Last month, the Taiwan authorities said that mainland snail noodles printed with earthy love words were a "united front tool" that was banned from entering, and demanded that they be removed from all shelves online and offline, which led to a "hoarding tide" of snail noodles on the island.
In recent days, Taiwanese media have discovered that many vendors in Taiwan’s night markets have begun to sell snail noodles. It’s really impressive that it’s delicious, so you have to eat it. “The more forbidden, the more you want to eat”!
After this sour, spicy, and smelly snack swept across the country, it really conquered the Chinese stomach on the other side of the strait!

Speaking of which, the two sides of the strait do have a lot in common in terms of liking heavy and weird food.
These, the smellier the more fragrant!
When it comes to stinky food, people on both sides of the strait have many favorites. Besides snail noodles, stinky tofu is the most popular.
Or khaki or dark fried stinky tofu, often make foreign tourists look embarrassed.
But Chinese people seem to have a stronger ability to recognize this kind of smell, and can find the fragrance in the smell.
In mainland China, "authentic Changsha stinky tofu" is a must-have stall in almost all food streets; in Taiwan, stinky tofu is also popular in night markets and streets.
The slight difference is that Taiwanese stinky tofu is often eaten with refreshing sweet and sour kimchi, which neutralizes the greasy taste and makes people feast on it. In addition, there are also steamed stinky tofu garnished with edamame, mushrooms and other vegetables.

According to reports, Taiwanese kimchi, cheese and stinky tofu are baked together, and garlic and soy sauce are added to enhance the flavor. It is also sold simultaneously with durian pizza. sale.
I don’t know if the Italians approve of this combination. Anyway, the mainland compatriots expressed their desire to order it in the office.
In addition, there is a "Daiji Duchoujia Stinky Tofu Specialty Store" in Taipei, which is called "the temple of stinky" by foreign media, and it offers stinky tofu with different levels of smell!
Of course, in addition to stinky tofu, Chinese delicacies also include Huizhou stinky mandarin fish, Wuhan stinky gluten, Ningbo stinky winter melon... We look forward to more stinky delicacies becoming popular in Taiwan!
I know everything, but I love offal!
As we all know, in the eating habits of many countries, they prefer to eat whole and complete meat, and they don't like to chew on bones, and they rarely eat animal offal.
However, the Chinese nation, who are good at seasoning, has long overcome the unpleasant smell of offal and turned it into a plump and tender delicacy.
Counting from the north to the south, there are fat sausages such as slippery fat sausage, stewed, nine-turned large intestine, braised fatty sausage, dry-stir-fried fatty sausage, stewed fatty sausage, etc. in the barbecue, there are big kidneys with a heavy taste, and the soup has mellow haggis soup Pork belly chicken, duck intestine hairy belly boiling in the hot pot... Such an unremarkable offal ingredient can be played so fancy by Chinese cuisine!

Across the sea, people in Taiwan also love viscera fiercely, and you can find all kinds of tricks in a single fat intestine.
Beijing-style braised fatty sausages and Sichuan-style spicy fatty sausages are equally popular on the streets of Taiwan, and the distinctive peanut glutinous rice sausages are so delicious that your mouth will fall.
The "black dialect" Taiwanese snack "Black and White Cut" that makes tourists confused, is randomly cut from different internal organs and meat by the store to form a platter for diners.
The word "black and white" is taken from the Hokkien word "wubai", which means "random".
"Black and white cut" can become a classic, which shows the welcome attitude of Taiwanese people to offal.
With a portion of sesame oil kidneys and a plate of pork blood cake, such a meal will satisfy lovers of offal food on both sides of the strait.
Stinky Monsters Ultimate Showdown!
Perhaps, heavy food lovers will find that the above dishes are not exciting enough.
Indeed, there are more stinky killers in the food circles on both sides of the strait!
Let us grandly invite out Taiwan stinky pot!

Pork slices, pork blood cake, quail eggs, enoki mushrooms, cabbage and other ingredients are usually boiled in the pot. The soup is rich, steaming, and rich in ingredients.
But how stinky is it? Ask, it’s really not stinky (dog head).

Heijin deep-fried stinky tofu, greasy big fat intestines, full of snail noodles... add snail noodles to the soup and start a fire, it's really unbearable to think about it!
I wonder if Taiwanese compatriots who have started hoarding snail noodles will also like snail noodles and stinky tofu pot?
Speaking of it, although the above-mentioned Chinese food sounds so dark, when many foreign friends took the "courage to come here" and pinched their noses to risk their lives, they actually felt that "it tastes good".

This is probably the power of Chinese cuisine!
