The famous detective in the comic world

Chapter 339 Popcorn

Next, Broken Finger Tom gave them a popular science on the specific method of Texas barbecue, side dishes and so on.

Although He Nan was busy eating barbecue and didn't listen very carefully, he still felt that Tom did have a lot of research on this aspect.

This made him want to show off his research skills on the eating methods and origins of various Chinese hot pots.

So, He Nan asked Tom if he was interested in hot pot.

The answer was that he loves Swiss fondue very much.

So this topic naturally did not go down.

You can't have a serious discussion with the other person about a food that he hasn't experienced.

"I'll treat you to hot pot another day." He Nan patted him on the shoulder.

"Swiss?"

"Chinese style."

"Oh, I can't eat too spicy." Tom seemed to think of something, and immediately declined.

"It's not just spicy." Seeing his reaction, He Nan was a little surprised: "Do you know Chinese hot pot?"

"I just remembered, I passed by a house when I came here." Tom took another big bite of the meat and complained, "The spicy smell can be smelled through the wall! Looking through the glass, the pot is so red that it's scary, it's full of peppers." ...I definitely can't eat this, the spiciness of Texas barbecue is not bad."

"It's okay, I'm not very good at spicy food." He Nan comforted him, "If I can do it, you can do it too."

"Heh..." Hearing what He Nan said, Shirley couldn't help but smile and say nothing.

However, it didn't break him down.

Because in her opinion, He Nan can definitely eat spicy food.

In the United States, a country that generally loves sweets but can't accept spiciness, the level of spiciness can definitely be ranked in the top one percent.

Shirley is not so good at chilli.

Add a little bit, otherwise the food will be difficult to swallow.

After that, another hour later, He Nan and Xue Li were ready to leave.

Of course, they left Tom here. Anyway, he has time, so he can eat slowly before leaving.

"Are we going to wait for Liu Hong here?" Shirley leaned on the sofa in the waiting area near the front desk, watching He Nan go to the nearby place to buy snacks to observe, with a calm expression.

"Yeah." He Nan nodded, looking at the popcorn in the machine with great interest: "Xue Li, you can't believe what kind of popcorn I found here."

"I guess it's mustard."

"... Impossible, okay? Let's be serious." He Nan blocked the label with his body, and smiled triumphantly at Xueli: "Come on, Xueli, I'll buy it for you if I guess right."

"I'm full and don't want to eat popcorn, why bother to guess."

"Then I'll buy you a lollipop."

"Forget it, it's also sweets." Miyano Shiho rubbed his stomach, but it was definitely not because of dysmenorrhea: "...Hey, I ate so much, and I have to control my weight when I go back..."

"...Anyway, it's not easy for you to gain weight." He Nan continued to seduce her unwillingly: "Come on, guess one."

"You are so annoying." Shirley looked bored, looked at the red popcorn that was still stained with chili powder, and her tone was slightly disgusted: "Then I guess it is chili-flavored."

"It's not accurate enough. Obviously there is chili on it, okay?" He Nan shook his head, and then reminded: "This is to be specific to some abstract taste..."

"...that turkey smell."

"Ha! Wrong." He Nan moved away from the label and revealed the answer: "This is crayfish flavor."

"How could it be possible to guess correctly." Xue Li's expression became even more boring: "It's really boring..."

"So what flavor of lollipop do you want?"

"Would you buy it if you guessed it right?"

"of course."

"Heh... so why should I guess with you." Shirley showed a smirk: "I just ask you to buy it for me."

"Er...theoretically so, but..."

"Forget it, no need to explain. Instead of eating lollipops, just try this turkey-flavored popcorn."

"That's why they say it tastes like crayfish."

"Now it's turkey."

Although He Nan wanted to stick to the truth, but Shirley had already said so, so let's pretend that it tastes like turkey.

So he pulls out a fifty-cent piece and plans to drop it in for a small bucket of popcorn.

However, just as he was about to vote, he was stopped by the younger brother of the Heart Demon Gang.He stuffed five dollars directly, filled a big bucket and gave them to them.I can't persuade you no matter what.

As a result, He Nan was dumbfounded looking at the mountain of popcorn piled up in the vat.

"...a lot." Shirley stared down at the popcorn and sighed, "The two of us definitely can't finish it."

"Uh...or let Tom take it away and tell the front desk."

"Then I'm afraid he will be packed with a lot of things and taken away, after all, he has been ordered to be a VIP." As Xue Li said, she picked up a piece of fiery popcorn with her fingers and took a sip: "...um. "

"How about it."

"It doesn't taste like turkey at all, so I'm ashamed to call it turkey-flavored popcorn."

"It tastes like crayfish!"

He Nan couldn't help complaining like this, and took a sip himself.

...also no crayfish flavor.

"This is just spicy popcorn..." He Nan ate a few, and found it unattractive: "It's pretty good, and the name is good, but it's just for reference... It tastes salty and spicy. ...with some MSG."

"...But it's not bad." Shirley ate a few more with a bored expression: "Fortunately, it's not as spicy as it looks."

This is precisely the point of He Nan's disappointment.

Not spicy at all.

It can even be said that there is almost no spicy taste.

But he kind of understood why that was the case.

After all, this is not a pure Chinese restaurant, and it faces many non-Chinese.

Therefore, the snacks placed here must also be acceptable to most people.Take popcorn as an example, at least it won't be unbearably spicy after eating.

Moreover, most of the types of popcorn here are salty.

If it is really according to the Chinese taste, I am afraid that almost all of them must be sweet.

For a long time, there have been two classic debates in the American food circle.

The most famous one is whether to put pineapple on top of the pizza.

The less famous one is whether the popcorn is eaten sweet or salty.

This problem is only new in the past two years.

Traditional European and American popcorn is salty.

Nowadays, sweet popcorn is gradually rising as a new force, and it has been criticized by many traditionalists, saying that eating sweet popcorn is deviant, how can this kind of thing go with sugar and chocolate.

And the sweet popcorn avant-garde thinks that the old-fashioned ideas have long been negligent, and it's time for sweet popcorn to hit the trend.Corn itself has a sweet taste, and corn syrup is the most used sweet in the United States, so what's wrong with popcorn becoming sweet?
