There are two explanations for "sad jelly": one is the jelly made by Guangdong Hakka people who lived in Luodai Town who came from Huguang to Sichuan when they missed their hometown. They were sad because of missing them, so they got the name; the other is that the jelly is bald and spicy, and people who eat the jelly will shed tears from the spicy heat, and everyone will burst into tears. Others will think that something sad has happened.
Sadness jelly is a specialty snack in Luodai. This is the first time I went there because there were too many people and I didn't dare to eat it because I was afraid of being too spicy. The second time I went there, my friend would try anything. It was really spicy and sweaty.
I ate it once and had a rough idea of what ingredients were put in, so I made some adjustments myself. Unfortunately, there were no ready-made fermented fermented beans and millet peppers, so I couldn't completely replicate it. However, replacing millet peppers with ruthless green peppers, the taste was not much worse.
