There is a very popular Sichuan restaurant in Beijing, launched a cold snail dish, which was supposed to be made of conch, but in order to save costs, it was replaced by an economical and affordable Fushou snail, in order not to affect the taste of the snail, the chef only cooked for 3-5 minutes to get out of the pot.
As a result, more than 160 people had different degrees of symptoms because they ate the unripe Fushou snail meat, and after being sent to the hospital, they found that they were infected with Guangzhou roundworm. This was originally a parasite found in mice in Guangzhou, adults parasitize the lungs of mice, larvae will enter the water to parasitize in fish, shrimp, crabs and snails, etc. If people eat uncooked snail meat, they will be parasitized by roundworm tubes.
Most patients experience fever and vomiting, a very small number of patients have convulsions and burning sensations, and some even become paralyzed or die from hydrocephalus. Overnight, Fushou snails shouted and beat Chinese people, do you dare to eat such snails after seeing them? However, it is understood that the Fushou snails that make Chinese dare not mouth, the origin is not China, so where do they come from?
Can you imagine that? Fushou snail is an alien species introduced to China, and the reproductive rate is very fast, a Fushou snail can lay more than 50,000 eggs per year, the survival rate is very high, it only takes a period of time, you can find pieces of Fushou snail in the water, on the stone and in the wetland.
Especially as the temperature continues to rise, whether it is a park or a lake, you can see the mulberry-like pink objects formed by the eggs of fushou snails, which have a tendency to flood. More importantly, the origin of Fushou snail is not actually in the mainland, in the 1980s and 1990s, Fushou snail was introduced as an edible species, and then cultivated in large quantities in Guangzhou, Fujian and Sichuan.
Although they are large and thick, they do not taste good, so the audience is very small. Coupled with the rapid reproduction rate of Fushou snails, the number of parasites in the body is easy to endanger life, and it has now been listed as one of the major risky invasive alien organisms.
As a representative of foodies, China says that there are all kinds of delicacies to enjoy, so why should we stare at this life-threatening Fushou snail? But Indians do not think so, although the Fushou snail in the Chinese people shouting and beating, but in India has become a delicacy on the table, they not only dare to eat, but also the method is also various, why do Indians favor the Fushou snail?
Do you know? Fushou snails have made many Chinese avoided, but in India, they have become a gastronomic existence. In China, many people like to stir-fry, especially the feeling of sizzling out of the snail meat is so refreshing. It's just that the shell of the Fushou snail is hard and thick, and if it is not fully ripe, parasite infections often occur.
But in India, it is different, they feel that the protein content of Fushou snail is high, and the yield of large meat is still high, which has become an economical and affordable food in the eyes of Indians. In addition, they are not stir-fried like Chinese, but cooked in boiling water and then pick out the snails, adding some spices and curry, so that it is safe and delicious.
The most important point is that Indians have their own religious beliefs, and the vast majority of Indians are vegetarians and cannot eat large livestock such as pigs, horses, cattle, and sheep. Coupled with the huge gap between rich and poor in India, in order to supplement the protein needed by the human body, many Indians who can't afford to buy chicken have set their sights on the very cost-effective Fushou snail, as long as they work hard in the cooking method, they naturally do not have to worry about parasitic infections.
In the Chinese people shouted and beat the Fushou snail, but the Indians favored it, and there is really no harm without contrast, what do you think about this? Welcome to share in the comments section below!
