wat will they think of nxt, lol .....
the desire to eat stuff that is not edible it's a sickness usually related to the kidneys and their failure
You could literally stir fry anything else like plain rice and it's still more edible than this
It’s not supposed to be eaten, you pay for the taste.
@@Aztec1050 by that logic we should pay for samples 😂
*Nice* *invention* *SanluMilk* *AHAHAHAHAHA*
Did u not hear thr history originate from fisherman without anything to eat or r u to busy hating
@@blooddemonart3860Ok 12 year old
A chef once told me “never put anything on the plate that is not edible”.
Shellfish would like a word with this chef
But the plate itself is not edible...and so are the utensils
@@frommarkham424that's why they said ON the plate
I just complained to KFC since i found inedible bones inside my chicken 😡
*Nice* *invention* *SanluMilk* *AHAHAHAHAHA*
Missed opportunity of adding fruits in it and call it 'fruity pebbles' 😅
*Nice* *invention* *SanluMilk* *AHAHAHAHAHA*
Ahahaha!!😂😂😂
Yup they missed that opportunity... It might have boost sales *AHAHAHA*
Hahaha 😂
yaba daba dooooooooo .....
People will truly buy anything
chinese people will truly eat anything
Have you heard of the grilled ice that they're selling now in China?
@@PaulPavloPablo Yeh thats completly mental
There is a SUCKER born every minute.
can i offer you one of my farts in a bag?
Even just for experience, I'd rather not. There seems to be more pebbles than edible ingredients in the dish too.
imagine the owner picking up the pebbles from the trash bin
I finally knew what The Rock is cooking...
Bahahahahahahaaaaaa!!!!!
You win 😂
But can you smell it?
😅😂🤣 you win sir 👍
😂😂😂😂
In other news, park authorities are puzzled as to why tumbled stones are disappearing from a local fountain.
Fun fact: Suodiu (嗦丢) originates from Enshi (Hubei province). Boatmen back then used stones/pebbles found in freshwater if they could not get any fish (preservations wasn't used back then). When cooked, the rocks (pebbles) would taste like fish.
It's still pretty nasty though.
@@tonywang4032i guess when you're really hungry you'll do anything
@@tonywang4032 You're not you when you're hungry.
it’s 2023
😂😂😂😂
Choking hazard: 👁️👄👁️
As a Chinese, I heard about this dish a long time ago, this dish is mainly eating ingredients on stone. But this dish I never saw, and I didn't know until recently that this dish was on fire online. What is reflected is that China's current economy is very bad, and the people have do everything to stimulate the economy, resulting in the birth of many "Internet celebrity" products. These influencer products are only all the rage, but compared with the useless economists in China, the spontaneous behavior of the people is particularly useful for stimulating the economy. This is a tragedy.
Many thanks, mr/ms chinese person.
China is not alone in humiliating its citizens by trying to force these insane trends. Many in the west are trying to force people to eat bugs too. I think the "upper class" of the world was resenting the (in their eyes) unearned prosperity of the peasent class, and is trying to bring them down to make themselves feel better.
People in the siege of Μεσολόγγι to cover the hunger that the turks caused by blocking naval trade they ate seaweed dogs cats bugs and even dead bodies the fact that this is what you Chinese come up to eat is really what makes me laugh so hard China trully amazing they made my ancestors rethink their food choices after getting shot by the turks
Impressive instead of copying something from our Greek cuisine you took rocks and said hmm yes I can fry them and eat them no hate to the people of China but seriously you struggled to make your own pens
China is a economy that needs other countries to sustain itself
You have lose 20 social credit
I very much agree with the observation of how these “influencers” are part of a phenomenon encouraging very low-value(to society) content/products and how this is becoming so common in stimulating otherwise struggling economies in developed countries like China and the US.
"Stone Soup" comes to mind.
Maybe the boatman from centuries ago was scamming someone out of their garlic, oil, and peppers.
I remember that book. They suckered all the villagers to pitch in with different ingredients, which, at the end, turned to be more than stone soup.
Learn to hustle
I cannot believe this is actually real
Socialism. Poor as f.
I know a brilliant salesman who could sell ice to an Eskimo. A more brilliant salesman could sell inedible rocks to people as stir fry!
Well we already know brilliant salesman tried to sell his paintings even tho he cant even draw.
Wait until you see the fried ice video...
This same channel showed stir fried ice. I kid you not!
Believe it or not, the economy is just very bad in China. This isn’t even funny, it’s just sad.
That's gotta be rich in minerals! 😂
Pretty metal if you ask me
Imagine swallowing it by accident 😂😂
U choke and possibly die :)
Death
Pretty sure it was so yummy someone took a bite.
Exactly! My tots too!
Imagine someone suddenly swallowing it and not cocking on it. There's 2 options either you have to force it out up or down both is still worst.
Third option have a doctor surgically remove it from the stomach costing even more that the $ 2.30 you paid for.
If they aren't careful about what the pebbles actually are they could poison someone via chemical reaction and/or leaching material from them..
That not how chemical reaction works...
@@blooddemonart3860that is wumao
They don’t care, ie bat soup.
@@quentinlemaitre2998 you realize most bats are eaten in Africa and and Southeast Asia right
Then it’s the US and China after that
@@blooddemonart3860 If the food is acidic and the rock is able to be dissolved by weak acid, that's a chemical reaction. Depending on what it is it might react otherwise, as well.
Just another day in China.
Diners who said these pebbles are delicious dish is no different from the king who parade himself wearing an invisible clothes.
This is some massive choking hazard, with added teeth shattering tendencies.
I bet their dentists love it.... 😂
That's a Heavy Meal 😮.
And definitely not a happy one, I guess.
That dish rocks🫢
I hope nobody will accidentally swallowed or choked on those pebbles. I personally wouldn't take that risk.
I'm sure some will. People choke on real food, they will choke on rocks.
Why do they even publish this publicly. Our children can watch this you know. A disaster is just around the corner for our innocent kids.
@@nazara9878coz it isn't youtube's/the internet's job to teach your children. If you think your children are such morons, maybe don't let them go on the internet :)
Especially pebbles, so slippery
Did they ever stop to think that maybe those boatmen had gone completely insane once they saw them start to eat rocks
Why so much anti India hatred in the comments section of a chinese media video which has got absolutely nothing to do with India!?
Ya i see a lot a thing too, not just an indian, but also other...
Exactly
probably cause of associations of indian food with this
It's probably a campaign of the Chinese propaganda department, not just anti India, a lot of bot accounts pretend to be Indian to make India look bad. They would say things like "China is so advanced, we Indian are still very poor and wish to be Chinese...."
What Indian?
You can also add milk to the pebbles for a hearty breakfast ❤
So it’s come to this.
I ever visiting Beijing street market and i saw a starfish skewer and its looks hard as rock as well
I need concrete kabab with lime stone and marble Malai masala
Watching the video reminded me one of my favorite folk tales from my childhood! The stone soup.😅😁
Same.
in my place there are a variation called "boot soup"..that nasty af..
Same. We had a chapter called "Stone soup in Bohemia". Amazing chapter.
That grill work is flawless
I’d eat grass before I eat rocks yall bold af 💀😭😭😭😭😭
Reminds me of the stone soup story
Same. But in this one, they actually made it a business venture. 😅
After you eat you can re use it mixed with sand and cement for construction 🚧 china is amazing 🤩
pebbles soup is very famous in france it's a real legend
Why don't you put something edible instead of stones. That would be delicious
That would be just a normal thing not some trendy internet-hungry-for-likes things. They would do anything to become viral on social media.
The guy invented this must have 1m social credit plus a gold medal entrepreneur.
Credit score*
America has a social credit score but it's just called a credit score because we don't actually care about your moral character
@@alvinyakitori8720 it actually inspired the Chinese one, but the Chinese one is less intrusive. Credit score could dictate whether you have a car and a home or not. And not having a car means not having a job...
@@richhornie7000I used to take the bus to the jobs I had. It can be done.
Now this is the crunchy texture that I like
I thought I've seen everything until today,, THANK YOU CHINA
I feel sad because pebbles from rivers are now in garbage bin and this is bad for our rivers
I would love it medium rare.
Cooking taken to a whole new level.
Say what you will, but these were the tastiest rocks we ever had.
I thought nothing else could surprise me about food culture in China. Now, this is definitely unexpected, but understood. Amazing.
This feels dystopian....
Kinda reminded me of childhood of playing home back when Im just 6 years old
No wonder they can eat grass for a year.
🤣🤣
Yes, the cows in India are well fed.
@@misterbig9025 Do you eat Scotch fillets?
Gives another meaning to '$hitting Bricks'
Stir fried Pebbles!
Grilled Ice Cubes!
What’s next? Iron Chow Mein
Often overlooked is the fact that the pebbles fit into a small sack think sock and can be used to knock over the stand, allowing you to buy a real meal later for only 2.5 dollars
Oh man.. I swallowed a rock! 🪨
Some country: eat clay, and rock mineral
Comment: wow, interesting
China: flavored rock for drinking
Comment: dystopia
Yeah I don't get this comment section. Brain-rot central
Where do i get the receipe?
There was a story I read years ago about "Nail Soup". Why am I reminded of it...
As someone probably already said this is famine food.
This sounds like something a dystopia country would feed the poor with
Literally says invented by starving boatman
Satan, you vile being! Do not tempt me with that profile picture! Out!
@@HowToChangeName Yes. But it still sounds like something Arasaka would feed to the peasants of Night City
If we don't get Democrats out of office, we're next
Feeding the poor need high calories food. Does my answer too serious for a joke comment 😂
when times are tough!! Chinese do really eat everything!!! Soon the table and chair will go as well
This is pure genius.
I remembered last night watching SpongeBob with my friends and we found one Ice cream brand name Rocky Road (with real rock).
Now, I watch this be like : 🗿
What was the brand name?
@@_curiousTina_ Barg-N-Mart Rocky Road (Now with Real Rocks!) In episode Goodbye Krabby Patty?
@@mynameis01234 thanks, I didn't comprehend the sentences together so I thought it was real rock ice cream 😂 was gonna try and feed it to my coworkers 😏
When your so poor you can only afford flavor.
This is obviously odd, but I dont get the hate. Those fresh herbs and sauce are probaly amazing and I'm guessing the rocks have a unique mineral flavor. Plus they aren't eating the rocks. Saying that "tHeY EAt rOcKs" is like saying people eat popsicle sticks and barbecue skewers.
Bruh
@@lowe_sa2976 bruh
bruuhhhh
When the country ran out of food. The only dish available would be stone dish.
It's actually a great way to satisfy food cravings without overeating.
A harty bonbon without calories.
I just realised the word "pebbles" sounds really cute
Pebbles is a Flintstones character, her friend is BamBam! Fact
Walk into an eatery, then walk further into a hospital
Reminds me of mr krabs try to taste rotten dusty krabby patty ham then straight into hospiral
remember to not swallow
When I was younger the states had something called Stone Soup. It was such a popular dish they made a book out of it.
This is like a throwback to the Great Chinese Famine of 1959-1961.
Back to the “Great Leap Backwards” era. 😒 😢
Ah yes, give me my heart attack inducing oil as a meal...
The translation from the chef is “It will be ready in 5 minutes, just wait a moment”
The febbles turned into a crispy 🍤🍤🦐 😋
Chinese cuisine during the cultural revolution be like:
Kidney stone 😂😂
Is this a out of season aprilfools joke ?
It's fooking raw!
No frickin' way! But that crunch tho. 😄
For that 2 dollar u already got bowl of rice
I thought people don't have rocks in there head, but now I believe they do if you are conned to buy rocks as food.
Say it with me..."They don't eat the rocks"
the creativity of these comments got me rolling 🤣
There was this one time in band camp my Chinese classmate brought this then an hour later I caught him out the back of the food hall and he was sh*tting out a tiny house made of pebbles. It was amazing.
Well if this snack was invented centuries ago and this guy is still in business then there must be something 👍 about it.
No it wasn't
or it never really had much history at all. I could be wrong but it's always valuable to be skeptical
So this is the kind of people who buy NFTs.
People will waste their money on anything
@@scootergrant8683 I did had a history. There are cooking stones that are used in dishes such as pastas and soups. They essentially act like sea flavoring to the dishes since most rocks/pebbles used for cooking are from the sea, rivers, and or oceans. This also applied to big rock salts where you could guess what it is used for.
Those food are considered as famine food since they are mostly foraged in the wild and used in times of severe shortage of food for the poor who cannot afford meals. Lobsters, oysters, scrapped fish parts, scorpions, seaweed, and spiders are considered famine food, which nowadays, are a delicacy and are now more expensive.
Nonsense.
What a f'd up idea!! I think now that I'm going to go out to stir fry my driveway
I rather eat this then plastic food being sold as real one
Are the stones reusable or disposable 🤔
They arent supposed to be used as food to begin with.....
Might end up getting kidney stones in long term..
Huh? That's not how you get kidney stones...
"IF YOUUUU SMELLLLLLLL, what the ROCK is COOKING?"
We had a chapter called "Stone soup in Bohemia". It had same storyline.
Red riding hood cooked one of these rocks looong looong time ago🐺🍽️.......
Still more appetizing than Cambodian food.
Why are you saying that? Cambodian food seems to be similar to Thai food.
@@canuck21 A Frankenstein freak version of Thai food. Ew.
Whoever is in charge for marketing all the pebbles, fried ice, and fake meats and rice are pure genius!
Theres this quite rare dish in my place where empty mostly chicken bones are covered in the usual brown nut sauce and just licked on, Though the pebbles are more extreme its understandable.
Chicken bones still edible...
nut sauce?
@@shafwandito4724they aren't eating the rocks! Jesus christ. I'd rather lick a saucy rock than scarf down a plate of chicken bones.
only in china....
Cleaner than most things I see in hawker stalls tbh. I assume they clean the rocks beforehand.
They're ROCKS
This dish will make you reflect about your life and ponder about hunger and poverty. 👍
Examples of "Socialism with Chinese Characteristics"
- 154 million Chinese tourists
- The world's largest economy by PPP
- Largest trading partner to 139 countries
- China totally eradicated poverty
- China is the top 5 performer on the World Hunger Index
Do you wanna try Indian democracy?
It feels like bathing in the Ganges river
It has not eradicated poverty. Living in cages as we many have seen on videos available from your country. For the control of citizens your country start to resemble N Korea. Much concern.
"China totally eradicated poverty"
Least delusional Wumao.
What I resort to when my food runs out in a colony manager game:
I would 100% eat this. I’m autistic and have always enjoyed licking rocks. This dish seems fun!
Is that vegan? Asking for a friend..but that would be the most veganish dish of all vegan hahaha
