Douzhir and Coke Ring,You and Me
1 min read
Speaking of Beijing snacks,the first comes douzhir and coke ring.Beijingers enjoy drinking douzhir and eating coke ring.We can see from Yanjing Snacks Miscellaneous Poems that they describe douzhir in this way:”Hard to believe that dregs can be turned into porridge with attracting taste.People come to sit down and share together happily.”Besides,they praise douzhir as “incredbile”that only those who tried to taste can feel its delicacy.
There is a classic joke about douzhir and coke ring going like this:a person comes into a restaurant and gets kicked down.When he is lying on the ground, someone pours douzhir into his mouth and he suddenly wakes up choking.If he gets up and shouts abuses,it’s definite that he is not a Beijinger.If he gets up and asks,”Hey,where’s coke ring?”He must be a Beijinger.
You’d better have a small plate of pickles cut in slices adding pepper oil.How unique the flavor will be! The snacks contain such four flavors as sour,spicy,sweet and salty.Bitterness is of exception.Isn’t it the desire of being away from pains and sufferings that all human beings look forward to?
