The scientific name of the field snail is the Chinese round field snail, which is easy to touch in freshwater lakes, reservoirs, rice fields, ponds and ditches throughout China
Because its meat is tender and delicious, high nutrition, and has the effect of clearing heat and quenching thirst and bright purpose, especially our hometown people also prefer to eat snails is a considerable range of names, it is gastropods, mid-gastropods
Their common feature is that there is a conical or gyroscopic shell, the shell surface is smooth or there are ridges, spines and other convexities, the shell mouth has a lid, when the body is indented into the shell, the three can completely close the shell mouth. It prefers to live in the bottom layer of lakes, ponds, and ditches where the water flows slowly or statically, and uses its tongue to help feed on epiphytic algae. Hermaphroditic, oviparous, small snails develop and grow in the female snail before being excreted.
For foodies, they may not care much about what kind of snail they eat, but for classification control, forcing science popularization on the dinner table is a very appetizing thing - I don't eat anyway.
The most frequent occurrence of field snails on the dinner table generally comes from two genera of the field snail family. One is the genus Ishida snail, the most common of which is the ishida snail, which is often referred to as the "snail". It is not large, about a little larger than the glass balls played with as a child, and the surface of the shell has rings.
The second is the genus Round Field Snail, generally called field snail, which can grow to the size of a ping-pong ball, or even larger, and the shell surface is smooth. The most common are the Chinese round field snail and the Chinese round field snail.
From the perspective of the name, the real field snail is a species of the genus Field snail. The genus is the oldest genus in the family Tian snail, which is only distributed in a small amount in China, and you generally can't eat this kind of field snail. For example, the northeast field snail is only distributed in the northeast region, and the three-belt field snail is only distributed in several tributaries of the Yuanjiang River basin.
Also from the perspective of the name, real snails are also difficult to eat. They are snail species, a genus endemic to China, only distributed in a few lakes in Yunnan Province, with a larger shape than the round field snail, can grow to 7-8 cm in size, the shell has a lot of ridges and spines, a bit like a conch, how can such a large snail be good?
The answer is yes, at least the ancient people have been eating, and even in the middle of the last century there are a lot of food, but now because the lake is heavily polluted, it is rare to see, or obediently go back to eat round field snail and ishida snail.
How big are the real snails?
In addition, there are many versions of the Chinese folklore "Tian Luo Girl", which is basically Tian Luo transformed into a human form to fall in love with poor working people, help them cook rice and wash, get married and have children, eliminate violence and anliang and other obscene plots, but trace back to the source, the legend first appeared in the "White Water Vegetarian Girl" section of the "Fa Meng Ji" written by Shu Hao of the Jin Dynasty:
It can be seen that the original form of the field snail girl is not a field snail, but a sea snail.
When I was a child, I ate ishida snails, usually after washing, I took the pliers to clip off the tip of the shell, and then added spices to fry, and clipped off the shell tip to make the stir-fry more flavorful, and it was convenient to suck the meat out from the shell mouth.
When I was a child, I was more gluttonous, or I liked to eat fried field snails, but when I ate, I took a toothpick to pick meat, and after picking out the snail meat, I still had a spiral-shaped offal mass behind it, which was afraid of eating this part, so I never sucked it directly. If you happen to encounter the breeding season of snails, you will also suck a small snail, which is very disgusting.
Later, I was more and more lazy to eat, I thought it was cumbersome to pick meat with toothpicks, so I didn't eat the snail with shell, but fortunately there were leeks fried snail meat, and then later, I thought the snail meat was too small to eat the taste, so I didn't even eat the leek snail meat, as for the big round field snail, I haven't even seen it.
Stir-fried field snails, according to this size, should be round field snails.
Round field snail method and Ishida snail is similar, nothing more than stir-frying, braised, stewed soup, etc., the difference between various methods is only in the seasoning, some places are spicy, some places are heavy soy sauce, or rice wine, or bean paste, or perilla basil, and even add sour shoots, with rice noodles.
However, this is the first time I have heard of this method of snail stuffing, you need to blanch the snail in water for half cooking, then dig out the meat, chop it, and then mix it with the minced meat and spices of other creatures, mix well, and then stuff it back into the shell and cook it back into the pot. Such cumbersome practices must be round field snails, which are too small to be plugged up.
It should be noted that do not eat uncooked snails, including dozens of gastropods including Chinese round field snails are the intermediate hosts of Guangzhou tube roundworm, this nematode will invade brain tissue, harm the central nervous system, serious can lead to death. Therefore, do not eat the snail raw in order to make it fresh.
Send a look at the newly caught snail yesterday, and still don't think about how to eat it?
