sou diu, what??

sahabatpare

A recent viral video in China shows a man skillfully frying rocks in a mix of garlic, oil, and chili pepper. He introduced it as suodiu (嗦丢), literally meaning “suck and discard,” referring to how the dish was eaten (sorry to disappoint; you’re not actually supposed to eat the rocks). The suodiu in question was sold for 16 RMB per serving (around $2). The steep price tag shocked viewers, who felt that there was hardly anything edible on the plate. The admittedly peculiar dish actually has a long history in China. Originating in Hubei, a province often referred to as the “Land of Fish and Rice,” suodiu was first invented… Read More

In most ways, Kuşköy resembles countless other villages nestled in the Pontic Mountains along Turkey’s Black Sea coast. Its 500 or so residents cultivate tea and hazelnuts; there is one street with a baker, a butcher, and a few cafes. It is the sounds, not the sights, that make Kuşköy different. For generations, villagers have conversed using a unique form of whistled communication they call “kuş dili,” or “bird language” in Turkish.
