It comes in an sorts of varieties, from sweet, to fairly bland, but it's so much better than what I'm used to in the UK. Normally I'd never drink the stuff straight, but here it is a different thing altogether, and I'm actually picking it over beer some of the time.

It goes great with youtiao (油条), which is a sort of light fried batter stick that you dunk in a bowl of soy milk, sweetened to your taste.

Anyway, just thought I'd enlighten anyone who didn't already know.

OP I assume you've eaten 油条 dipped in rice porridge right?

[-] Flyberius@hexbear.net 8 points 2 months ago

I have according to my girlfriend, though I can't remember. She says it is an elite combination.

Funnily enough I was just watching Shaolin Soccer the other day and I'm pretty sure he's drinking one of these in an early scene

Sort of, but a lot lighter and airy. Crunchier too.

[-] GlueBear@hexbear.net 4 points 2 months ago

I must try it then

[-] niph@hexbear.net 7 points 2 months ago

Imagine a fatter longer lighter churro

In the Madrid area, those are called "porras". They're oddly similar for being independently invented in China and Spain

Often compared to a cruller.

In the south they call youtiao 油炸鬼 which literally means deep fried devil

Folklore goes that the dish was invented when a notorious traitor died and people wanted to posthumously punish them by making effigies of he and his wife and deep fry them

[-] Flyberius@hexbear.net 5 points 2 months ago

Oh wow. I'll try to impress people with that little factoid. Thanks

[-] CliffordBigRedDog@hexbear.net 4 points 2 months ago

Its most likely a bullshit story like its probably a pun

In southern dialects the word for pastry 粿 and the word for ghost\devil 鬼 are pronounced similarly
