The third brother of India has done a new trick again! This time it's a hand-grabbing scavenger!
Indian hand pilaf
The scavenger is notorious, the dog shakes his head when he sees it, and the cat sniffs tears. On the mainland it is a foul-smelling invasive species that foodies are reluctant to touch. Just when everyone thought that no creature could restrain the scavenger, the third brother of India stood up in time and told the world: Anything is possible!
So why can Indians subdue scavengers? To know this question we first have to understand: What kind of fish is a scavenger? Why don't Chinese eat scavengers? How does India treat scavengers? What lessons can we learn from this?
You can escape the Chinese table, but you can't avoid the Indians grabbing it with their hands! Why did the scavengers meet their nemesis when they got to the Ganges?

What kind of fish is a scavenger?
The scavenger's scientific name is leopard-printed catfish, which is a freshwater fish living in Central and South America, omnivorous, and can eat both the carcasses of animals in the river and the moss at the bottom of the river when food is scarce.
Scavengers were originally introduced to the mainland as ornamental fish, and in order to sell them, the gimmick that merchants came up with was that it would automatically clean up the debris from the fish tank, so when selling other fish, the scavengers would be included. However, the breeders soon discovered that as long as there was a scavenger in the water, the other fish should not want to live, because it ate almost everything. The scavenger's mouth looks like a vacuum cleaner, and whatever it can suck in, it will all be swallowed into the stomach.
Scavengers were introduced to China as "ornamental fish"
The people who bought the scavenger were so angry that overnight the fish lost its aura in the pet pen, and the manufacturers who originally raised it threw a large number of scavengers into the river. Scavengers who come to exotic countries are like rats that have fallen into a rice tank, there are no natural enemies, food is abundant, and soon the scavengers occupy many rivers on the mainland, and their greatest harm to local fish is that they will eat fish eggs. A scavenger can suck in 3,000 fish eggs in a day with its vacuumer-like mouth.
So these scavengers turned against the guests, set up camp on the mainland, and also went all the way north. At this time, some people will wonder, China's foodies are so powerful, can't they eat scavengers? In fact, China has really thought about using scavengers as edible fish, but the effect is not obvious.
Braised fish served to the table
Why don't Chinese eat scavengers?
The first reason Chinese don't eat scavengers is that it has very little meat. Scavengers are typical bone-wrapped meat, that is, there are many bones on the body and very little meat, but it is almost impossible for fish without meat to become edible fish on the mainland. Some people will say that crayfish don't have much meat, don't they eat a lot of fun? Here we have to say the second shortcoming of the scavenger - it is unpalatable!
The scavenger's flesh is very poor, and it is a scavenger, and the body is always smelled with a mixture of mud and sand mixed with fish carcasses, and ordinary cooking methods cannot suppress the stench on the scavenger's body. In addition, the scavenger is notorious for where it swims dirty, and the section of the river where it lives is usually very polluted, and the heavy metal ions on the scavenger's own body are seriously exceeded. These are mixed together to create very unpalatable scavenger meat.
Dirty looking scavenger
So China's current approach to dealing with scavengers is to catch them and crush them, or dry them and beat them into powder to make feed for feeding cats, dogs, or other carnivorous fish. However, scavengers generally live closer to the bottom of the river, and many sections of the river are now closed to fishing, which makes it more difficult to eliminate the scavengers who have invaded the river.
Are we allowing such an invasive species to be bullied to the head? Don't worry, there is now a new path to weed out the scavengers, and that is to export to indians. You might not imagine that the invasive species scavengers who run rampant in many countries have become a delicacy in "clean and hygienic" India.

How do Indians treat scavengers?
India was invaded by scavengers for almost identical reasons to China, also because it was introduced as an ornamental fish. And the open-hanging Indians have also bred many strange scavenger species, such as gold and zebra. However, India is also a country with strong faith, and some people can't see that the scavengers are trapped in the fish tank, so they "kindly" release them into the holy river in their hearts, the Ganges.
A new breed of scavenger
Guys, the Ganges is like it's designed specifically for scavengers. Dirty bodies of water are particularly suitable for scavengers to swim in, and various corpses floating in the Ganges provide scavengers with countless foods. It didn't take long for the Ganges to become a paradise for scavengers outside of their homeland. However, the happy scavengers at this time did not know that the Indians on the shore had already shed hungry saliva at it.
Garbage in the Ganges provided food for the scavengers
India has a high percentage of vegetarians in the world, not because Indians don't want to eat meat, but because of their religious beliefs. But there is a loophole in this belief that Indians can exploit, and that is that animals invading India are not protected by religion. Because invasive species are not welcomed in every country, it is necessary for Indians to eliminate these alien species if they want to protect their native animals. Therefore, eating these invasive species is not restricted by religion.
This was a godsend for the extremely protein-deficient Indians, who, without the slightest hesitation, reached out their hands to the scavengers and grabbed them with their bare hands when they saw them.
Indians grab scavengers by hand
However, Chinese foodies have led by example to prove that scavengers are not delicious and have a certain smell, so how can Indians get their mouths shut? "Clean and hygienic" Indian food will always exceed everyone's imagination.
India is best known for its various spices, curry powder, devil pepper, so they used these spices to marinate the scavengers in three layers and three layers after catching the scavengers. After that, it is put on the fire and grilled, and after baking, it is directly on the traditional art - hand grasping. A fragrant hand-grabbed scavenger is made, and the rice mixed with them is really "clean and hygienic". As for the taste, you don't know, but Indians eat it quite happily.
A wide variety of Indian spices in the spice market
So how do Indians solve the problem that scavengers are covered with toxins because of their dirty living environment? This Indian is even less afraid, because the scavengers live in the Ganges of India, and it can be said that the Indians and the scavengers on both sides of the Ganges grew up drinking the same kind of water, and they are born from the same root.
The water of the Ganges is the world's famous germ culture medium, from which Indians have learned to attack poison with poison, thus casting their super resistance. The Indian body, which can successfully survive to adulthood, is more or less resistant to pathogenic bacteria far more than humans in other regions, so what is the toxin in the scavenger's body?
After being grilled over the fire, the fish becomes even more delicious
So what kind of solution can the scavengers meet their nemesis in the Ganges bring to China, which is also suffering from scavengers?
What does it teach us?
For this practice of the indian third brother, Chinese can only mean that he cannot learn! Can't learn!
Count me out
First, scavengers' unpalatable meat is unlikely to be accepted by most Chinese. The mainland's food culture pays attention to color, aroma and taste, how to ensure the taste of scavengers? Even if it is marinated with spices, its meat quality cannot be changed! Secondly, we do not have the super resistance of the third brother, they live in a "clean and hygienic" environment, they can do a hundred poisons, we can't! Blind imitation will only put the citizens of their own country in a more dangerous situation.
China's meat is abundant
Finally, there is no shortage of meat in China. Indians eat scavengers like crazy mainly because the average person simply can't get enough protein. India does not eat beef, pork and many other animals because of religious problems, and they eat chicken the most. However, chicken in India is very expensive, which makes most people unable to afford meat. Many foods in India are all kinds of paste, the reason is that the raw materials they get are very poor, just to see what the original is, they are made into a paste with heavy flavor spices.
Paste-like food is no more common on the Indian table
We are different, China's meat is very rich, it can be said that as long as the people want to buy, they can always buy the meat they want to eat. With so many sources of protein to eat, why bother eating this dirty, smelly, and unpalatable scavenger? Isn't this just looking for yourself?
Chinese is generosity
So I admire the Indians for daring to eat scavengers and eat so happily, and we can only say that we have a lot of scavengers here, do you want to import them?
