Hunan Xiaomei visited the rural vegetable market in Yunnan and didn't know a dish: it seems to be April Fool's Day.

Abstract: Xiaomei, Hunan visited the rural vegetable market in Yunnan and didn't know a dish: it seems to be April Fool's Day.

It is said that Yunnan has the richest variety of food in China, and some netizens even joked on the Internet that green food is vegetables, while mobile food is meat.

But if you haven't been to the vegetable market in Yunnan, you won't know that the variety of food here is really beyond many people's imagination.

My girlfriend Xiaomei is a typical foodie. She also likes traveling very much. In fact, we all know that her trip is just an excuse to eat delicious food from all over the world.

Recently, my best friend Xiaomei was arranged to travel to Yunnan from her hometown in Hunan. After finishing her work, she visited the vegetable market with her local colleagues.

My best friend has been traveling all over the world for many years. She is a well-informed "senior foodie". But when she went to a rural vegetable market in Pu 'er, Yunnan, she said that she didn't know anything about the local food, and even had an impulse to go home halfway. When chatting with us, she also made a noise: it seems to be April Fool's Day.

Not to mention a foreigner from Hunan, when she photographed the exotic vegetables and fruits she saw in the vegetable market and sent them to a circle of friends, even a local friend of the company in Yunnan said that many locals would detour to the vegetable market in Yunnan because they didn't know many dishes and didn't know how to eat them.

What strange foods did girlfriends see in Yunnan? Let's have a look!

The first is all kinds of flowers.

In a chat with us, my best friend said that before going to Yunnan, she learned that local people like to eat all kinds of flowers, but to her surprise, many common flowers in our lives can also be regarded as delicacies in the local area, which surprised her a little.

In the local vegetable market, she saw all kinds of flowers, and only asked the boss did she know that they were Broussonetia papyrifera, walnut flower, broom flower, taro flower, plantain flower and bean pear flower.

Peas and pears, in particular, are sold in many food stalls, some in bags, some in roadside baskets, and some in backpacks to eat while walking.

My best friend also shared with us that it was the first time that I knew that bean pears could be eaten, and I specially bought a catty for my colleague's house to eat cold. It tastes really good. It's a waste of time to think that all the beans and pears on the mountain in my hometown fell to the ground.

In addition, my girlfriend also said that local people like to eat taro flowers, which is not available in other places. And fried meat with taro flowers is really delicious. Knowing that only local people can eat this kind of flower, my best friend also said whether to take some home for everyone to taste.

Followed by all kinds of wild vegetables that have never been seen before.

Have you ever heard of rotten food? There is a smelly dish in Yunnan. Its taste is so bad that you can smell it far away, which is worse than stinky tofu.

However, this stinky dish doesn't smell at all after being fried, and it tastes delicious. After understanding, I know that cooking is a very popular wild vegetable in the local area. In fact, it is a young leaf called Acacia pinnata.

After introducing stinky vegetables, my best friend began to say "beets" again. Because the boss didn't say clearly what kind of tender leaves it was, and his girlfriend didn't know the scientific name of this wild vegetable.

Judging from the photos she shared, this wild vegetable is green and looks a bit like spring tea.

There are also teas, spiny old buns, Toona sinensis buds and brown buns. Especially the brown bag, my best friend said it was a plant that my hometown didn't even want to feed chickens, because I was afraid it was poisonous. However, brown steamed stuffed bun is a common wild vegetable in Yunnan, and locals often use it to fry bacon.

Fruit again.

For foodies, how can you not love fruit? Be sure to bring some fruit back when you go to Yunnan vegetable market. Here, my girlfriends see a lot of fruits that are not mature in other places, but listed locally.

Mulberry, mango, grape, plum, bayberry and goat milk are more common. The most wonderful thing is that locals like to eat sour fruits such as plums and goat milk.

And their eating method is also very strange, that is, directly pat the plums flat with a knife, and then put them in a bowl and mix them with Chili noodles, salt and the like.

It may also be because of this reason that some fruits are sold directly after being pickled, and goat's milk is more common. It looks bigger than the wild one on the mountain, but it makes my mouth water.

Besides these, my girlfriend also said that there are many dark dishes in the local area, all of which are all kinds of bugs. But considering that it was hard for all of us to accept and she didn't dare to eat too much, she didn't share it with us.

My girlfriend's "trip" to Yunnan vegetable market, she said that she didn't know there were so many kinds of vegetables until she went to Yunnan. At first I thought I had gone abroad, but when I asked about the local situation, they also said it was normal. Even if some botanists come to Yunnan, they may not know all kinds of vegetable markets.

The funniest thing is that my girlfriend said that when she saw so many unfamiliar foods, she felt like April Fool's Day, because everything was like a dream, all things she had never seen or eaten. The most terrible thing is that you don't know how to eat or cook at all. This is the most embarrassing thing.
