This June 6 last year, in order to support a friend written by Ichiro named post. At that time, Shenzhen is trying to legislate against eating wild game. And later was canceled. SARS this year, again, the result that kill civet cats.
The Chinese are adept at forgetting, and I hope we can learn. Society and nature live together in peace.
Yesterday saw trouble of swirling, and Ichiro students about SARS in Inner Mongolia feelings Nostoc articles, the donkey did not expect such waves caused the altar. As I have lived in Canton for 10 years, also passed the majority of domestic cities, but also more greedy, they take a ride, a few are talking nonsense.
Guangdong is indeed a food the province. Food is too refined, figure 100, and continuously innovation are the characteristics of Cantonese cuisine. Reform and opening up, Guangdong collar atmosphere of the first, the first group of wealth is here.
An agricultural society under the form of Guangdong, are so poor. Because this land is poor and not suitable for planting high-yielding crops and animal husbandry. 60's three years of natural disasters, the death count a person more and more. Chaozhou-Shantou area in particular, if you went by car from Guangzhou, Shantou, and you'll see mostly sandy roadside fields, saline-alkali soil. In addition to kinds of watermelon and sweet potatoes, this land is not producing food. This is seen on a train bound for the Northeast expanse of fertile farmland, poles apart. Therefore, the history, this piece of land is not dependent, resulting in waves of traveling at sea, their homes, going to survive Chaozhou guy. When poor, and only porridge to drink, enough to eat, we drive a mix sweet potatoes, Chiu Chow (Chaozhou refers) and sweet potato porridge known, in fact, have a hunger frustration behind. On the sweet potato porridge to eat seafood, is a poor reflection of the coastal fishermen.
Cantonese good eating wild game, the good will of all the import of animals, but also traditional and poverty associated. Such as snakes, previously in other areas, is no one would dare to eat, and even now the northeast, if you want people over 50 years of age to try this thing, he has to go through ideological struggle. Because people never think that this is something eat. From ancient times, the Yi people eat Lingnan is that they can capture the all living beings. In Dongguan, I tried a dish is to use bamboo inside the maggots and eggs fried out, and if not then the excessive hunger, who would eat it maggot flies long and the same thing? There are water, cockroaches, and cockroaches like the first touch, living in the water, now is an expensive dish in Guangdong. When eating, reportedly boiled the most genuine, a cockroach bite the butt end of breakout juice. I do not remember what state was the one wholeness has seen somewhat of a nausea. There are mice, cats, sparrows. Sparrows was listed, on the millions of have been hunting into Guangdong Province were Panzhong Can the allocation of birds hair, the hawkers on the roadside killing of living, without tools, hand a squeeze and intestines came out. Housewives who stand on the sidelines, waiting for his basket filled with lotus bird corpses.
In the article Ichiro Replies years, some said it was the first hug Nostoc was only to eat. And determine that he is the right logic. Is not it? It made me think of the Tibetan antelope. Tibetan antelope hunting is a very hard living and now it is ready to risk being arrested. Which is why hunters taking great risks, preferring to kill sheep in trouble have to wind it? Because it has great market demand, there is also precious than gold antelope fur. Antelope fur to do a scarf, in the European market can fetch thousands of dollars! This is not the hunting themselves directly to the Naqu Mai.
Speaking of antelope, but talk about the enormous damage to the grassland goats. Food value than goats, but sheep. However, the body of the cashmere goat, but its extremely expensive. However, different from goats and sheep, sheep grazing, eating at the top, grass-roots still sported, while the goats, it is uprooted, the Guozhi Chu, extermination. Because of the enormous destruction of goats on vegetation, Europe, Japan, the Americas, raising goats is prohibited. However, the Western lady who would like to have a soft, warm, lightweight cashmere scarf, cashmere overcoat. Therefore, they turn their eyes to the East, he, to invest in economic development is the last word in China. Ningxia, Inner Mongolia, Shanxi. . . The number of grassland into showing off their fur.
There is demand, there is the market, there is supply.
Nostoc, in the northwest is no one as a food. Is used to feed sheep, pigs, and never feed people.
Reform and opening up, 8 characters face, Nostoc suffer because of the name. Cantonese is not only their own food, but also bring this culture into the country. Land desertification, children and grandchildren suffer, just because business people are so-called "good intentions head."
Pull far away, going back to reform and opening up, Guangdong people who get rich first.
Years of famine broke out in strength is endless. 咱Cantonese money, the country's delicious food and game Chung would like to Guangdong. Where he comes from civet cats, Hubei. Pangolin where he comes from, Guangxi and Viet Nam. Guangdong snake eat around there Fujian, Hunan, Guangxi, Zhejiang. There are lizards, wild boars, bear's paw Lubian. . . With the Northern Expedition in Guangdong restaurants, people across the country have fallen in love with. Wealthy tycoons, there is the identity of officials, tired of eating chicken and duck meat, and only Cantonese continuous fashion.
Sun Yat-sen underground have knowledge, know his Northern Expedition in today's shine, I do not know how to mind the taste?
Wealth famous dish called shark's fin. Your complete without justification. And the world is only咱Chinese taste this mouth. Received a friend sent photos. Foreign fishing vessels caught shark, the shark with the curium sub-dorsal fin, tail fin, pelvic fins amputated, and then of little value Renghui sea shark is still alive. Sharks lose to the activities of the components, had quietly lying on the seabed, with wounds still bleeding. Finally because of hunger and bled to death. That group of photos I saw was shocking, but I do not know good job in this 1000 classic bowl of shark fin moneybags who will stop this cruel killing it? If it is because some people kill sharks, only to eat, then why foreigners do not eat their own catch of foreigners? Why are Chinese people, especially the Guangdong Hong Kong to eat? With the product is the only market still with the needs of only kill, it is clear.
SARS is an opportunity. Shenzhen legislation,吃野生动物fine 1000, 2000 ordering the penalty. But I think that is not in place, should reward whistle-blowers, the 2000 bonus as a whistle-blowers in order to eradicate this cruel barbaric habits.
No scratch, think of what to write where. Paragraphs are thoughts unclear confusion. Is not to the resistance against the Guangdong cuisine, just want to eat above Guangdong, but also overcome the bad habits, civilized.
