How do Americans eat crabs? How foreigners eat crabs

For a variety of reasons, Americans have turned away from the crab yellow that the Chinese love. The best example of the clash of cultures is the rumor that the United States will ban the eating of crab roe on the grounds that the toxic substances are too high, and such rumors have aroused a strong reaction from the Chinese who love crabs for a while. In American food culture, crab occupies a very special place, and only crab meat is used as an ingredient to meet the needs of different types of dishes.

It's hard to see the shadow of crab in crab cakes and crab cakes, and it's hard to break away from our own traditional understanding of food, and perhaps Chinese diners from different cultures will regard the crab cakes like potato cakes and the crab cakes like cream lasagna as tyrannical creatures. Americans treat crabs like any other ingredient, with no aesthetic cultural attributes. On the contrary, in China, there is an old saying about eating crabs:

September round navel October tip, hold chela drinking chrysanthemum day", it is said that every year in the ninth and tenth months of the lunar calendar is a good time to eat crab drinking chrysanthemum, eat round navel female crab in September, eat sharp umbilicus male crab in October, so unhappy. After a lifetime of generations of literati, they invented ways to eat crabs such as stuffed crabs and oranges, and hand-washed crabs, and eating crabs became an interesting thing. In this way, the main purpose of eating crabs is not to eat crabs.

Americans eat crabs that are generally steamed.

It's the same way to eat, maybe it's a different way to cook, it depends on personal taste.

Crabs are rich in protein and trace elements, which have a good tonic effect on the body. Crab contains more vitamin A, which is helpful for keratinization. Crabs also have anti-tuberculosis effects, and eating crabs is very beneficial to tuberculosis.

Crab meat is cold, salty, and has the functions of soothing muscles and invigorating qi, regulating stomach and eliminating food, passing through meridians, dispersing heat, clearing heat, and nourishing yin, and can be used for bruises, tendon fractures, and allergic dermatitis. In addition, crab meat has a good effect on hypertension, arteriosclerosis, cerebral thrombosis, hyperlipidemia and various cancers.

Is it only Chinese to eat crabs???

What do Chinese not eat? "No one can answer the foreigner's question.

In the eyes of many foreigners, there are two reasons why Chinese food is unique in the world, one is extremely delicious, and the other is incredible. And in the eyes of us Chinese, foreigners don't eat this or that, and what is the meaning of living, it is simply incomprehensible. It's a clash of food cultures, but it's not just a matter of food culture.

It may also be because they have not met a good cook, braised pork, braised pork intestines, hairy blood, chili fried chicken intestines, spicy pig lungs, these words will flow when Chinese see it. Do I want to send it at night).

Coffeedecaf, a girl from Hangzhou, studied in the UK. When she arrived in the UK, she was surprised to find that the chicken wings and chicken feet in the supermarket were sold very cheaply, and a bag of more than 20 chicken wings cost more than two pounds, let alone chicken feet. Leftovers that the British don't like to eat, but they are a super delicacy for our people.

Chicken feet and pig's trotters Reason: It tastes like gnawing on human hands.

For foreigners, it is a scary experience to watch Chinese eat chicken feet for the first time, because it looks like eating human hands, and in the UK, millions of chicken feet are thrown into the trash every year, and it seems that cooperation with China in this area has recently been considered.

Crab Reason: Their eyes will be staring at you.

There are no freshwater crabs in Europe except for hairy crabs, Europeans like to eat sea crabs, hairy crabs are ugly alien species to them, many Europeans hate them, especially the British. There is a German designer who says that when you eat, it feels like he's always looking at you.

Offal Reason: It's dirty!

Tripe, large intestine, pig blood, fat intestine, pig liver and so on, for us Chinese is the top delicious, but some foreigners just can't accept it, feel too dirty. A postdoctoral fellow in Austria loves Chinese food, but is very disgusted with blood, and a Chinese said to him: I think duck blood is better than pig blood, and he frowned in disgust and said:

The first time I was told that one type of blood tastes better than another...

There are a lot of things in it that I didn't dare to eat when I was a child, such as animal heads, internal organs, chicken feet, but all of them, after eating them once, they were out of control... It can be seen from this that foreigners lack some courage...

Europeans and Americans are not interested in freshwater crabs, river crabs, hairy crabs because they feel polluted, and relatively speaking, they prefer clean sea crabs.

They just don't eat river crabs, hairy crabs...
