Why doesn t anyone dare to eat the badger in the mountains in the countryside?

Wildlife in the countryside.

There are still a lot of them, among which there is the "badger" that people often say, and this animal is called "badger eight dogs" in the countryside. When I was a child, badgers were often found in the fields, which was a pest in the countryside, and often went into the fields to spoil the crops. Originally, the crops in the field had low yields, but it did not let go of all kinds of fruits and vegetables.

In previous years, when harvesting watermelons, they would build a shed in the field to watch, one side is to prevent someone from stealing melons, and the other is to prevent "badgers".

There are three common badgers, the dog badger.

Pig badgers and wolverines.

As the name suggests, the badger looks like a puppy, the badger looks like a pig, and the wolverine looks like a wolf. Dog badgers and pig badgers often haunt the countryside, and they are about the same size, that is, the pig badger has the same nose as a pig and barks like a pig. Wolverines are relatively rare, generally only in the jungle, if they run out, they will be driven away directly, because wolverines are the same as wolves, and they are fierce beasts.

It looks like a bear from a distance, so it is also called a mink bear.

The most common in the hometown is the "dog badger", that is, the badger eight dogs, which are more than half a meter long, and the limbs are short but very stout. Dog badgers are very afraid of people, and generally haunt places with few people, some barren forests and grasses, hillsides and outskirts, cemeteries, etc. They stay in their burrows during the day, come out at night to feed, and hibernate in the winter.

Badgers have a very mixed diet, eating whatever they catch, insects, mice, bird eggs, and prefers easy crops.

The badger is a very ferocious animal, and dogs larger than it dare to attack, and they are more vindictive, and children generally do not dare to provoke it. In addition, because it often haunts the cemetery, it adds some mystery to it. In the countryside, there is "Ning Jalan Wong Tai Sin."

Do not recruit evil badgers". In fact, the badger is particularly good at burrowing, thanks to its thick front paws, which can dig a hiding hole in the ground in a short time. The cave is also very powerful, and the cave is directly connected to each other, and there are several exits, so it seems to be elusive.

When I was a child, I saw a badger cave, the entrance of the cave was very large and very open, and the inside was very smooth. According to the elderly, badgers are hygienic animals, and some people see that they wash their hands with water. And badgers never defecate in the hole where they live, and have their own special toilet, usually near the entrance of the hole, and there is more than one.

I heard from the old man that because the badger digs a better hole, there are often foxes coming to occupy it.

It is said that "eight catties of badgers and seven catties of oil", badger oil is scalded on **.

Although the badger is very ferocious, there are always people who take risks to catch the badger. Under the net, under the clamp, and even with medicine, all kinds of means are not used, just to satisfy the appetite. On the other hand, some wasteland forests in rural areas have basically disappeared, and changes in the habitat environment and artificial capture have also led to fewer and fewer badgers in rural areas, and children can only see them from **.

I haven't heard of badgers in my hometown for many years, and other wild animals are basically gone. In fact, this is also part of the ecology, and it should be protected without affecting life.

Because the meat quality of the badger is not good, and it may also carry some bacteria and viruses, no one eats it.

Wild badger pigs are not allowed to be eaten, after all, wildlife needs to be protected now.

Badgers are the mustelidae of mammals that are widely distributed in Eurasia and North America. The badger's limbs are thick and strong, with strong, thick long claws growing in front of the toes, and the claws are as long as the front toes.

Badgers can weigh up to 15 kilograms, have a body length of 50 centimeters, and a tail length of 10 centimeters. The body is fat, with a small head, a pointed mouth, small eyes, short ears, a short neck, and a short tail. The badger's nose has a well-developed nose pad, which resembles a pig's nose, so it is also called a pig badger.

Of course, you can talk nonsense, you must cook it when you eat it, and you can only eat it after it is cooked, because wild pigs and poultry may have bacteria.

Wait. In life, there are many ways to eat badger meat, and the most common is braised badger meat.

There are several reasons why badger meat cannot be eaten:

1.Wild animals are easy to carry pathogenic bacteria, and improper cooking can cause bacterial infections and endanger human health, so China does not advocate the consumption of wild meat.

2.Dog badger is not a common poultry livestock, thousands of years of people domesticated for food of animals have their meat quality and nutritional value, dog badger as a wild or fur-making animal is not suitable for consumption.

3.Dog badger meat can carry viruses or bacteria, and if you eat unprocessed dog badger meat, you may have a viral infection or bacterial infection.

4.Excessive consumption of dog badger meat will increase the burden on the stomach and intestines, indigestion and other symptoms.

1. Put the badger.

Wash and cut the meat, put the meat into the cold water and boil in the pot, after the water boils, you can see a thick layer of meat foam on it, let the boiling water continue to boil for half a minute, and then take out the meat and wash the meat with water. Repeat the above steps one more time. After the second time the water is boiled, you will find that the meat foam is much less.

2. After the meat is drained, heat the wok and add a little peanut oil.

Put the meat into the pot and stir-fry, turn down the heat, and slowly "bake" the badger oil in the meat, this step is a bit like roasting small fish larvae, we eat small fish larvae in this way in a semi-hot pot baking, but the purpose of roasting small fish is to remove the water content of the fish, roasting pig badger meat is to "force" out the excess oil in the meat, because the smell of badger meat largely comes from badger oil, this process needs to be patient, at least it takes more than 20 minutes, until the pig badger meat looks darker, After the white oil layer shriveled, it was almost possible to enter the nuclear circle, and there was no next step.

3. Pig badger meat is relatively hard, so use a pressure cooker. Pour the previously processed meat into the pressure cooker, put a tael of rice wine, pour in water, and the amount of water can cover the meat slightly. **Wait until the pressure cooker is out of the gas to start the timer, turn off the heat after 12 to 18 minutes (the time is based on personal taste, don't cook it for so long if you like to eat chewy meat, and cook it for a longer time if you like to eat rotten meat), take out the meat after the pressure cooker is out, and don't want the juice inside.

Go to the next step.

4. Heat the pot and add oil, pour in the ginger slices and green onions, slowly stir over low heat until fragrant, and then pour in the bay leaves.

Tangerine peel, star anise, cinnamon.

Stir the peppercorns together until fragrant, pour in the badger meat and turn to high heat to stir-fry, and fry the water vapor in the dried meat. Then pour in the dried chili pepper and stir-fry the meat together, stir-fry the aroma of the chili, fry off its dryness, and pour in the appropriate amount of two-pot head wine after the chili pepper is fragrant.

Cover the pot and simmer for 10 seconds, add an appropriate amount of salt and stir-fry well, pour in an appropriate amount of water to drown the badger meat, and simmer for 5 minutes.
