Chinese cuisine is broad and profound, after a long period of evolution and self-contained system, cooking techniques, as many as a dozen kinds, frying and frying, stewing and simmering, each showing its magic, no matter what kind of ingredients, in the hands of the chef, can become a delicious dish, but think carefully, horse meat is also meat, why is there very little circulation on the market, whether in supermarkets, or vegetable markets, there is almost no existence of horse meat, all pigs, cattle, sheep, chicken, duck and so on, so why do people almost do not eat horse meat?
In our impression, the horse has been working hard, when farming, you can use the horse-drawn set, when marching, you can also use the horse as a pioneer, before there was no car and other means of transportation, the horse can also carry people, it can be said that the horse provides great help for people, the horse for mankind, tired all his life, so people are not willing to eat it, in fact, the truth is not far from ten.
The north is salty, the south is sweet, this habit is also handed down, people inherit the tradition of the ancestors, until the last resort, horse meat can not be eaten, marching and fighting, long journeys, are inseparable from the merits of horses, over time, people inherit this legacy, there is no idea of beating horse meat.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > horse meat is also a kind of meat, why does it feel like no one eats it? </h1>
I think there are three points
1, too few horses
In our place, the entire county population of 600,000, not even the existence of a horse, instead, is a large area of pigs, cattle and sheep, light farms are several, horses can only be seen in grasslands and pastoral areas, general plains and mountains are not common, horses breeding time is long, can not be fattened through feed, can not let it quickly fattening, from the cost of business to analyze, than other animal input is higher, economic benefits are not large, naturally raised people are less and less, horse meat is not common, selling horse meat is even less.
2. Emotional factors
As I said earlier, the horse is a humane animal, it seems to be able to understand the "human language", more loyal than other animals, is the earliest combat partner of mankind, a wordless comrade-in-arms, the wind and rain, if the owner falls from the horse's back, the horse will not abandon and run, but wait for the owner in place, or arch the master with his mouth, the old people often say "the old horse knows the way", as long as they walk the road again, the horse can know, from this point of view, the horse should start and end well, not until the last resort, can not appear in the kitchen.
In ancient times, horses were uniformly managed by the imperial court and could not be slaughtered at will, which was the fixed property of the state, and even the law stipulated that people's desire for horse meat was gradually diluted, and the warriors did not eat it, not to mention the common people, over time, not eating horse meat, as if it was imprinted in people's hearts.
3, the meat quality is not good
Friends who have eaten horse meat have said that horse meat is sour, sour and fishy, the implication is that it is unpalatable, from the taste point of view, not as good as beef mutton and pork, the muscle fibers of horse meat are rough, even thicker than beef, and moreover, the cuisine is less than horse meat, refined cooking cooking is also less, in the eight major cuisines, there is almost no menu of horse meat, horse meat is not bad for a day, pressure cooker is not good, people with bad teeth can not chew at all.
Among them, in some areas, people can still eat horse meat, horse jerky, as well as smoked horse meat, smoked horse intestines, which is also related to local customs and customs, generally in the steppe, there are many nomadic people, such as Kazakhs, every winter, they will take local materials, smoke horse intestines, make jerky, store winter grain, in some parts of Japan, there are even horse meat sashimi, cooked horse meat poured on rice, but the teeth must be good.
In general, the main thing is that the taste is not good, not welcomed by people, horse meat does not meet the mainstream taste, if it is delicious, the public must have demand, and like to hear.
