Our story is just beginning... 🔥

螺螄粉是中國的傳統小吃,起源於廣西壯族自治區柳州市。早在大約在距今20000年前居住在白蓮洞的原始人“柳江人”就開始捕撈螺類食用,而酸筍更是廣西家家戶戶熱愛的腌製品。它的興盛要回溯到上世紀80年代初,那時候的柳州夜市興起了一種叫煮螺螄的食物。3分錢1碗,吃完螺螄,還可以免費喝上一碗螺螄湯。有的客人喝不完,就把剩下的湯帶回去,泡米飯吃。也不知道哪一天,是誰急中生智,把螺螄湯泡了粉,還加了各種配菜,一嘗,竟然非常美味。柳州地區氣候濕熱,很容易食欲不振,正好螺螄粉酸辣開胃,又價格實惠,簡單易做,便在柳州流行開了。再到今天,螺螄粉已然成為家喻戶曉的一道風味美食,2020年螺螄粉還被列入了國家級非物質文化遺產名單。

而我們臭寶螺螄粉的故事也才剛剛開始…🔥
