Zhangjiajie Sour Turnip

Food 2012/09/19 View:2054

In Zhangjiajie,Sour Turnip is another local flavor snack. It tastes savory, crisp and refreshing with slight sour. People usually eat it by mixing with pepper oil and coriander. No matter in summer or winter, it is absolutely one of the best appetizers. In summer, it is a cold dish with cold and refreshing taste, which could relieve summer heat. However, in winter, by adding more pepper oil, its spicy taste could drive away the cold.

However, the taste of Sour Turnip varies due to different making methods, soaking time, selecting of materials etc. According to my experience, there are two stores whose Sour Turnip tastes great. One is Couple Sour Turnip located in downtown of ZJJ and besides the Mcdonald’s. Business is quite busy here. Usually, you have to wait for your turn to buy. The other one is behind the back school gate of Zhangjiajie campus ofJishouUniversity. Apart from turnip, there are also other kinds of vegetables which are made into cold dishes. If you are interested in snack, it must be a good choice.
