Chopped olive bark—ethnic delicacy
Overview
I have introduced various kinds of chopped lettuce to you before, so today I will introduce to you a famous Lahu people's chopped olive tree bark. You must not have thought that tree bark can also be used for cooking. This dish is a dish that every family of the Lahu people must make when they kill pigs during the New Year. If this dish is not included in any pig-killing feast, everyone will feel that something is missing, and they will not feel the taste of eating the pig-killing feast. It can be said that this is the most representative dish in the Lahu food culture. Yunnan olive trees were cut down from the mountains. After removing the branches and leaves, they used a broken bowl to scrape off the silvery white outer layer and then scrape out the thick bark inside. The scraped bark is bitter and astringent. I don’t know how the wise ancestors thought of using rice soup to remove the bitter taste of olive tree bark. Use rice soup to remove the bitterness from the olive bark, chop it finely with a knife, then add the tenderloin, roasted to medium rare, spices, etc. and chop it again. Finally, add the roasted and sliced pork liver and pig skin, then add the chili powder, salt and other seasonings that have been simmered with fire ash, mix well and serve. But this is not the most delicious. The most delicious chopped olives must contain pig blood marinated in home-roasted wine, chili, pepper, salt and other seasonings. Of course, eating chopped olives with pig blood also requires a certain amount of courage. Not everyone can accept the bright red color of raw pig blood. Although chopped olives with pig blood added taste great, with the popularization of scientific knowledge and the proliferation of various pig feeds, olives chopped with pig blood are no longer made in public places and restaurants. The chopped olives that everyone eats are the same as the one in the picture below. Although it does not look good, the taste will definitely make you forget it after eating it. Of course, there are a few adventurers who are not willing to give up the delicious taste of chopped pork blood and olives.
