This particular snack shop is probably located near West 2nd Ring Road Rd.<\/a> just inside Guang'an Gate.\u00a0H\u00f9gu\u00f3 s\u00ec xi\u01ceoch\u012b \u62a4\u56fd\u5bfa\u5c0f\u5403<\/a> (\"Nation Protecting Temple snacks\") is a category of small shops selling traditional snack food that are found in many locations scattered around Beijing.<\/p>\n

The present location of the store was formerly the site of a famous temple fair in the western part of the city where the most famous \"small eats\" food brands flourished. In 1956 a state-owned traditional snack store was established.

Noshery (cf. \"eatery\") is derived from \"nosh\", from Yiddish<\/a> \u05e0\u05d0\u05b7\u05e9\u05df<\/a><\/i> \u200e(nashn<\/span>), from Middle High German<\/a> naschen<\/a><\/i> \u200e(\u201cnibble\u201d) (which is also the parent of German<\/a> naschen<\/a><\/i>).\u00a0 (Wiktionary<\/a>)<\/p>\n

It's curious that, on the signs of some H\u00f9gu\u00f3 s\u00ec xi\u01ceoch\u012b \u62a4\u56fd\u5bfa\u5c0f\u5403 (\"Nation Protecting Temple snacks\") shops, where the word \"noshery\" appears on this Fuqiao shop sign, there is Arabic writing.<\/p>\n

This is because these are halal shops run by Chinese Muslims (Hui).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
