In reply to Angela. I lived in Beijing for over a decade, and I did enjoy every single one of these many times (except for the liver). I don't think anyone cares where they are actually found, other than people in Beijing enjoy these street food. Besides, I'm not going to go to Shaanxi just to eat the 肉夹馍. If anyone tells me I shouldn't eat one of these foods because it isn't 'beijingese' I would tell them not to be an obnoxious ass.

These foods are not beijingese. There’s actually like three things in that list that’s actually from Beijing. It’s an amalgamation of regional cuisines in China. It’s like telling you to try pizza in Milan when it’s actually Neapolitan. Sure there are pizzerias in Milan but nobody would tell tourists that they have to try the pizza there. The author needs to do more research and be more nuanced about Chinese cuisine. Not just assume it’s all the same because it can be found in a city.

In reply to Richard Tunner. Great! Yes, perhaps I should have added that the safest bet would be going with a local or someone who can tell you what everything is!

We booked the Night Market tour for our first evening in Beijing. This worked very well for us as it allowed us to try a range of unfamiliar foods with the safety of someone who knew what was tasty and safe!
