It is said that a foreigner finished eating zongzi, covered his cheeks with one hand, and thumbs up in the other. He said contentedly: I didn't expect Chinese zongzi to be so delicious, that is, the leaves outside were too old to chew, and it took a lot of effort, but I thought very thoughtfully and prepared floss.
When it comes to Dragon Boat Festival, we have to say that we have a long history of zongzi.
Chinese people eat and drink for the holidays.
It goes without saying that the Lantern Festival is because it eats too much fish and meat during the Spring Festival and needs some vegetarian scraping oil and water, so there is Lantern Festival.
The cold food festival before Qingming Dynasty, because the winter firewood is almost burned, want to eat, afraid that the firewood is not enough, so eat some cold, anyway, the weather is warmer, the problem is not small.
Dragon Boat Festival, it is time to do manual work, can not treat themselves badly.
So, find a head to eat zongzi.
This is another Dragon Boat Festival, a variety of flavors of zongzi, such as glutinous rice dumplings, honey dumplings, Sichuan spicy dumplings, Miluo dumplings, Jiaxing meat dumplings, crystal dumplings. It all came out.
Little zongzi makes a thousand tricks, is not very familiar with Chinese culture foreigners, what will they think?
With the continuous expansion of China's influence, Chinese culture has become an important aspect for foreigners to take the initiative to understand China.
Just as countless Chinese people ate western food in those days, foreigners often eat zongzi, which is often hilarious.
Some people say that the taste is really unacceptable, and it can even be said to be too "bad".
Why is that?
If you go after it, the answer will be announced immediately.
This bad part is the skin outside zongzi.
Foreigners said that the skin outside zongzi is too hard to gnaw toothache.
When they get zongzi, they will not subconsciously peel them like the Chinese, and then enjoy delicious rice dumplings.
They will first look at the whole, even zongye bite together, well, really hard.
A foreign gourmet program arrived in China before the Dragon Boat Festival to shoot the Dragon Boat Festival in particular program.
The two hosts bought two zongzi, held them for a long time, smelled them, and lost their faces.
Or enthusiastic passers-by told them to peel and eat.
After trying to take a bite, they gobbled up all of them and said they must buy more when they returned home. I didn't expect leaves to be used to make good food in China!
Of course, there are places where Chinese zongzi is sold in foreign countries. You see, David, a foreigner, bought a lot. In the face of bundled zongzi, he chose to cut zongzi leaves with knives and forks.
I hope he can have a Chinese friend, so that he can be taught.
What is most admirable is that a group of foreigners come to China thousands of miles to learn Chinese culture and experience Chinese food.
In order to learn the authentic craftsmanship of zongzi, they went to the countryside and asked the local grandmother for advice.
In fact, foreigners have a lot of misunderstandings about Chinese food.
For example, in the Mid-Autumn Festival, many foreigners dip moon cakes in sauce, and use dumplings and soup bags to demonstrate the scientific nature of their eating methods.
When eating dumplings, we should use knives and forks to separate the skin and stuffing of dumplings, eat a bite of dumpling skin, and eat a mouthful of stuffing.
When eating sugar cane, I don't know how to spit out the dregs. After gnawing, he said contentedly, "it's sweet, it's delicious, it's just too hard to swallow."
Foreigners have tried more and complained more.
Leather eggs, by foreigners crazy complaints.
It is strange to say that leather eggs grow strangely and taste even weirder, which makes many Chinese wonder that leather eggs are obviously classic cold dishes. The Chinese were speechless when they saw the way foreigners ate. Remove the shell and open it, without any seasoning, where can it be delicious?
Tofu also did not get rid of the fate of being complained about. Many foreigners think that Chinese tofu is not delicious, but tofu can be regarded as the essence of Chinese food, no matter what food it matches, it can absorb the essence of other foods and become delicious.
It was not until they saw that foreigners had to eat the method that they found that they could eat raw with tofu directly. No wonder they could taste good!
