Fushou snail is a mollusk of the family Bottle Snail, The Bottle Snail genus, and its appearance is similar to that of the field snail. Native to South America, it gradually invaded other countries and is one of the more famous invasive species in the world, which is extremely harmful to agriculture. Fushou snails have a wide range of food, and there are no aquatic crops that they do not like to eat.
Today, the Snail has been listed by China's State Environmental Protection Administration as one of the most dangerous agricultural invasive alien organisms. In addition to the great harm in agriculture, the harm of Fushou snail to the human body is not small, and it is also described as "Longevity Snail".
Tian Luo is also the king of the supper stalls in China, and on summer nights, drinking with friends at the food stalls is a beautiful thing. However, this Fushou snail seemed out of place, not only did not become a member of the "national snack", but also fell to the point where everyone shouted and beat.
Why is Fushou snail so unpopular in China? The first is the problem of parasites, field snails basically have parasites, but There are many Fushou snails, and a Fushou snail has thousands of parasites. If you eat raw or eat uncooked Fushou snail, it is easy to cause "Guangzhou tube roundworm disease".
In fact, if all the snails are not fully cooked, people eating into the stomach is just as susceptible to parasite infection, causing discomfort. If the fushou snail can be fully cooked, it will not be too much of a problem to eat. But fu shou snail it lacks one very important thing, that is, taste.
As early as the 1980s, Fushou snails have appeared in China. At that time, an overseas Chinese introduced Fushou snail to the mainland Taiwan region and tried to breed it, because the Fushou snail multiplied quickly, had a large amount of meat, and seemed very reasonable as an edible snail.
However, after a long time of cooking, the meat quality becomes older and the taste is not good, much worse than our local snail. Shortening the cooking time can prevent the snail's flesh from getting old, but it cannot completely kill the parasites inside. Therefore, after the Fushou snail arrived in China, the market response was very poor; farmers did not raise it if they could not make money, and discarded it in the wild, resulting in the gradual flooding of Fushou snail in the mainland.
However, Fushou snail, which is powerless to even be a foodie on the mainland, did not expect to become a "fragrant food" in India and was eaten by Indians.
The third brother of India actually dared to eat Fushou snail, what is going on? Are they not afraid of contracting parasites? First of all, there is also a tendency for Fushou snails to flood in India, and there is a large number of them in the rivers and fields.
And because of religious beliefs, many people in India do not eat beef and pork. In addition, india has more poor people, and ordinary birds cannot afford to eat, so animals in the wild have become a source of meat for some Indians. The large amount of tube-full snails has become a good choice for Indians to supplement protein.
In addition, the way Indians eat Fushou snails can basically ensure that the parasites are killed by high temperatures. How do they eat it? Brush it first, then bring it to a boil in a pot, then pick out the snails.
Then add the oil, add the onion, tomato, etc. and stir-fry together with the snail meat, and finally add the Indian "universal seasoning" curry, and then stir well, the snail curry is ready, clean and hygienic. When eating, pour "snail curry" over the rice, which is authentic Indian food.
This cooking method of boiling and boiling is enough to kill the parasites in the Fushou snail. Even if it is not completely killed, the Indians dare to withstand the "iron stomach" of the Ganges River, and the little parasite is in their eyes, and rounding it up is also a little protein.
