Chapter Twenty-Six: East African Cuisine?

Promoting pig farming is a well-suited path for East Africa, and Ernst intends to make pork one of the main meats consumed in East Africa in the future.

As for beef and mutton, in this regard, the risk of pasture breeding in East Africa is higher than that of other countries, the pastures of other countries, the United States, Argentina, Europe, and Asia, almost all of which are in the middle and high latitudes, and the climate is relatively mild, of which 40 to 50 degrees north and south latitudes are called the "golden grassland belt".

The grasslands of Africa are spread along the equator, forming a unique savanna, and the most important problem that plagues pasture farming in East Africa is pests and diseases, among which the tsetse fly is an insurmountable problem, and the way to deal with the tsetse fly is to rely on manual care and maintenance.

Tsetse flies are mainly found in hot and humid rainforests, river valleys and other environments, which is why East African pastures are established in northern Kenya and Plateau Province, two regions with scarce rainfall and dry climates. The best place in Africa for large ranches is actually South Africa, which is the highest latitude in Africa.

Of course, there is no need to think of tsetse flies as too scary, this thing is not unique to Africa, in fact, the Middle East and North Africa also exist, but obviously Arabs are less affected by tsetse flies than Africans, which is still related to the health situation. Many natives don't even bother to chase away flies crawling on their bodies, let alone take care of their livestock.

However, because of the uniqueness of the African savannah, it is indeed not conducive to cattle and sheep breeding, not a problem of quantity, but a problem of quality. For example, people are definitely more willing to buy good quality beef, and it is definitely more competitive in the international market for North and South American and European beef.

In the previous life, because of the discourse power of the West, the world gave people the illusion that Westerners drank red wine with steak all day long, and Americans ate fried chicken burgers all day long.

This is misleading by public opinion, for example, Westerners also eat pork chops, but they don't see how the Far East promotes it, it should not taste very good.

In the previous life, Americans were the first to consume chicken meat, but American capitalists also raised pigs, and added some harmful substances in order to increase the lean meat rate, but Americans rarely ate pork, mainly for export.

At present, pork and mutton are still the first meat consumed by the common people in Europe, even in the 21st century, and North and South America are completely different from Europe because of the development of animal husbandry.

So why is it that Europeans as a whole have slowly replaced pork consumption with beef, and steak has almost become a representative food of high-end material life in the West.

The fundamental reason is that Europeans have too few ways to handle pork, first of all, in terms of breeding, pork that has not been castrated has too much smell.

The second is that the approach to pork is too monotonous, and in Ernst's view, Germany has become the most pork-loving European country because of the production of sausages and bacon, bacon and ham, which make pork a delicious delicacy.

German sausages are the most famous in the world, Germans love to eat sausages very much, and there are no less than 100 ways to make sausages, which are roughly divided into three kinds of grilled sausages, boiled sausages and raw sausages, Nuremberg sausages, curry sausages, smoked dark beer sausages, Vienna sausages and blood sausages, etc.

If Far Eastern sausages are introduced on this basis, the picture must be very beautiful, Ernst liked Sichuan sausages very much in his previous life, mainly because Ernst himself was more spicy in his previous life. If you don't like spicy, don't worry, check out the sweet Cantonese sausage.

Regarding pork practices, there is also a big killer in the Far East, that is, "marinated" products, which can be said to be a characteristic of the Far East.

Marinated products are also good for canned military rations, Ernst's food factory has experience in this area, during the Italian-Austrian war, the Vienna food factory launched two flavors of braised beef and pork, the front line feedback is very good, but because of the small output, it almost became the exclusive food for Austrian officers in the later period.

This kind of canned military rations, in terms of taste, directly kills British corned beef, but the shelf life is only one year, and the cost of canning is high, so the output is small.

The main reason is that it is impossible for the army to rely on canned food to maintain food, and most of the army still has to fire and cook, and only use it in case of emergency.

However, the army food, in this era, completely depends on the craftsmanship of the cooks, which can almost be described as miserable.

Like military cans, especially those produced in Heixinggen, the conquest of the Austrian army was very easy for the taste buds.

At present, the Vienna Food Factory and the Berlin Food Factory are increasing their efforts to develop new products (copying Far Eastern halogen products), and plagiarism is almost commonplace for Heixingen food companies.

As a member of the foodie power in his previous life, would Ernst honestly invest in the research and development of food? Most of the R&D funds of Heixingen Food Enterprises are invested in how to "store" food.

As for the taste of the food, it is enough to copy it directly if there is a ready-made one, anyway, there are more things that Europeans have not seen.

In addition to marinated products, it is the diversity of folk cooking methods in East Africa, European folk cooking pork is mainly fried and roasted, East Africa is different, frying, frying, steaming, boiling, and roasting, and East African foodies with conditions have long been arranged.

The immigrants in East Africa are more diverse, but the immigrants from the Far East and Italy who really know how to eat are more demanding in terms of food enjoyment, and the rich products of East Africa give them room to play.

Among them, frying is very East African characteristics, East African edible oil is mainly vegetable oil, and the choice of vegetable oil in East Africa is more diverse, among which sesame oil is the best quality, after all, it is the most suitable place in the world to grow sesame seeds, Africa has a huge advantage in this regard, and butter is completely extinct in East Africa, or it has never appeared at all.

East Africa is dominated by beef cattle, milk production is not considered at all, and the lack of raw materials natural butter production is not high, that is, there may be a small number of immigrants in pastoral areas to make homemade butter.

That is, there is a group of Dutch cows in the first town, which has become a special supply for the first town, but it is not suitable for large-scale promotion, and the first town, as the capital, has endless privileges.

In the previous life, there were three famous dishes in the world, namely Chinese food, French food, and Turkish food, regardless of taste, only in terms of influence, there should be British-Indian curry masala cuisine, Japanese food, and American fast food.

Chinese food is mainly Shandong cuisine, European cuisine, and Italian cuisine is the main food in East Africa.

But no one pushes it, which leads to the fragmentation of East African cuisine, and Ernst is very willing to exist an East African cuisine that brings together the advantages of various cuisines in the world.

Based on the four major cuisines of Chinese cuisine, it incorporates the characteristics of German cuisine, and finally integrates the best parts of the world's cuisines.

East Africa has natural advantages, except for the lack of ingredients in the cold zone, most of them can be copied, but there seems to be no food in the cold zone, pickled puffin? Canned herring?
