Test: the relationship of amount of salt added and the chewiness of the noodles Hypothesis: More salt added when making the noodles, chewier the noodles is tasted. Independent variable: amount of salt added Dependent variable: chewiness (we convert the test of chewiness into the test of length changed when the noodles is hanged and stretched due to the gravity after being heating) Controlled variables:                                    amount of water                                   amount of alkaline                                    amount of flour ...

The weirdest food I have ever tried.

Actually I'm not a food adventure and for most of the time I prefer to eat food which is well-cooked and somehow good-looking. So the first time I tried to eat alive octopus, which was still moving, directly with some sauce, I felt very weird and even hard to swallow it. At that time, in fact, I refused to have a try at first but my Korean friends keep persuading me so finally I took one. But actually this sort of dish is very popular in both Korea and Japan, especially in Korea. People like it so much and think it tastes umami and is full of nutrition.

The Weirdest Food I Have Ever Tried

DING Xinying Ada The Weirdest Food I Have Ever  Tried is Luosifen .  "Luosi" means river snails, one of the major raw material of the soup. "Fen" means rice noodles. Filename: Liuzhou Spicy Snails Rice Noodle at Guilin Classic Rice Noodle, Oakland CA (9923656465).jpg Created: 24 September 2013 The key point of "weirdest" is because Luosifen smells very bad while tastes quite delicious, kind of similar to Choutoufu. It is a Chinese traditional dish in Liuzhou, Guangxi Province. The most importance of Luosifen is the soup, whereas the bad smell comes from. The soup is made from river snails, pork bones, black cardamom, fennel seed, bay leaf, tangerine peel, cassia bark, cloves, white pepper, licorice root, sand ginger and star anise. After stewing for hours, the soup has its own "special" smell and taste. Luosifen mostly contains rice noodles, ground pork, pickled bamboo, shredded wood ear, fresh green vegetables, peanuts, fuzhu ...

Weirdest food ever tried-Pupa of Silkworm(Esmeralda, Siqi Wu)

         Just as shown in the picture above, the weirdest food I’ve ever tried is this- fried PUPAE of Silkworm. In northeast China, the dish of fried pupa of Silkworm is actually a representative dish and regarded as a pure culinary treat, instead of a form of insect, as most people view it. As long as I can remember, in my childhood every time there's a guest to visit or a holiday coming, my mother would buy fresh pupae of silkworm from the market and I know there must be the appetising dish on the table that night.     Why is this weird? To begin with, this is the only insect I've ever eaten in my whole life. Moreover, when you cut in open, you won't be able to find many components. As many people would imagine, there may be many organs and other parts, but as a matter of fact, there are merely two parts: the worm and a coat surrounding it. The reason is that as the cocoon-turning process goes on, the viscera will be transformed into mixture ...

The weirdest food I have ever tried is fried scorpions. During my last visit to Beijing, my parents persuaded me to buy a string of fried scorpions and I mustered my courage to taste it without opening my eyes. Honestly, if I did not know what I was eating was fried scorpions, I would never relate the taste to this insect. It was so delicious, crispy and memorable. Since I did not take any selfie with the food, I searched for the photos on the Internet.
