Snail is a general term for freshwater snails, which is included in most areas. There is a saying among the people that people who eat snails are good. They can suck snails, and their mouth skills are good. For example, kissing is very good. However, there is a big difference between eating snail and snail. There are few people who eat snail, and even few people like to eat snail, but they only love snail.
Pit snail belongs to a kind of snail, but it has extremely high requirements for the environment. Generally, wild pit snail has high requirements for living environment and scarce resources. Generally referred to as the China round snail, this round snail can basically survive in the general waters. In the past, when the rural fresh water resources were abundant, the snail was quite abundant, and even some areas were flooded, and the old farmers weighed tens of kilograms when they picked it up. Leave it in still water for 2 days at home, and stir-fry after cutting off the tail is the best taste.
It is said that this delicious snail was deeply favored by the nobles of the palace in ancient times. According to relevant historical records, Song Gaozong, Qianlong and Cixi all like to eat snail. In ancient times, people of different classes had different needs for snails. For example, the ancients said that the poor people ate snails to satisfy their hunger, while the officials ate snails for early taste, while the poets ate snails for taste. Compared with the above, the history of eating snails is much longer. In the 1970s, a large number of snail shells were found in Paleolithic sites in Guilin and Yangchun, and their tails were cut off, which shows that people began to eat snail meat 7,000 years ago.
If the snail still lives in clean water or can be traced back, it is still a very delicious natural food in the eyes of the public. However, the current environment does not allow us to think like this. A few years ago, the snail was considered to be carrying various parasites, living in polluted rivers, and the salvage environment was dirty, which made people refuse this kind of food. In recent years, it has been exposed that snails have been specially bred, and the breeding environment is worrying, which inevitably leads people to think that snails are unclean and even disgusting when they talk about them.
The current rural environment has indeed caused many problems because of its rapid development in recent years. With the decrease of pure wild snail resources and the pollution of water areas, snails are also polluted. Coupled with the rise of artificial breeding and the use of various hormone feeds, snails are no longer the delicious food that can be picked up casually in the river decades ago. Speaking of eating snails at midnight, few people like to eat them, and what everyone loves more is the snail in the mountain pit, which has high requirements for the growth environment.
People's views on this delicious snail have lasted for thousands of years and have not changed until recent years. This change shows that we have a deeper understanding of the snail, and it is also a further understanding of this species, but public opinion has changed it from a delicious food to something that few people like to eat. Whether this is a pity or an honor for a snail has different opinions.
