pot, there are often flavors from traditional Chinese medicine
such as a pinch of beef bones and ligusticum striatum to increase the aroma of the hotpot.
First-time eaters will be hard to swallow because of its bitterness and "ugly" appearance.
However, according to many people here, cow dung hot pot is good for the digestive system.
This type of hot pot is considered to be very good for the stomach, effective in assisting
with digestion, cooling and is a "premium dish" used by locals to treat guests here.
Number 3: Stinky Tofu
Those who do not eat this dish often find
that it smells stinky or like rotting meat.
The Chinese consider that the heavier the soybeans are, the stronger the smell is.
Although it is a popular dish, the processing stage is no less sophisticated than other
luxury Chinese dishes.
To create a stinky smell for soybeans, people keep them with milk, vegetables, and meat
for about 6 months.
In addition, to increase the flavor of the ingredients, there are dried shrimp, mustard
greens, bamboo shoots, and herbs.
Number 2: The baby rats
Considered one of the most terrifying dishes
in the world, the live baby rats are used to improve the "sex" performance of Chinese.
This dish will make many people shudder and even "cry" while enjoying.
Before eating, the chef dips each rat into a bowl of pure honey
mixed with ginseng, antler, kidney tonic.
The rats drink honey until the stomach is full without dying.
After that, the chef uses a chopstick to wipe the tail of the mouse onto the bowl.
At that time, the rat body is submerged under the honey, while the stomach is still breathing.
Diners enjoy it with a piece of gobbling.
Witnessing the scene of eating live raw red rats until they died in the mouth, many people
could not help but shudder, tremble and even faint.
Number 1: Green worm
And at the top of this list, apart from the
whole bat we've talked about in the previous video, is the green worms dish, which definitely
makes us disgusting, especially the female.
Seeing this dish for the first time, perhaps
you don't think the main ingredient is from the worms.
Oh my god, it's so scary!
However, this green wom is a typical dish for Giang To province, especially in Lien
Van Cang city.
The worms are processed very carefully and made into different delicious dishes such
as fried worms with eggs, fried worms, cabbage soup with worms...
Depending on different dishes, the people of Giang To will cook the whole worm or just
take the meat inside and remove the green coat outside.
According to Giang To people, this dish is delicious and has
a lot of helpful nutrition for health.
However, after knowing the ingredients, will you dare to eat it?
It is really horrible with this culinary style.
Here is the list of 10 Chinese specialties,
which are, however, considered horror dishes
in the eyes of international friends.
