QuoteSlippery rice noodles are first bathed in a slow-simmering broth of laboriously peeled river snails. Then they're topped with odorous bamboo shoots that have been covered in salt and left to ferment for a few weeks, tofu and salty lemon vinegar.
The broth is made from pork bones, unpeeled snails, and various spices and simmered for hours. (How the hell do you peel snails anyway?) The snails are not usually served in the final dish. The tofu is in the form of tofu skin. Lemon vinegar? Grow up! It's rice wine vinegar!
QuoteSoon, millions were making the dish from their apartments under lockdown.
Liuzhou has never had a lockdown.
QuoteSeveral people claim to have created the first apocryphal bowl of snail noodle soup in the 1980s.
It's much older than that. There is strong evidence that it was being sold in 1952!
