Huifeng Pavilion is serving.

The Manchu and Han banquets arranged by Xiang Tiange were served, with ten meat and ten vegetables.

He walked over to the table and began his speech.

These dishes are all game, giving off a natural flavor.

Xiang Tiange gushed about the food on this table, and even talked about the selection of ingredients in their store, all of which are pure natural and pollution-free.

Got rid of pig's trotters, braised baby fish, steamed wild muntjac meat, and a lot of game.

After Xiang Tiange finished serving all the dishes by the waiter, Xiang Tiange started a tirade in order to show himself to several beauties.

He said:

Eating wild game as a meal has become a unique dietary preference of the Dahua people, and they are all eaten in the sky, in the ground, in the water, and in the soil.

Pheasants, ducks, wild boars, and hares are just the beginning, and those who dare to face monkey brains and bear's paws pangolins are the gluttons.

In the eyes of the game party, meat is also divided into three, six, nine and so on.

The so-called domesticated ones are not as good as free-range ones, free-range ones are not as good as wild ones, wild ones are not as good as rare ones, and rare ones are not as good as endangered ones.

In short, rare things are expensive, and taste is rare and beautiful.

However, the gastronomic world has long since shattered this myth - game meat is no better than ordinary meat.

In fact, since humans learned to make fires, they have been exploring what can and cannot be eaten, what is delicious and what is unpalatable.

Today's chickens, ducks, pigs, cattle and sheep occupy the human table, which is the result of countless foodies voting with their mouths throughout the ages.

Wild meat, on the other hand, lacks culinary traditions and can only satisfy the curiosity mentality, and it is really unpalatable if the delicacy is not done well.

Isn't it delicious? Then I'll talk to you about nutrition! The people of Dahua have always been superstitious about using form to supplement form, and especially love to regard rare and exotic beasts as food supplements. For example, pangolins love diamonds, so they think they can become diamonds when they eat them. There are also bear paws, a pair of them can be eaten, and they can practice iron sand palms in minutes. There are also eating monkey brains to supplement the brain, eating tiger whips to supplement whips, eating eagle wings... Belch... Probably go to heaven. The four-word summary is, what to eat and what to make up.

However, this kind of crooked way is worthless except to expand the health care market.

Modern nutrition has long proved that most wild animals have no special nutritional value.

Although the official said it, it still can't stop some people from using game to spice up their lives and show off their wealth.

They frequently go in and out of hotels, clubs, farmhouses, not only eat themselves but also invite others to eat, the price is not expensive, often tens of thousands, which is the food, is the face and the way.

In some areas, eating wild meat is also a high-level form of bribery.

Often, the rarer the game, the more face-saving the leader is, and the faster he will do things.

This is another gift-giving posture after sending money, houses, cars, and antiques.

But once it's exposed, you still have to go in and pick up soap.

Dahua people love to eat very much, there is no doubt about this, many foreigners dare not eat things, in our Dahua people's eyesight is very good food, especially for some game, Dahua people are especially fond.

However, there are generally two kinds of so-called game, one is meat food, such as pheasants, hares and other animals, and the other is wild meat, which refers to collected wild vegetables and fruits.

The biological chain has an enrichment effect, that is, organisms have the ability to reach high concentrations of low-concentration chemicals in the environment through the transport and accumulation of the food chain, such as only the pesticide DDT in the body of waterbirds can be 8.33 million times the content of raw water, and terrestrial organisms also have an enrichment effect, and now the global environment is generally polluted, and the living environment of wild animals is poor.

As the human body is the highest end of the biological chain, if these animals rich in pesticide residues are eaten, it is also detrimental to health.

Eating wild animals is susceptible to a variety of diseases, because wild animals may suffer from a variety of diseases, and their brain, blood and muscles contain viruses and parasites (such as lung flukes, schistosomiasis, etc.).

Under normal circumstances, pathogens carried by wild animals are not transmitted to humans, and pathogens can only be transmitted to humans when humans destroy their living environment or hunt or eat wild animals; Especially zoonotic diseases, such as 10%-60% of macaques in Dahua carry B virus, such macaques scratch people, they may cause human infection, and the chance of raw monkey brain infection is greater.

As the saying goes, "you can't have both".

Because shark fin and bear's paw are rare, the nutritional content is also highly regarded by the public.

However, Xiang Tiange recently learned from his predecessors that "wild meat may not be rich in nutrients" has long reached a consensus in the nutrition community.

On the contrary, because the composition of ordinary fish meat is close to that of the human body, the absorption and utilization rate of nutrients are better than that of bear's paw.

According to the investigation of the Baishui Forestry Department, there are 16 species of mammals in Daba Mountain, such as wild boar, civet cat, yellow muntjac, roe deer, South China rabbit, bamboo rat, etc.;

and twenty-one species of birds, such as magpies, ring-necked pheasants, turtle doves, sparrows, partridges, bamboo pheasants, quails, etc.;

There are also twelve species of amphibians, such as various snakes, tiger frogs, Indonesian tortoises, etc., which are the most sold in the market.

This shows that nearly half of the people in Baishui believe that wild animals have high nutritional value and have a nourishing effect.

This is exactly what the old people in the south of Dahua pay the most attention to in their diet.

In many restaurants and farmhouses in Baishui City, words such as "pollution-free, pure natural, and high nutritional value" have become the advertising words of the stores;

Hotels and farmhouses around Daba Mountain have turned their iron cages with snakes, deer, birds, and other wild animals into "brands" to attract diners.

Is the tonic effect of game really that magical?

Li Cuinan, director of the nutrition department of Dahua International Union Hospital, pointed out that "wild meat may not be rich in nutrients" has long been a consensus in the nutrition community.

According to reports, from drinking blood to eating cooked food, our ancestors actually used a lot of brains in terms of how to effectively absorb nutrients and enjoy food more deliciously.

Chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, cattle and sheep were originally wild animals, and were later bred into poultry and livestock, all of which went through a process of category selection, survival of the fittest, and species evolution.

In terms of taste alone, although the game is strange but not necessarily as delicious as expected, for example, the muscle fibers of wild boars are obviously thicker and less digestible than domestic pigs; Roe deer, bamboo rat, crocodile meat, etc., generally need to add a lot of condiments in cooking to remove the fishy smell.

On the one hand, there is a relentless pursuit of plasticizers in liquor, and everyone questions how to ensure food safety?

On the one hand, the hunting of migratory birds has been repeatedly banned, and the wintering migratory birds have become a feast on the table of greedy gluttons, and the eaters no longer care about the source of "avian flu"; On the one hand, there is a panic about the hormone content of "eating pork is equal to suicide" and "instant chicken", and on the other hand, there is a lively consumption of nationally protected animals in the designated businesses for official consumption, and no one on the table at this time cares whether the game has undergone safety quarantine.

According to reports, since last autumn, a group of migratory birds have been killed in the "Millennium Bird Road" in the Luoxiao Mountains of South China;

In the Dahua Kingdom Tianjing Beidagang, the Oriental White Stork, a first-class protected animal in Dahua, was partially poisoned;

In western Xinjiang, some migratory birds are flown in by poachers disguised as poultry......

Just last year's statistics, Gao Shang, president of the Ornithological Society of Dahua, wrote in the "Wild Goose Newsletter" of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN): "In the past five years, at least 300,000 waterbirds have died in Dahua. ”

And estimates suggest that this figure is conservative.

Environmental experts say that "eating" is the most important reason for migratory birds to be killed.

Some people believe that the blood and fresh meat of live birds can "greatly replenish" the body, and in some places, eating wild meat is still a desirable eating habit. These habits and concepts objectively provide demand and market for the hunting of birds, so hunting is becoming more and more popular.

Coincidentally, Dahua Guoxinguang Media recently exposed that in Nanping County, Huxi Province, a valley that should be a paradise for animals, it presents such a picture: macaques vomiting blood and convulsing after being shot, panicked bamboo rats in iron cages, cold storage full of wild animals, and game restaurants with "designated merchants for official consumption......

These pictures were presented to the audience through the lens of the reporter of Xinguang Media, and an industrial chain of killing, trading and eating wild protected animals was exposed. Investigations have shown that in some local restaurants and restaurants in Huxi Province, operators secretly slaughter and sell macaques, which are key protected animals under national protection, while diners steal wild animals that are protected by the state, such as wild geese, badger pigs, and bamboo rats, which are beneficial or have important economic and scientific research value.

A wild restaurant called Lao Xiao Lobster has been open for more than ten years, and the owner of the restaurant introduced that there is a group of regular customers, and every time there is good game, as long as a phone call diners will come as promised. Analyzing the reasons for eating game, it is important to want nourishment and curiosity.

The Ministry of Forestry of Dahua has done a survey, the survey subjects include Kyoto, Shangguang, Guanghua and other 21 cities, the survey shows that there are two main kinds of eating wild animals, of which 33% of people are out of curiosity, and about 44% of people are identified as wild animals contain a lot of special nutrients.

Many people believe that wild game is delicious and nourishing, and even think that wild animals are organic food and are not polluted, so "wild food must be supplemented". There is no obvious difference between wild animals and captive-bred animals, and from the current research results, it has not been found that wild animals contain anything that cannot be replaced by other animal foods, and it is difficult to say that there is any special nutritional value just by eating a single food.

Therefore, there is no scientific basis for the claim that the nutritional value of wild animals is higher than that of captive-bred animals.

According to the nutritional analysis and comparison of poultry, domestic animals and several wild animals by relevant departments, they are almost the same in terms of protein, carbohydrates, energy and other main indicators.

If you want to replenish your body's energy, it is basically enough to eat beef and chicken, and you can't make a special trip to find rare wild animals to replenish it.

In addition, from the perspective of tasting, due to the growth environment, the meat of wild animals has more muscle and less fat, so there is no advantage in taste.

Eating wild meat is also admired because many people believe that wild animals grow in the inaccessible deep mountains and old forests, and eat naturally grown animals and plants, unlike artificial animal feed, which has many additives, and eating wild meat seems to be choosing safe food.

As everyone knows, game is not a green food. Due to the severe pollution of the global environment and the poor living environment of wild animals, there are also conditions of pollution, even worse than that of poultry, if people eat wild animals with genetic mutations caused by pollution, it may induce cancer and other malignant diseases.

The general population may not be well aware of the role of bioaccumulation, which is also a part of the health hazards of eating wild meat.

Bioaccumulation refers to the ability of organisms to transport and accumulate low concentrations of chemicals in the environment through the food chain to reach high concentrations.

As the highest end of the biological chain, the health of the human body can be imagined after eating these animals enriched with pesticide residues.

Many people who eat game pursue the umami taste of game, which also buries greater hidden dangers to their health.

Restaurants and restaurants that illegally sell game often operate game secretly, so there will be the problem of shoddy production during processing, and coupled with the requirements of diners to "seek freshness", it is often impossible to ensure that it is cooked and burned thoroughly.

As a result, there is no guarantee of killing the viruses and parasites carried by wild animals in their muscles, blood and internal organs.

And not all pathogens can be killed by heat, some can resist heat above 100 degrees Celsius.

In addition, poisoning is a way for many wild animals to be killed nowadays, resulting in wild animals as wild meat containing a large amount of toxins, which may cause acute or chronic poisoning after eating.

What are the mountain delicacies?

Shanzhen has different meanings in different periods.

At the earliest, the mountain people called the "Seven Pieces of Mountain Treasures", including seven kinds of mountain goods, including bear's paws, elephant trunks, deer tendons, humps, bird's nests, bamboo sunflowers, and lion's mane mushrooms.

Later, some people divided it into "eight treasures of animals", namely bear paws, elephant trunks, deer tendons, humps, scarlet lips, deer tails, monkey brains, and leopard fetuses. "Four treasures of plants", namely bamboo sunflower, bird's nest, shiitake mushroom, white fungus.

With the improvement of people's awareness of ecological and environmental protection, the so-called "mountain treasures" no longer refer to those rare animals, but refer to the mountain goods produced in the mountainous areas and cultivated by the mountain people in the natural ecological environment, such as shiitake mushrooms, bamboo sunflowers, oyster mushrooms, mushrooms, pine nuts, chestnuts, citron, ginkgo, walnuts, bamboo shoots, etc.

Edible fungi occupy an important position in mountain goods, and there are many varieties of them, which are delicious and can be made into various dishes.

Because they contain a variety of vitamins, essential amino acids, unsaturated fatty acids and trace elements, they have great value for human health, can improve human immune function, and have anti-aging and anti-fatigue effects.

According to research, edible fungi can be antiviral, lipid-lowering, antihypertensive, and can also prevent cancer and anti-cancer if consumed regularly.

The mushrooms that can be selected by people are: shiitake mushrooms, mushrooms, straw mushrooms, oyster mushrooms, chicken leg mushrooms, lion's mane mushrooms, golden fungus, slippery mushrooms, morel mushrooms, porcini mushrooms, grifola, enoki mushrooms, bamboo sunflowers, black fungus, white fungus, etc., and the variety can be called the "pyramid" of the microbial world.

"Mountain delicacies" also include hard-shelled fruits, or pods, nuts. Commonly used are walnuts, quince, pine nuts, cashew nuts, pistachios, chestnuts, hazelnuts, etc.

They are rich in high-quality protein, and the composition of their amino acids is more consistent with the needs of the human body, and is most easily absorbed and utilized by the human body.

Some nuts such as walnuts, chestnuts, quince, etc., also contain lecithin, linolenic acid, linoleic acid, choline, etc., which are beneficial to the brain, beauty, and longevity.

......

Xiang Tiange is still talking about the "mountain treasures" of Dahua. "And how natural the dishes are in front of you.

Cao Fan was speechless, don't you just have a meal? However, the world is not very peaceful now, and since he went to the antique market, demons and monsters are rampant. However, compared to humans, wild creatures will not rise again, and sooner or later they will be extinct. Xiang Tiange's words made Cao Fan fall into deep thought.

Zhang Huaer's face was speechless, he suffered such torture before he had eaten this meal, it was simply an inhuman torture. However, he felt that Xiang Tiange's professionalism was quite novel.

Nan Lingling's face was speechless, but Xiang Tiange's research on diet and ingredients also amazed her.

Heng Jing was speechless, she didn't like people who talked a lot, but wild animals were quite pitiful, and they were allowed to be mermaids.

Wu Xinyan's face was speechless, but she paid more attention to Xiang Tiange's handsome face.

Then a few people walked to the table and saw the dishes introduced by Xiang Tiange with super long content.

For a while, I swallowed my saliva when I saw the dishes.

At this moment, a miserable cry came from the river.
