What foods were invented because of mistakes?

Dad, what are we eating today?

Son, let's cook dumplings.

Yes, I like dumplings the most.

Son, this is called xx's meatball soup, invented by my dad]

[When I was in primary school, I ate hot pot. My mother mixed the paste. She said it was made from yam paste and hot pot soup. I was amazed at it, but when I made it myself later, it didn’t taste the same at all.]

[I forgot to steam the eggs. When I took them out of the steamer after an hour, they were hard. They bounced back when I slammed them on the ground. I didn’t want to waste them, so I cut them into pieces and fried them with chili peppers. They tasted pretty good.]

[The first time I made Meiling porridge, it was a little mushy. I didn’t want to throw it away, but the mushy taste was so delicious. If I make it again without burning the pot, I won’t be able to make the same taste as the first time. []

[A man once fell seriously ill and thought he would die soon, so he laid in a coffin and placed a few eggs as burial objects. After lying in bed for a few days, he recovered, but forgot about the eggs. When he remembered, he peeled the eggs and they had turned black. A brave man took a bite and found that they tasted good.]

[When cooking, I just add something to it, and it turns out that it is not a dark dish. It tastes especially good, but I can’t make this feeling again later]

"When I was a kid, I always had a cold dish at banquets. It was sweet, like carrots, but chewy and crunchy with a bit of fruity flavor. I didn't like it when I was a kid, but when I grew up, I was very curious about what it was [covering face][covering face]"

"Coke was invented by a doctor or a nurse who made a mistake in making a prescription. I read about it in a book when I was a kid [laughing and crying]"

"When I was a kid, I drank a kind of medicine, a small square bag, which was light yellow in color, sweet, and delicious [covering face] but I don't know what it was"

"My grandmother said that when she was young, there were poor relatives who came from far away to seek refuge in our family. They arrived at night and had nothing to eat, so my great-grandmother cooked a big pot of noodle soup. She didn't put anything in it, but the relatives ate it with great relish.

Everyone tasted it and it was really delicious. I thought it was to create a good atmosphere, but the next day when I was cleaning the pot, I found a long thorn at the bottom of the pot [covering face] and there was a snake on the beam that fell into the pot due to the fire [covering face]"

"When I was a kid and went to get an injection, the auntie told me that if I behaved well and didn't cry, she would give me candy. She really gave it to me, and she took it out of the refrigerator. It was cold and delicious [doge]. Later, I searched and searched, and really found a lot of similar ones [doge], but they all tasted wrong [doge]. When I grew up a little bit... oh... so you are medicine... sorry to bother you"

"When I was a kid, I went to my second aunt's house in the countryside. It was a very hot summer and I had no appetite. I didn't eat anything all day. My second aunt's house didn't have many vegetables. I used a piece of tofu and sprinkled some pine flowers to make a bowl of soup. It was very light and refreshing, and my appetite came back immediately. The quantity was just right.

Later, when I got home, I missed this taste and told my mom about it. I thought it would be simple until she brought me a bowl of soup filled with tofu, meatballs, vermicelli, green vegetables, and radish. I took a sip and the taste was different. There were too many ingredients and it was too greasy and dry [covering face]"

"My dad accidentally used vinegar instead of soy sauce when he was frying cowpeas. I took a bite and the background immediately changed to the special effects of Little Chef. But my mom asked me, 'Don't you have a sense of taste?'

...Many years later, snail rice noodle became popular, and the sour beans in it were also very popular, proving that there was nothing wrong with my taste."

"When I was a kid, there was a spicy noodle shop called "Brother Zhu". It was really delicious, but I didn't have money to buy it, so I couldn't eat it all the time. Later, when I had money, I searched again and found that it had gone bankrupt [cry][cry][cry]"

"Who knows? I ate raw eggs mixed with porridge twice when I was a kid [covering my face] I was very impressed. The first time was made by my grandma, and the other time I wanted to eat it so I made it myself. Now I don't dare to do it anymore [terrified]"

"When I was a kid in Xinjiang, my family had lots of raisins and nuts. I loved eating them and accidentally discovered that raisins and nuts tasted especially good, like chocolate. My brother and I mashed the raisins and added nuts to the mixture, and later we found out that this was che gao [smile][to the right]"

"For some reason I really like the vinegar sold at breakfast stalls. I think it tastes better than the vinegar at home. Until one day I had a sudden inspiration and added some water to the vinegar at home... [laugh and cry][laugh and cry][laugh and cry]"

Our ancestors who were not good at cooking complained: these are only the lucky minority, most people just follow the recipe but the result is still unsatisfactory.

If you add something according to your own ideas, the final dish will be horrible!

Our ancestors, who have strong self-esteem, would rather think that this practice is wrong than admit that they are simply poor cooks and their food is unpalatable.

PS: What are you talking about?

Every time I cook, my family members praise my dishes. Only people like you who don’t know how to appreciate gold and jade would find them hard to swallow. You are really a wild boar who can’t eat them. You don’t know how to appreciate them! ??(◣д◢)??

Ming Dynasty period.

Zhang Dama, a rich farmer who loves tomatoes, looked at Tianmu's food and saw that it turned out to be a delicious dish by accident. He couldn't help but think of his own cooking.

He had only eaten sweet scrambled eggs with tomatoes since he was a child. He had heard that people in the south eat salty food but had never tasted it. He thought it was unacceptable until one day he made it himself and put the salt and sugar in the wrong place.

I only discovered this when I was eating it, and it actually tasted pretty good.

From then on, I could accept the salty taste of scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and my family also enjoyed the delicious taste of salty scrambled eggs with tomatoes.
