Vertebrae.
Sheep scorpion is actually the part of the vertebrae in the body of a sheep, because the whole body of a sheep is relatively long, and its vertebrae are connected together section by section, the two ends are thin and thick in the middle, which looks very much like the shape of a scorpion, so it is known as sheep scorpion.
The earliest sheep scorpions were eaten by poor people, because after all the meat on it was removed, only the bones were left, so the poor people bought these bones back to make soup to eat.
But then we found that the soup cooked with the scorpion, the flavor is very fresh, and the meat on the bones is also particularly delicious, so now the scorpion has become a delicacy on everyone's dinner table, and there is a lot of meat on the bones, and at the same time the price has turned over a few times, and no longer become the poor people's food, and become the public's food.
