The "National Food Map" is newly released. What are the representative delicacies in your hometown?

After taking a look at this food map, our Tianjin food is really on the list! Tianjin Mahua and Duliu Laojiang are also very famous. Of course, we are not the only ones in Tianjin. Let me introduce to you the most representative delicacies of our Tianjin Wei.

First of all, our Tianjin twists and vinegar are on the list this time.

1. 18th Street Twist

Gui Faxiang’s 18th Street Twist is a traditional snack. It is a century-old twist shop in Tianjin. It is the same as Goubuli steamed buns and fried ears and eyes. It is also known as the "Three Wonders of Tianjin". The big twists are as thick as an arm, and no one buys them except tourists. We Tianjin people like to buy the smaller ones, which are crispier and less burdensome to eat. There are more than ten flavors such as hawthorn, black sesame, and salt and pepper. Each one is very unique. Personally, I like the salt and pepper the best. The twist has a sesame aroma and is crispy and delicious.

When I was a child, I only thought that the 18th Street Twist Twist was crispy and crispy, but I could only eat it on important days. During the holidays, parents would ask someone to buy some. In those days, there were very few types of twists, and there were not so many flavors like today. But even those original assorted twists brought joy to the childhoods of countless children. A little crispy and sweet.

2. Duliu old vinegar

Duliu old vinegar is one of the three traditional famous vinegars in China. It is as famous as Shanxi mature vinegar and Zhenjiang rice vinegar. It has a history of more than 300 years. A royal tribute from the Qing Dynasty. This vinegar is something I have grown up with since I was a snack. It is more acidic than balsamic vinegar, lighter than mature vinegar, and has a little grain sweetness. It is very weak but very palatable. It is the most common way to eat it when dipping dumplings into Laba vinegar.

I remember when I was a child, every year on Laba Festival, my mother would peel and wash the purple garlic prepared in advance, put it into a large jar, then put the old vinegar in it, cover it tightly, and put it in Get somewhere not too cold. When I opened the jar on New Year's Eve, the garlic turned green, and the vinegar had a smell of garlic. It was cold, refreshing, and refreshing. It was a perfect match for eating dumplings and could be eaten until the first lunar month.

After talking about the delicacies on the list, let’s take a look at other delicacies in Tianjin. They are not inferior to the above two, but they have to be fresh and hot. They are not suitable for mailing, so it is not easy to go out of town. Eat authentic.

3. Jianbing Guozi

Jianbing Guozi should be quite famous. After all, it has been featured on "A Bite of China" and it can be regarded as showing its face in front of people all over the country. Pancake fruit is an indispensable part of Tianjin people's breakfast. The surface of pancake fruit is real mung bean noodles, which has a refreshing fragrance. Onions, pasta sauce and spicy peppers are all made from the best ingredients. The fruit grate is very crisp. It is folded into three folds, rolled up in the dough, spread out warm, and eaten in your mouth. It is really delicious!

I remember when I was a child, when I wanted to eat pancakes and fruit, I asked my mother for an egg. There was a pancake and fruit stall at the door of the community. I gave the egg to the aunt who was selling pancakes, and then went to buy soy milk with my dad. , take a walk and come back, the pancakes will be spread out. Sometimes when I come back late, my aunt is afraid that the pancakes will not taste good when they are cold, so she will warm them with a spatula and put them in her pocket when we come back. Now think about it, these pancakes are full of human touch!

4. Er-Er Eye Fried Cake

Tianjin people love to eat fried cake, and it doesn’t matter whether it is Er-Er Eye Fried Cake, as long as it is fried well. When I was a kid, I would eat Er Er Yan Fried Cake at the doorstep, but I haven’t eaten it since I grew up, mainly because there weren’t enough of them on sale.

When I went to Ancient Culture Street during the Spring Festival this year, I saw a long line of people queuing up at the door of Er Eryan Fried Cake. Some people ate it right at the door after buying it. I was so greedy that I also queued up. When I got the fried cake, I immediately swirled it. This thing must be served while it's hot to taste. It's really charred on the outside and tender on the inside! And the bean paste is not that sweet! Inside the crispy shell is soft and sticky glutinous rice noodles, which are chewy and silky, not to mention very enjoyable.

5. Guoba cuisine

This is a breakfast that is only available in Tianjin. It is really not available in other places. We Tianjin people call it "Gaba cuisine". Mix mung beans and millet into a paste, spread it into pancakes, cut it into willow leaves, add marinade, sesame paste, fermented bean curd juice, spicy pepper, and coriander and you're done. The taste is salty and fresh. The dried mung bean pancakes are soaked in soup after being softened. They have a smooth texture and the rich aroma of sesame paste and fermented bean curd. It is very enjoyable to eat.

I often went to Wudaodao when I was a kid. At that time, Chen Ji’s rice dumplings were really delicious, especially his spicy rice dumplings and the Dafa Gaba from Dawangzhuang. Now, the Dafa Gaba is gone. Chen Ji It has become an Internet celebrity store, and the taste is different from before, but the one at my doorstep is still delicious, which is enough for me.

In addition to the ones mentioned above, Goubuli steamed buns are particularly famous in Tianjin, but basically no locals eat them now, so I won’t mention them!
