More about the viral Chinese dish
Suodiu isn't a new cuisine for those in China as it has a history that dates back hundreds of years.
When boatmen would become stranded in the middle of a river and run out of food while delivering goods, they would collect some river rocks and use them in food preparations to soothe hunger. The recipe is believed to have been passed down for generations by boatmen through their oral history.
Are people eating stones for real? Here's the catch
Reportedly, one doesn't quite literally bite into or eat those stones as it is just sucked, tasted, and thrown later. The other part of the food dish which involves slight gravy of spices and condiments is fully consumed.
