Eat hair. Super weird street food in China (3 photos + 1 video)

This is a real street snack! You can try it on the streets of Chengdu, China. It immediately attracted everyone's attention because it looks exactly like a lump of black human hair.





Shut up, it looks creepier in the hands of the Chinese than in the hands of a fair-haired person

And since almost everyone in China has black hair, the effect of the food and their hair matching each other is ten times stronger for them than it is for us!

Is this even edible?!

Yes, it's called Fa Cai, and the main ingredient in this dish has long been eaten by the Chinese. It's simply dried cyanobacteria Nostoc flagelliforme, which has long been added to dishes in China. It grows in desert areas, such as Inner Mongolia. It has long been collected and air-dried to produce dark threads, which is why it is called "vegetable hair."

You may even have accidentally eaten it if you've been to China, but in the form of a black additive to some broth or soup. Soaked in broth, this lump looks like black vermicelli.



As noodles, it looks interesting, but not as cool as a lump of dog hair

But for some reason, the Chinese only recently came up with the idea of ​​turning a whole piece of Fa Cai into a creepy street snack, apparently influenced by Halloween trends.

By the way, in Cantonese, the name Fa Cai sounds like “stuck in wealth,” so it’s one of the traditional New Year treats if you wish your family wealth.

Recently it feels like the Chinese have discovered the grill and are starting to FRY EVERYTHING.
