What impressed me most about eating food was the sentence "There must be no mermaid in the world, otherwise its practice and taste will go down in history". Especially in China's 5,000-year-old civilization, whenever something can be touched, people will always try to see how it tastes and whether it can be widely eaten by people.

Why does China have the saying "the first person to eat crabs"? It's not because China has never lacked food warriors who try new things.

However, in the face of a delicious food, the vast number of China people are discouraged from eating.

Food that China does not encourage is regarded as a treasure by Africans.

This thing, in fact, is often encountered in our lives. It is the famous African snail.

African snail is the largest snail species in the world. Its body length can grow to more than 30 centimeters. Compared with most snails, they are only the size of a thumb. People may not be able to control African snails. African snails originated in hot and humid areas of Africa, but due to the intensification of human activities and trade, African snails have already spread all over the world.

In China, African snails are listed as one of the first 16 invasive species, and they like to eat crops, which is extremely harmful to the development of agriculture, vegetables, grain and other crops. Moreover, African snails are also the intermediate hosts of many parasites and pathogens, especially tuberculosis and eosinophilic meningitis, which will be extremely harmful to people.

Therefore, in China, African snails are national second-class quarantine pests, and foodies are also discouraged from them.

However, in Africa, Africans regard the big snail as a treasure and a delicacy in their lives. It is understood that in Africa, more than 1000 tons of African snails are eaten a year. Although African giant snails breed very fast and can lay 30-700 eggs at a time, African locals need to rely on artificial breeding to meet people's food needs.

In Ghana, Africa, snails are the main part of the food culture here. People here like to entertain guests with snail dishes best. They also think that it is because they like and respect this distinguished guest that they brought them snail meals. Ghanaians also treat snails in various ways, such as frying, roasting, steaming, frying and even making soup. The dishes are very rich.

However, although we respect the cultural traditions of other countries, as far as we are concerned, it is best not to try such a big snail.
