Little knowledge, how do foreigners eat zongzi?

Zongzi is a traditional food in China, usually made of glutinous rice and some condiments. Zongzi is also found in many areas abroad, some with corn flour and some with palm leaves, and the eating method is very different. Even some foreign friends have just come into contact with zongzi, thinking that they want to eat it with the skin.

Speaking of Dragon Boat Festival, the first thing that comes to mind is zongzi. The stuffing of zongzi is usually glutinous rice, because of the difference in diet between north and south. Jiaozi in the south pays attention to delicacy, and its fillings are relatively rich, while jiaozi in the north is bigger, more affordable and more unrestrained. As we all know, Dragon Boat Festival is a traditional festival in China to commemorate Qu Yuan, the great ancestor of ancient China. However, with the cultural exchange between China and the West, many China food cultures have gradually been introduced to foreign countries, and now many countries will see the traces of Zongzi.

Occasionally, I saw many foreign friends eating zongzi for the first time on the video. Because they have never been exposed to this kind of food before, some foreigners even eat the skin of zongzi directly. It reflects that the rice dumplings are delicious inside, but the outer skin is a little hard and chewy, but it is also very thoughtful to give a floss. Although the way foreign friends eat makes us laugh and cry, we should also understand that this is entirely a difference in food culture, just like ordinary people who are new to eating steak.

It is precisely because of the development of the present era and the exchange of food culture that we can really taste the delicious food from different regions. I read some comments on the Internet. It was written that a foreign friend was once invited to eat zongzi. After eating the stuffing inside, the foreign friend felt that the skin was tasteless, and even added some condiments, and swallowed it raw one by one. However, after cultural exchange, most foreign friends know the correct way to eat zongzi.

It can be said that the way Mexican locals make zongzi is very strange. As we know, zongzi are generally made of glutinous rice, so it is natural to use glutinous rice as raw material. But Mexican locals are made of corn flour, meat and pepper, covered with corn leaves, which is really a very special way to eat.
