The Simba Red Clay people really eat bats, specifically fruit bats, and many tribes and ethnic groups in Africa have the habit of eating fruit bats.

Fruit bats tend to be large and diverse, but as the name suggests, they have one thing in common – they feed on fruit.

There are many fruit bats in the reserve, especially in the rich fruit groves, where several fruit bats can be found on each tree.

Fruit bats are abundant elsewhere and can be found throughout Africa, and they can be found on beaches, in gardens, and on tall trees along the roadside, especially after dusk.

Fruit bats differ from common insects in that most fruit bats do not use echolocation when they go out, and they sense the direction they are heading through their large ears and long noses.

The Simba Red Clay people have few and low levels of force, and they mainly rely on crooked ways to supplement protein, so their diet style is relatively dark.

Eating fruit bats is nothing, they can also drink bat blood, raw!

Maison is very curious about this food culture, he used to wander throughout Africa when he was young, but he has never met the Simba Red Clay Clan, so this time he is interested in accompanying Uncle Yang to the small town to see the dark cuisine of the Simba Red Clay Clan.

Yang Shubao was shaking his head here, and he was already excited to enter the house: "Follow me, hurry up." ”

Lao Yang was quite resistant to this: "It's not like you haven't eaten bats, forget it, change to another one today." ”

"It's not just fruit bats in this restaurant, I can give you something else to eat," Mason said. ”

Lao Yang was still hesitating, and Maison was not very happy: "I have no interest in looking for gold, the reason why I came with you is because I am righteous, and now it is your turn to accompany me, do you want to be righteous?"

Speaking of this, Lao Yang could only follow into the house.

Mason comforted him, "It's okay, man, I'm not going to force you to eat anything, and if you don't like fruit bats, I'll give you something else." ”

Yang Shubao was fooled by these words, and reluctantly followed him into the small restaurant.

The Simba Red Clay people do not have a restaurant in the modern sense, their so-called restaurant is a thatched house, but this thatched house is relatively large, there are four small tables in it, and the five of them are crammed into a small table, if there are more people, they can put together a table to accommodate more people.

After Mason sat down, he first asked for a red platter, and Yang Shubao was curious: "What is a red platter?"

Nicole spread her hands to indicate that she didn't know.

The visiting boss smiled slightly and was about to answer, but Maison preemptively said: "Wait and see, it will be delivered soon." ”

The traditional food of the Simba red mud tribe is very small and numerous, they are not taboo, pythons, scorpions and centipedes, cattle and sheep eat, sweet potatoes, cassava and bananas are also eaten, and they eat whatever food they get.

However, they had very little access to before, they were not as good at farming as the Zulus, nor as good at farming as the Xhosa, nor as good at hunting as the San people, so they had very little food available in the wild.

But this tribe did not have this trouble, they made a lot of money from the tertiary industry, and bought a lot of meat from the small town on the other side of the river, so Yang Shubao had more choice when ordering.

The cooking style of the Simba Red Clay Tribes is biased towards a hodgepodge, which has both the original freshness and the strong spicy stimulation.

In addition to beef, chicken and fish, there are many vegetables, such as eggplant and gourd, as well as a variety of African fruits: papaya, banana, mango, avocado, jackapple, pomelo, guava and lime, and the most used spices are rosemary and curry.

Yang Shubao chose some barbecued meat, but Nicole was a little hesitant, seeing this boss's friendly introduction: "Would you like to eat fish?" If you are willing to eat, you can try our rosemary grilled fish, which is a specialty of our tribe, and the fish we choose is the crucian carp in the Lena River, which is very fresh and tastes great. ”

Seeing that the boss strongly recommended it, Nicole chose this dish.

The elves don't eat meat, they order a fruit salad.

After ordering the food, the boss left, and Yang Shubao looked around curiously.

The walls of this thatched house are covered with colorful murals, the content of the paintings is simple, mainly flames and people, the lines are bold and square, and the colors are extremely bold and full of ethnic flavor.

Mason was well-informed and helped them explain: "The Himba people do not have totems, they worship ancestors and fire, ancestors and fire are the spiritual core that sustains the nation, and the Himba people with status, status and wealth will paint murals about their ancestors and fire on the walls of their homes." ”

Adaptation is not a random editing, and murals cannot be scribbled.

The murals in each house are different, and the people on them are the ancestors of the owner's family, and the feats depicted on them are also the exploits that the ancestors have indeed achieved.

Yang Shubao looked closely, the ancestors of the restaurant owner had achieved many achievements, such as hunting a lion, leading the village to a successful migration to an oasis, and it seems that he had killed several people.

He was watching here, and the boss over there was already serving.

The first dish that was delivered was very domineering, it turned out to be a small pan like a nine-square grid hot pot, but it was not divided into nine-square grids, but a total of six grids, each of which had a cloudy red liquid in it.

Yang Shubao was stunned when he saw it: "What is this?"

The blood elf replied immediately, "It's blood, blood." ”

Yang Shubao also felt like blood, but he couldn't believe it, how could anyone make dishes with blood that hadn't yet coagulated?

Maison smirked: "This is the red platter, which contains the blood of six animals and birds. ”

"It's all freshly released, and you'll feel warm when you taste it. The boss said with a smile.

Yang Shubao looked at Nicole in shock, Nicole had a bleak face, and she couldn't accept this.

Mason explained to them again: "Blood is one of the local food cultures, and they believe that drinking raw animal blood can obtain animal power......"

Yang Shubao couldn't help but exclaim, "This is too heavy, isn't it?"

Mason shrugged and said, "There are heavier mouths, they also like to drink the blood of fruit bats raw, just make an opening in the blood vessels of fruit bats, and then insert a straw into it......"

"Don't say it, don't say it. Yang Shubao felt that his face was probably better than Nicole, and he couldn't see anything, "Remove this, let's eat honestly, okay?"

Maison encouraged him, "Taste, taste." ”

Yang Shubao didn't dare to taste it, he took the bill to see the price, Nicole cooperated with him skillfully, and quickly took out his wallet and took out the money and put it on the table.

"Check out, eat yourself, I'm not hungry. ”

Lao Yang couldn't eat it.

Fortunately, other dishes were served, barbecued meat, grilled fish, among which the grilled fish is not bad, it is wrapped in fresh rosemary grass leaves and roasted in the river fish, after opening the grass blades, the fish is inside, the fish scales have been removed, and you can directly taste the delicious river fish meat.
