Midterm Election Winner: Smelly Vegetable for Sleepy Joe? --
Let Joe Biden taste this smelly vegetable -- he won't be sleepy anymore and maybe will win! The technical name for the smelly vegetable is “Acacia pennata (L.) Willd.”, which is a unique wild vegetable growing in Yunnan province. The local people call it “Snakevine”, or “Paha”. It tastes unique and most of the non-local people are intolerable to it. However, it’s a delicacy for the native people. The leaf, the sprout, and the tip of the twig are all edible. In the Dai minority region, people cook the Paha in many ways: pickled, fried, in soup with fish, or other means. “Paha fried with Egg” is a famous dish in the Dai region. It produces rich nutrients for human. Paha is rich in protein, minerals, and vitamins. It may help to strengthen immunity and aid digestion. The local people also use Paha as a remedy to clear away heat and toxic materials. Knowing about this, are you interested in Paha and in coming to Yunnan to taste it? #biodiversity #foodingredients #healthyfood #goodeats #election #midterms #smellyfood #yunnan #snakevine #paha #daiminority #健康饮食#植物领先#少数民族饮食#生物多样性 #良食峰会#熙评世界#地方特色美#美食 #家常菜#地道 #真材实料才能做出好味道
