Would you dare to try?

1. Flower cakes

This dessert looks quite familiar, because small round buns do not cause bewilderment. But the filling is not at all simple: it consists of rose petals. The seller does not tell you how they are processed, but the buyers do not care. In the reviews they write that the dough is shortbread and fatty, and more fillings could be put. The taste is generally described as delicate and the rose is said to be distinctly felt.

2. Spicy appetizer

This dish has 35 orders and not a single review, which leads to bad thoughts. But if you put that aside, the appetizer seems completely harmless: pieces of tofu are fried in spices and hot chili. The dish is easy to cook at home, so the question of why order it and wait a month, or even more, remains open.

3. Sesame leaves

And this snack certainly cannot be found in the nearest store. The vendor offers a jar of sesame leaves marinated in soy sauce and spices. According to the description on the product page, the leaves can be eaten as a stand-alone dish, but the flavor will be more fully revealed when used in combination with rice or fried meat.

4. Gelatin dessert

Each of the gelatinous candies is supplied individually packed, in a box they can be 0, 5 or 1 kg. The list of ingredients is quite common: honey, nuts, seeds. Only in the name of the dessert there is also a wolfberry, but it seems that this is still a mistake in the automatic translation. Despite this, 69 people were not afraid to place an order, and 11 of them even left reviews with four and five stars.

5. Fast food lunch

An ideal dish for anyone who has long wanted to try authentic Chinese food that is not served in restaurants. The package contains 350 g of a full meal: potatoes, lotus root, noodles, mushrooms, bamboo, seaweed, ham and spices. The brewing time is about 15 minutes. In the product description, you can find step-by-step instructions on how to do this.

6. Pork

We all know what pork looks like. But what the seller offers is very different from the general idea. Dark meat is in a cloudy shell, which is made of either leather or something else. If you're ready to experiment and have no fear, it's worth a try.

7. Beef sauce

The sauce goes well with pasta, rice and other side dishes - as the seller claims, but there were no daredevils to try the dish. The sauce contains pieces of beef, hot spices, flour, orange peel and other ingredients. It is strange that there was nothing on the list that would explain the cost of almost two thousand rubles for 200 g.

8. Capsules

To be honest, we didn't quite understand what it was. In the pictures, some capsules represent a finished outlandish dish, while others are filled with water or something very similar to it. The title does not clarify the situation either. If you can figure out what it is, write in the comments.

9. Vegetarian steak

The taste of tofu baked with spices does not immediately reveal itself: the seller writes that the longer you chew the steak, the more aromatic and tasty it becomes. He also claims that "even the Buddha wants to eat him." Who are we to argue?

10. Tea

At first glance, it looks more like dried worms or another strange snack, but definitely not tea. But nevertheless - this is it. Hong Kong mountain tea, which can relieve fatigue and has a rejuvenating effect. The seller's promises sound pretty. But whether this is true is still unknown: tea has only six orders and not a single review.
