A dish of snails is not as interesting as

Snails can be divided into conch and river snail. This article mainly talks about snails from rivers and lakes. Snails are cheap and rich. The content of calcium in their meat is more than 11 times that of cattle, sheep and pork, and the content of phosphorus, iron and vitamins is also higher than that of chickens, ducks and geese.

The literature records

"":"Snails are found everywhere in lakes and streams, as big as fingers, and their shells are thicker than river snails. Eat mud. In the spring, people put it in a pot and steam it, and its meat comes out, and the wine is cooked and cooked. "

A Summary of Materia Medica: "Snail is a medicine for relieving alcoholic fever, eliminating jaundice, clearing fire eyes and benefiting the large intestine."

How to eat:

There are many ways to eat snails, which can be fried with onions, ginger, soy sauce, cooking wine and white sugar, or cooked to pick out snail meat, which can be mixed, drunk, bad and simmered. If eaten properly, it can really be called "a dish of snails is as interesting as a thousand dishes, and delicious food is not as good as it is".

There are different ways to eat snails in different places. It is said that people in Hunan can't sip snails when they eat them, so they have to pick them out with a needle and fry them in oil. People in Shanghai and Hangzhou eat snails naturally by sipping. The snail's tail was cut off with scissors and soaked in the cooked soup, which tasted particularly delicious. When people in Guangdong and Guangxi fry snails, they like to use garlic and fresh perilla leaves as ingredients, which not only makes the snail meat more delicious, but also has a certain bactericidal effect. Shanghai night food stalls, stir-fried snails is a housekeeping dish, interestingly, after the spring night food stalls and snails recovered together, if there is no snail substrate, the Shanghai style may be inferior. Shaoxing people are known as "fried snails are too old to drink, and robbers will not leave when they come", and it goes without saying that they are addicted to snails. People in northern Jiangsu like to entertain guests with "fried leeks with snails", and its delicious taste can also make people salivate. Su Dongpo is a family, but it's a pity that Mr. Su Dongpo can't suck snails. According to legend, Su Dongpo exhausted his internal strength, but he couldn't suck out the snail meat. Originally, this man didn't cut off the snail tail, so he had to pick and eat it with a bamboo needle, and he didn't know how to eat snails. He ended up as a laughing stock of "Dongpo eats snails-pick slowly".

The Hani people have pickled bamboo shoots to cook snails: the snails are fried in a salt pan until the cover of the snails is removed and the oil is added, until they are cooked in a bowl, the pickled bamboo shoots are slightly fried in the pan, the pepper, dried tangerine peel and boiled water are slightly boiled, the fried snails are added, and mint is added. Jingpo people also have snail soup: stir-fry snails with shells until they pop, add water, ginger, garlic and sour bamboo shoots, and boil.

Bai people have a unique skill. They take off the testis attached to the tail of snails, scald them with hot water, and they become yellow snails. The essence of snail in Huang Nai is a high protein with high nutritional value, and its price is ten times higher than that of snail. The soup is made of snail yellow and snail tofu which is not precipitated by boiled snails, and sprinkled with chopped green onion and turnip, which is delicious. After eating snail tofu soup, it is refreshing and refreshing, and the energy is doubled. No wonder foreigners who travel to Dali have to taste snail tofu soup at high prices.

Edible instructions

Snails should not be burned immediately after they are bought, otherwise they will not taste refreshing, and there is always some sediment in them. After the snails are bought, they are floated with clear water for 1-2 days, so that the snails can spit out the dirty things in their stomachs. If you sprinkle a little salt or drop a few drops of sesame oil on clear water, the dirty things in the snail's stomach will vomit faster. Before eating, use pliers to remove the shell of the snail tail, without too much clamping, so that it can be easily sucked out after it is done. If it's snail meat, wash it well when you buy it. First soak it in salt water for 5~, and then use it to scratch hard. Rinse it several times, and be sure to wash it clean, otherwise it will make your mouth astringent.

guide to purchasing

There is knowledge in selecting snails. The big snails are old in meat, and the small snails are not easy to suck out, so moderate is the best. After the Qingming Festival, most snails have seeds, so it is difficult to choose the ones without seeds. Generally, if you choose medium-sized snails, the chances of seedlessness will be much higher (most of the small snails are seedless but inconvenient to eat).

Taboos for eating

1. Snails are cold, so people are also picky when eating snails. People with spleen and stomach deficiency and cold should not eat it. If they must eat it, add some ginger to drive away the cold. In addition, people who are suffering from cold and wind can't eat it; Girls can't eat during menstruation; Do not eat after childbirth.

2- snails are delicious and mouth-watering, which may cause hepatitis A and schistosomiasis if they are not handled properly, and indigestion if they are eaten too much. This is because snails are rich in sugar. Eating too much at one time not only hinders the absorption of iron, but also easily causes discomfort symptoms such as indigestion, diarrhea and so on.

3. Old people who eat more snails will have arteriosclerosis. As the elderly get older, their physical function declines, and their kidney's ability to excrete waste decreases. At this time, if they eat snails in large quantities and eat too much plant sugar, it will inevitably increase the nitrogen-containing waste generated in the body, increase the burden on the kidneys and further decline the renal function. Therefore, the elderly should eat snails in moderation.

4. I especially remind everyone to choose snails carefully and eat snails carefully, especially if they cannot be eaten continuously for a long time, let alone dead snails.
