"We all like those mushrooms and that restaurant, and we haven't had any adverse reactions because we ate them." Recently, US Treasury Secretary Yellen talked to CNN about her special experience of tasting Yunnan mushrooms during her visit to China in July.
Yellen visited China in July. The topic of eating Yunnan cuisine for his first meal after arriving in Beijing has attracted attention on Chinese social media, with a cumulative reading of over 6.75 million related posts.
In the picture, the Weibo account certified as "the founder of Yunnan cuisine, sit and forget" announced on July 7th that "US Treasury Secretary Yellen has arrived. Judging from the time of reading the news, she really arrived in China after being dusty. The salesperson said she loves mushrooms very much, and when she saw her hands green, she ordered four servings. It was an incredibly magical day."
On August 14th, a CNN reporter interviewed Yellen and asked about his experience of eating mushrooms.
Recalling the group dinner at that time, Yellen said, "There was a delicious mushroom dish. I didn't know these fungi had a hallucinogenic effect at the time. I only found out later." She also said that the dinner was not organized by her, and she didn't order anything.
When the host of the CNN program joked about any strange hallucinations, Yellen continued, "I understand that if the mushrooms are cooked properly, they won't have any impact. Of course, I believe this very good restaurant does it that way."
Yellen also said, "We all like those bacteria, that restaurant, and we haven't had any adverse reactions because we ate them."
According to the introduction, the hand green fungus is named after the indigo color that appears after being pressed or bumped by the mushroom meat. Although it is delicious, it contains toxins. If consumed recklessly due to improper processing, it is easy to cause hallucinogenic or gastrointestinal reactions and other toxic phenomena.
